Thanks Guys Flying Malaysian Airlines Paris (CDG) to KL to ADL. Might get cut some slack with excess baggage due to travelling with infant, but I think we checked five items on the way here! Temperature control is definitely my concern with shipping. I'm actually in Lyon at present, so might drop i...

Whoa, postage is going to be a real killer for ya, my best advice is to have them sent via SEA MAIL (12 weeks) you can also insure the wines if you wish to, Sea Mail is also the cheapest method available but they do have restrictions on weight & every country can be different so keep it in mind,...

Well I can say I have one of the best Wine fridges out there, MY GARAGE lol, nice & cool down there even in summer, best place to store some of my wine

Same here, to me it's like an old tradition & one that should be maintained, just my opinion

It's amazing to think even the top premium wines are being made with a screw-top, I wonder if this will eventually replace the cork???
Anyone know?

Dont know if this one has been posted, anyway I thought it was an interesting read, check out the link:

Im looking forward to trying the 2003 Almaviva (Baron Philippe de Rothschild & Concha y Toro) which is on the way looks like an interesting blend :

Assemblage
Cabernet Sauvignon: 73%
Carmenère: 24%
Cabernet Franc: 3%

Barrel Aging
18 Months, new French oak.

Well I've always purchased the cheap stuff, so if I had $1500.00 to spend I would buy some fine wine like:
Grant Burge Meshach
Penfolds 707 & RWT
Henschke Hill of Grace
& perhaps a bottle of Grange

2002 Penfolds bin 389 (Cab sav/Shiraz) a very nice quaffer

Thanks for that link great read.

It's a bit grim that retailers pay a higher wholesale price than they can buy the goods for at Dan Murphy's. One guy paid $34 wholesale for something he could by over the counter at DM's for $31. The independents need to create a union to increase their bargaining power. the most frightening aspect...

Carmenere is great, there one I will be trying when my wife gets back from Chile Carmin de Peumo (Concha y Toro) looking forward to it
