One of the wines I tried while at the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival, was Australian based Molly Dooker. The name, which is Aussie for Left Hander, is much like the wine — it's fun, and doesn't take itself too seriously.
I ended up trying their 2006 Shiraz, The Boxer, and was rather impressed. The flavor — blackcurrants mixed with chocolate undertones and a bit of spice — seems like it would cost more than $20 a bottle.
There was definitely a good bite and it wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, however it's worth the purchase — which I know you're going to do based on their cute labels alone. If nothing else, it would be a good gift for the lefty in your life.

I've been a fan of the 2005 Boxer for a long time. It started out very reasonably priced until it got 97 points from Robert Parker and then it was hard to come by.
1Yes yes yes!
Mollydooker is indeed "a good drop!"
One some of their wine they even encourage you to SHAKE it - called naturally "The Mollydooker Shake." Check it out!
