I went for a single bottle of’19 Wynns JR @$65 with my CD.co credit

Cc hit yesterday, just under half of my order.

The closest restaurant to me that I know has BP (Black Cow, Launceston) charge $75/glass via Coravin or $350/bottle.

I’m still waiting, but only been on the list 10 years, red crayon.

Last few years haven’t really received much of anything I ordered. First 6 or 7 years I was lucky to get everything on my 18 bottle order, quite confused about the whole process.

Houghtons 2010 Gladstones Yum! Oh joy, oh bliss! Positively beautiful wine, and plenty left in the tank. Those who were wise and loaded up on the 2020 version at $35 will be very happy in another 10 years time. If my liver doesn’t pack up by then I will be happy too. This and the Sami-Odi Baby Tui ...

I've also had one of my '15 MM PN's now and thought it was really good but a bit young, I plan to give the other one at least 5 more years

Seems MB tWF agrees with me….. or is it the other way around

Black Cow is great, Cataract on Paterson’s and Grain of the Silos are also pretty good.

Not made it to Stillwater yet but hope to one day

Ghost Rock is much further west near Port Sorrel - worth visiting but not as part of a Tamar trip. If you like Sparkling I recommend Apogee, (East Tamar) they also have a Pinot Noir and are close to Clover Hill - also sparkling. Jansz, another sparkling house do a good tasting and are close to Delam...

CellarTracker says I paid $42.23 a bottle for mine including delivery

I lashed out on 4 x ‘14 Graveyard Shiraz back when they were released- not planning on opening my first for a while yet

Thanks for these notes, I have 3 Margaret’s in my cellar I picked up on a Langton’s sale 6-7 years ago and was thinking it might be time to try my first. Seems I landed on my feet with the ‘14 vintage

Does anyone know the aboriginal name for Wendouree?

Seriously? Surely you would just address it to Clare, as usual

Clare sounds traditional to me?

I have 2 x Mount Mary Pinot Noir 2015 - I best dig one out sooner rather than later

Good luck with that - not something I seem to do very well…..

I was there for a Stonewall lunch two days ago, tasted the current releases after the lunch and thought they were all* a bit more tannic than I expected, including the RR that seems to be liked / rated by many. I put it down to it being rushed and I’d had my fill of wine with a little more age, but ...

Where does the Rockford VP sit in the Aussie offerings?

No Luck yet in Tas

Hope their server doesn't get hacked

Aramex again...why cant people just use Auspost. They wont knock on my door and they will just leave the wine outside. Not so bad at this time of year, but the same happens in the summer months. Aramex doesn’t deliver to my location so they pass it onto another courier who also don’t deliver to me…...

Hellyers Road is in Tassie just near where I live and has been getting good awards. I think you can get some of their range in DM. They have had Peated whiskey in their range but not sure if they are the ones sold in the big chains

tWF reviews have been posted

Picked up 8 bottles. 3 each of the Relic and Standish, 1 each of the others.

I went the opposite, 3 each Schubert and Lamellar, 1 each the others.

Are you (or anyone else here) familiar with the Heirloom Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache? is it a similar style to any of the Grenache I have tried before? Cheers Steady The 2022 version of the Alcala is half price as a mystery wine on one website at the moment. Cheers Ian My dozen freebees arrived We...

Hi Michael, of your list I've only tried Cirillo, Dodgy Bros, Vanguardist and Yangarra - I have also tried Eperosa and Rockford. Apart from the Vanguardist I tried all at the CD before purchasing. I have liked most Grenache I've tried even though they are different styles. Are you (or anyone else h...

Biodynamic, moon phase, flower day are new age religious terms abused to justify ridiculous prices for wine.
