wsj wine The rise and fall of Australian Shiraz has been one of the more dramatic stories in the wine business in the past several years. And there aren’t many bright spots ahead- at least not yet. Sales are still down by a considerable margin (save for a few pockets of growth) and wines from heralded producers like Jeffrey Grosset are no longer even imported to this country. Entire import companies like Dan Philips’ Grateful Palate have disappeared. Grateful Palate went into receivership about two years ago and Philips himself seems to have vanished.
