Wine drinkers

[Daves]

just a few bob in that sitting......lamb costs a bomb these days strange the St H was gone and 2 years younger than the Grange??

Halliday didn't like this vintage and nominated it as drink by 2003, but it lived a little longer than that. This was the last of 2 dozen I bought back in '96. This was the only one of the 24 that was a little below par. The Grange was supplied by a mate. By the way, the Entree was a whole BBQ Coral Trout, washed down with a Xanadu Chardy!.

1974 Barollo - Gifted - I figure drink it as I don't have a proper cellar.
Anyone have a deal on a wine fridge?

Twinkles, want my Vintec?
Would look great up on your entertaining area!
Not working but wouldn't cost much to get fixed, we are upgrading to a new model....

very nice mate, sounds like one of "those memorable sessions"

We polished off a 1990 Grange last weekend. It went down superbly with a marinated Lamb roast. Seriously good!, Halliday nominated it as being perhaps the best Grange vintage ever. We also cracked a bottle of '92 St Henri. It was past its best, but still a very good drink.

My invite must have been lost in the post. Had both a 90 and 91 a couple of years ago. The 90 is awesome but the 91 was drinking well. The 98 will be the one to watch as well. A great vintage year for SA.

Mitchelton had a special on their 2010 Heathcote Shiraz recently, great drop

Love the Heathcote.

I haven't sampled yet but Dan's were doing a members 2 for 1 on Mount Langi Shiraz this week at East Bris. Hard to not buy any $20+ wine for half price.

So many good wines out there, and so many bargains on offer. I have over 400 bottles cellared. And that is just the good stuff! I can't keep up with the inflow! but I am trying hard!

Hux I had a contact a little while back and managed get old of a heap of the Mount Langi Shiraz as well as the Billi Billi Pino Grigio.

From memory I paid about $6 a bottle for the red.

Solid drop.

Was out for lunch yesterday with a supplier and I had a couple of glasses of the Hugh Hamilton 2012 "The Rascal" Shiraz. This retails, as per Crackawines, for about $26, but this drinks like $80+ quite easily.

If you have the chance give it a go

Thanks buddy but I've just had one installed in the new kitchen.

[Captain Nemo]

Gotcha...
Anyone else in Sydney want it?

[Captain Nemo]

Went to check out my stocks at the inlaws...around 15 cases from around 2000 to 2008
Looks like I need to start drinking more wine....

[Hatchman]

I notice some otor style cartons Cpt, they haven't been packaged in those for a very long time.

[Captain Nemo]

All mixed up mate, we've drunk some and others just went in boxes with similar styles/blends...
I really need to get under there and do an inventory one rainy day!

My wife likes Sangioveses. Any suggestions?

[PerryGroves]

Nemo, I don't like the stemless glasses, am I wrong?

SA has some very good ones, but mostly via the boutique vineyards. Try some like these;

Thanks Daves. I've passed those on to her. I'm pretty sure she has had the Coriole.

I'm not a fan, but the missus likes Krosno...

[Daves]

Thanks Daves. I've passed those on to her. I'm pretty sure she has had the Coriole.

I buy most of my wine from Vinomofo these days. They have deals from time to time on imported wines. I bought an Italian mix that included Sensi Sangiovese that was quite good, and quite reasonably priced as well. It is a great Pizza Wine.

[AndyP]

She likes the Dal Zotto that has only been found in a few shops. She doesn't drink much, so online orders might be a bit ambitious since you probably need to get a few for value.

I don't mind a bottle of the Coriole with a good homemade Parma.
