Westend 3 Bridges 2004 Durif

Crimson with a purple edge, this little beauty jumps out of the glass and is down the hatch before you really know what’s going on! Rich with blood plums and forest berries, the nose invites you to pour another, while the silky tannins, soft vanillas and dark chocolate palate floods your sens...

Well picked Davo. Just shaking apples. But didn't some strange ones fall down!

White wine with red meat

I am interested in matching a white wine to roast rack of lamb. Previously I have had considerable success with Nicholson River Semillon (the lanolin evident in the palate makes the match) and was wondering if any one had other successful experiences they might care to share.

While twenty years is a good time to cellar these wines(and I have even heard forty being suggested!), I personally have never managed to age them past 15 years without succumbing to their irresistable lure! Oh, how people cringe as their glassware is stained bright purple! For me, the Malbec is a p...

Hail and well met! My old 486DX2 wasn't quite up to this level of sophistication. But there's nothing like a new PC and a 25 year old LB to bring me out of the wilderness. I did come accross an earlier vintage of this wine at J** M****y's (Hi, Gavin!) a few years back. The price was less than a doll...
