lay them on their side?

put a whole bunch of extra masking take across the top of the box before flipping it up?

put them in new cases (i.e. go to Dan's or somewhere and ask for some boxes, then pick out the stronger ones)

I'm guessing it's a bit trickier than this, but the French AOC system?

Ric,

make a complaint - the best thing is, the telco/isp has to pay the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman to investigate it!

JWR

oops, kamberra is owned by BRL Hardy. But it is kind of a standalone operation, just as say Wynns is.

Pialligo Winery in Canberra?

or

Kamberra Wines in Canberra?

Neither could be more than 6-7 kms?

Thanks to everyone who came to the chat tonight, and thanks in advance to anyone who posts a tasting note in the following days. It was great to see people taking the time to find and taste this wine, giving us an Australia-wide perspective on a single wine. My own view: Nice medium purple colour, n...

Armstrong Vineyards (not open but give them a call) in the grampians. Tony Royal produces one wine, a shiraz, which i really like.

Seppelt Great Western

Best's

Dalwhinnie

Peltier cooled, that's awesome! Thanks for the info Belinda

Certainly not what I was expecting in the Target catalogue, but a 24 bottle 'wine fridge' for $249.00. It talks about adjustable temperature, but not about vibration or humidity, but it would be interesting to check it out ...

TORB, It certainly is interesting. The thing that has amazed me is where: 1. someone has tasted a wine and really liked it. they have the chance to buy some in good quantity at a good price, but hold off to have their view 'confirmed' by Parker. OR 2. someone reads a detailed TN posted to the forum,...

if this is really the 2001 (not the 2000), hooray, and it proves petaluma's consistency!

Murray, That's a good call on the prices. As an interesting side, the consistent producers in tassie all seem to have decided that $60+ is now the standard asking price for their wines, after the stellar 2000 vintage (my faves from this year - 1 panorama, 2 no regrets, 3 freycinet. my faves from 200...

RB,

What is your view on the future for the '02 shotfire ridge shiraz? i have a bottle here to try but could take a while to get around to it

JWR

biaised because it was what was on the table tonight

giaconda chardonnay - that picture on the label, the text, the weight of the bottle, and the capsule, all fill me with a real sense that the wine is going to be special even before i open it

JWR

DAMN, it's $56 for the clonakilla shiraz viognier this year not $59, sorry guys

radioactiveman, this is a complex question, and a damn good one i'm not sure if its the winery you are talking about radioactiveman, but the clonakilla mailer arrived today, with the shiraz viognier at $59/pb there are two reasons why i will still buy this wine at this price, despite the fact it has...

never tried but i am pretty sure it's from kym tolley at penley estate in coonawarra

i am not sure whether it is estate-grown fruit or not

kym is a very nice chap and I like a lot of his wines

JWR

ok ... craiglee shiraz 1999 - lovely 'elegant' wine, i'd give it another 2-3 years but it's lovely now, very moorish craiglee cab sav 1999 - good, well made wine, but not special pipers brook vineyard riesling 1998 - great, my last bottle, showing a nice light golding, drunk far too soon ferycinet r...

I think I know which shop you are talking about, radioactiveman(tm) - 1997 Great Western Shiraz for $29.99 per bottle at the moment, if it's the same one

I have seen a bucketload of the 97 John Riddoch and Michael hanging around - can't even sell the stuff at $49!

Gavin

I'd support that with my wallet - good on em.
