January 2026 Purchases

[mjs]

Where did 2025 go, but here we are, already half way through January!

12 x 2021 Wynns BL Cabernet for cheap from Bert.

Interestingly, the bottles are under cork! Might be from stock destined for offshore, but never made it

[phillisc]

Yes I thought about this one too Malcolm...but already have enough.
Yes interesting that TWE still flirting with a $25 red that they think will have traction in global markets...that's the space for cork, not here in Australia.

12 2021 Majella Cabernet

6 x Pewsey Vale 2025 Eden Valley Riesling. Thanks for reminding me of this fabulous rizza. Louisa Rose is the riesling queen IMO. I do like the florals in Eden Valley rieslings

Yes indeed...think through a Dan's or BWS clearance I picked up 2-3 dozen of the ’21. It's a brilliant wine. Guess you and I are doing our best to soak up the BL lake out there

Amazing talent, PV Rizza our favourite. Yes there are more serious versions but as you mentioned the florals are just so special. I need to buy more contours and 1961 block

Same here ... with a $100 voucher came in at $15 per bottle delivered. Happy days!

Also, a mixed dozen of the current Sami Odi release.

Agree about the Pewsey Riesling - drink heaps and is a good 'house white' in that its a great drink but with a track record.
Having said that, I needed to redeem a voucher, so ordered;

6 x 2025 Leonay Riesling
6 x 2025 Buring EV Riesling

then a Best's newsletter landed - couldn't resist...

18 x 2025 Bests Great Westen Riesling - doubt whether you'd get a better Riesling for under $30.

Are you aware Riesling is a white wine?

You need to get some new material ...

From auction. 4 x Yalumba Galway Port. Blast from the past. Label sold to Wolf Blass decades ago and trashed. These old bottles are a treasure
