2025 Rockford Mailer

No Rag received yet but looks like online order has been updated (today 1st Oct) to include this years release. Seems Basket Press has increased $2, same with RR and maybe others. Can anyone comment on the 22 Barossa vintage? Will probably get a mix as usual although won't go heavy on BP like I did ...

Re: August 2025 Purchases

After last nights announcement, jumped on and purchased a 3 pack of the 2024 Thistledown This Charming Man Grenache. Lets see what the hype is all about.

I’ll likely purchase as I have over the last 4 years, but maybe not go as deep as I did in the past 2 years.

Cheers Ed
Believe tomorrow is release date (29th)

Standish V23

Hello All, Trying to gauge the interest in V23 from Standish this year and contemplating whether I'll wet my toes again (aiming to reduce wine expenditure this year without much luck). Been reading posts here on Auswine Forum and AWCC on Facebook from those who have been lucky enough to visit the ce...

Re: 2024 Wendouree Mailer

Someone was quick - already a bottle of the 24B listed in the upcoming Oddbins auction with a price guide of $300-$350. Happy to receive the 3 I ordered at a much more respectable price!

Shame people are only in it for a quick buck.

Re: 2024 Wendouree Mailer

CC hit for what looks like everything I requested - mix 1.5 dozen inc. the Muscat. Green crayon. SA. Looking forward to Erin Larkin's video review of this vintage too. Not sure I should admit this but I am yet to try a bottle of Wendouree! My second year of successfully ordering after a few years on...

Re: Standish Mailer

Yeah I jumped on about 10mins after the receiving the email.

2 x Lamella
2 x Shubert
1 x Standish

Checked periodically during the day and everything was still available. No need for my hastiness!

Gabriel-Glas StandArt Wine Glasses

Hello All, Have made the decision to get my hands on some StandArt wine glasses but seem to be difficult to track down. Does anyone know if these are sold locally in SA? Or if you've purchased online before can you recommend a retailer? If you purchased online did your glassware arrive in one piece!...

Yarra Yering

Hi All, I've had Yarra Yering on my list of wines to try, and to potentially start adding to my cellar. Last week I received an email with their vintage release of the 2023 Light Dry Red Pinot Shiraz (50:50 blend). Didn't pull the trigger... Looks like the Dry Red No.1 is the one everyone talks abou...

Re: Favourite Mailing Lists / Annual Releases

First time posting on here but have found the site really helpful to learn and find new wines to try. With that in mind, which mailing lists or annual releases do you look forward to most? (Wendouree excluded ha). For me, the Sami Odi one first up, Lakes Folly a few months later plus finding hidden...
