Thank you all for the considered responses, will look into some air conditioning, might be worth a little investment to get this right instead of rolling the dice on the vino.

Good point - no it wasn't in a bottle of wine/water... ambient

Hi ya'll Looking for some storage advice. Have about 200 bottles sitting in an offsite cellar (nothing incredibly expensive, probably median price point is ~A$35), with perfect temperature/humidity control. My good friend has a new house and it has a wine cellar room. It is on the bottom level, and ...

I find it interesting that in a thread entitled HOG vs. Grange everyone is suggesting something else!

If it is based on current vintages, I compared both side by side at a tasting last year and HOG being preferred of the two.

Thoughts on 2013 white label? I was a big fan on 2012, and have not as yet compared the two

Make sure you go to Peel Estate wine in the Peel region - it's a good stop on the way back from MR or on the way to MR - nice place with something a bit different than your MR mega wineries

If you do go further south, West Cape Howe is nice.... also Wills Domain is a top spot for some food

G'day all From memory, everyone was chortling a few months ago when it was mentioned that some of our friends in China were slurping back a heady concoction of primo Grange and the black fizzy stuff from Coca Cola Amatil..... I was part of the contingent from memory and it was to my surprise then th...

Thanks for the write up, and nice photo

Cheers

Have lived in perth for four years, and a good night for me would be:

A beer or two to start at the roof top bar Bob's Bar (on top of Print Hall)
Short walk to Balthazar, good ambience & wine list
Finish with a drink or two at Helvetica

Not sure if this is on the money (don't usually buy older wine), but picked up a 1998 bottle of 389 at a local bottle shop for $89....

Not sure if they'd tried to sell it a few years prior at that price, then didn't change the label?

I'd love to know too

Probably best way to do it is to ask the celebs themselves - hit them up directly on Twitter, including Adam himself

Had a quick weekend trip in Margaret river, only had a day to visit the wineries and so managed Vasse Felix, Cullen, and Flametree. Cullen is an excellent spot for lunch. Had a glass of their diana madeline over a grazing board.... sublime 12 x 2012 Vasse Felix Theatre red (CD only quaffer on specia...

G'day Luke

To upload pics, i reckon get an account on a service like Flickr or Google Picasa or somewhere like that, then use the BBCode options available on the right hand side of the screen when you post.

Sounds like a great spot

Central Otago notes: had a three day respite from a west-coast/south island bike tour of New Zealand and took the opportunity to partake in their vinerous offerings. Being new to wine and in particular to Pinot, I was hoping that my previous aversion to this lighter style red would be removed should...

" Food pairing was meat pies, chips and salad from the Pie Tin in Newtown. " awesome

I voted 4 - 5 bottles. Much of this is consumed in the one to two hours per day where I am cooking (it's a hobby), generally I cook with a glass of wine going at all times... not entirely sure why - probably to do with a certain TV chef a few decades ago which as a child imparted that the two be pai...

Mark - you're right. It is the 2010.... copy & paste mistake from my wine ark notification e-mail
