The Auswine Forum

Great thx all.

Hi I’m looking for recommendations for a private guide when I’m in France in Feb. Also how hard is it to get a visit into the big name wineries? Cost? Grateful for any suggestions. Don’t mind paying a bit more for a great experience. All the same I’m happy to go to some not so big names if the wines...

I love Gamay as an easy drinking mid-week type of wine. I just had a look what would be available at Uncle Dan's for example, because I suspect a lot of what I drink in France for €8-15 is probably disproportionately more expensive in Aus. Sadly, not a wide range (only 28 wines). From that some sug...

Thanks all. V much appreciated. I will explore all recommendations and regions.

Keep they coming - will def try those two. Thx

Having found a new appreciation for lighter reds I was hoping a few if you could recommend some inexpensive gamay’s. Ie good midweek value.

Cheers

48 x Lou Miranda Shiraz 2018 - $15 - unbeatable!

Hi I thought I would start a thread for any notable cheapies. Managed to find some highly drinkable ‘The Farm’ (Watershed) which is a Merlot / Cab Franc blend. Impressed me for $5 a bottle with a bit of air time. Definitely cheap and definitely passable. *No affiliation with any groups or retailers ...

Has anyone tried the FU shiraz and are they any good ie worth $300?

Brown Hill Ivanhoe $24 - the best value cab in the region.

Was v impressed with lenton brae's cm

Vasse Felix Shiraz 2012

$40 - you must be joking...insipid.

Let me know how the 2012 Gomersals go Ian...mightily impressed with the '10.

Cheers

Thank you Allan for recommending Ashbrook. A few days in MR and it was a highlight - well priced and very good wines. 2011 cab merlot v good...rich full bodied, dark cherries and bitter choc. Grabbed some riesling too! Lenton Brae - these guys are seriously contending for the best Chardonnay in the ...

There's a beaut b&b next door to Rockfords which is cottage style, unfortunately I can't remember the name.

Ferment Asian for dinner in Tanunda is excellent.

I would recommend Gomersal Wines for their 2010 reserve shiraz. Decanter gave it a glowing accolade and only $25!

Brown Hill for best value imo. Great, concentrated wines sub $20.

Yelland & Papps Devote Shiraz 2012
Lovely mulberry and cassis intermingled with meaty, bacon fat notes. It's powerful, long and very approachable now.

Amazing value at $33 - highly recommended!!

After cooking a 2008 Metala White Label Shiraz Cabernet in the car while camping last week, I thought I'd try another one this weekend but while camping I also tried a Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy. Both tasted okay to start with but then I found both to be way to alcoholic. Each to their own but I don...

I have quite a few 11's left. Certainly a big whack of white pepper with these wines. Interestingly the wine maker suggests the 11's are 'drink now' propositions. Not sure about the 12 and 13.

Woodlands 2012 Cabernet Franc Merlot. Tried it the other week and was very impressed, and ordered a case, first one on the block tonight. Broader profile than the normal Cab Merlot....interesting. Would like to see this with 5+ years bottle age on it. Might bury some in the cellar. Hacker it's a cr...

I like this style of thread. Beats the weekly IMO. And the Gomersal is a ripper!

I had to read that twice. For a moment I thought the table was booked under 'geriatrics'!

Have fun.

What else but another of my wine of the yr.
Gomersal 2010 Shiraz

Dark bitter chocolate, coconut rough, mint. A touch of liquorice. It's wonderfully balanced and in check.
Superb wine.

Are there any decent barolo's available in aus sub $50?

2012 Laughing Jack Shiraz - liquorice, blackcurrants and a touch of date.
Full bodied goodness - pretty good for $20!

If you can stretch to $25, the 2010 Gomersal Reserve Shiraz is incredible value that with a bit of air drinks really well now but will cellar (and improve) for 10+ years no worries at all. Gomersal's 2010 Shiraz is my QPR wine of the year thus far. Stunning stuff and Decanter thought so as well. Fo...
