Thanks all - think I’ve found a relatively new 312 bottle one second hand so will take that advice.

You seem to be able to get it for $2,600.

Bump. Hoping to get some recent experiences/suggestions on fridges. Am looking for ~200 bottle capacity for longer term cellaring. Nothing fancy - single zone and not fussed about aesthetics. Is Leibherr still the best option when factoring in quality and price? They make a pretty functional looking...

Melbourne, arrived yesterday.

I asked in the other thread but perhaps this is a better place...Anyone have any insights in the quality of this vintage in Clare?

That time of year again....anyone with insights into the 2018 Clare vintage?

Klopp pinot from Mornington probably the most appropriate.

Can anyone shed some additional light on the Pressings? I've only been on the mailer a few years but don't recall them offering this before?

No Cabernet or Cabernet Malbec for me in the end. Bit of everything else though. I love their straight Malbec so pleased to get a few bottles of that.

What did you order?

Order something of everything - all 6 varieties. They like that

Always do, I'm more interested in the blends to be honest.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some inspiration for some new week night quaffers at around the $25 and below mark. As much as I love Chalambar, looking to broaden my horizons a bit and explore some new wines/grapes/styles.

I couldn't find a similar thread but apologies if one exists.

Cheers.

Red crayon, VIC, just got charged. Don't think I got everything I asked for (but I had ordered a case of everything). Think I have a fair bit coming though...

Red crayon, no charge...must be going state by state

Not a great sign.....particularly for those of us just starting out on the list.

Got for under 30 at CD.
Pretty darn good VFM i reckon

You can generally pick it up for around $20 online etc. I agree, fantastic value.

Cheers. Seemed such an outlandish score at the time, i was interested to know what it was like

Out of interest - is this the wine Halliday awarded 99?

3 each 2014 Blue Poles Reserve Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Jumped aboard the Blue Poles train after reading very interesting things from various sources (including here).

6 each of the 2011 Allouran and Shiraz.

FWIW, Scopri is an absolutely cracking venue.

6 x Seppelt Drumborg Pinot Noir 2013...Slightly unknown region for Pinot (at least for me) so Interested to try it

My personal chrissie present consisted of

6 x St Henri 2012
6 x Seppelt Chalambar 2013
6 x Seppelt Original sparkling shiraz.

6 x Hoddle Creek Wickham Road 2015 Pinot Noir
2 x Yarraloch Stephanie's Dream Pinot Noir 2013

This probably isn't worthy of a seperate thread so I'll post in there.

For those of you who have utilised the TWE staff account thingo - is there anything particularly worthwhile? Alot of the prices I've seen floating around are about the same as most retailers...

Not quite on point but I have been getting into a bit of Aglianco del Vulture lately. Really interesting stuff and I would recommend it for those of you that like red on the more intense end of the spectrum.

6 x 2014 Knappstein Ackland Reisling
3 x 1997 Petaluma Cabernet Merlot

Fair point. The 2013 - reviews seem very promising.
