Re: 2026 Sami-Odi Offer
Thanks. I am on the waiting list but not sure how long it will take. I saw some places sold the Little Wine at sub $160 before. Thinking maybe they would sell it at sub$160 again in the new release.

Re: 2026 Sami-Odi Offer
How long does it take to be on their mail list normally? Are theses wines are intended for long-term cellaring? Never try it and thinking if I should get one from secondary market. Thanks.

Re: Giaconda Chardonnay Alternatives
Any comment for the Domenica Chardonnay or Giaconda Nantua Chardonnay? Langtons has a 6 bottle set of Nantua for sale at $340.

Re: Giaconda Chardonnay Alternatives
I usually take a bottle of Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay or Tyrrell's Vat 47 for special occasion that suit with white wines. I also missed the Giaconda release and keen to try the Beechworth Chardonnay that I haven't tried before. May I know how can I be included in the mail list of Sorrenbe...

Re: Red wine from the fridge
That is a good question I also wanted to ask. During summer time the ambient temperature is so high that I normally put the red (even its a pricy wine) to the fridge (my wine fridge is full) for half hour before opening. However, the temperature goes back to 2x degrees in the decanter. How do you gu...

Thank you. Eventually I didn't go for it.

Re: Is $500 a bottle of Penfolds Grange justified the price?
Thanks. I only started drinking wines and exploring the wine world for around 20 years by the time when I can afford drinking wines regularly. I was highly influenced by the colleagues and friends, obsessed to so called the iconic wines which the price was unaffordable to me. Now the RRP is even hig...

Re: Is $500 a bottle of Penfolds Grange justified the price?
Thanks for your comment. I understand and even 50% from the RRP is still a very expensive wine for me and I can find a lot of alternative. I agree with you that I should purse the wines that I enjoy rather than obsessed by the so called iconic or collectable wines. Sometimes its hard to neglect the ...

Is $500 a bottle of Penfolds Grange justified the price?
I have a chance to grab a bottle of bottle of Penfolds Grange 2018 (offload from a friend, at his cost price) at $500. I never have a chance to taste a Grange and I already have a 2017 Grange in the cellar. Do you think $500 justify the price? Or should I use the same amount of money for a better hi...

Re: Standish Mailer
Anyone purchase wine in the Standish annual mailer today? I was able to purchase wine 45 minutes after the mailer opened up on the Standish website. Not quite the feeding frenzy of Giaconda or Sami Odi, reflecting the high price points and greater production levels than the other two. I purchased 2...

Re: April 2024 purchases
Any idea about the wine quality of the Standish 2022 release? Couldn't find any other review except Vinorium. Thanks.
