The Auswine Forum

Click on 'my cellar' Then click 'summarise by' and choose the bottom dropdown choice offered 'wine' Thanks for that too. I'd wondered this and it was hidden in front of me. I exported a CSV and used Excel :lol: Now with percentages (we don't have many wines, these are the only double diget bottles ...

Another vote for Mt Edelstone here, it's the nicest wine I've enjoyed. I picked up two 2010's for our anniversary, had one young and the other is waiting for our 20th. The price jumped a few years ago but it's still a lot cheaper than Grange.

Yup, between reading a thread and posting, it dropped out

Yes, it was definately an informercial!
Our most common wines are:

Rockford
- Rifle Range
- Moppa Springs
- Local Growers Semillon
- Basket Press Shiraz
Henschke Keyneton Euphonium
Penfolds Bin 389

I’d pass on both. I think they’ll have both seen better days unless they’ve been perfectly stored… and even then I wouldn’t be confident. They've been cellared in a wine storage place so temp controlled. I do expect the St Henri to be past it and yes, as Craig and others have said, the cork will be...

Hi, it's been many bottles between posts and it's great to see the forum's alive and kicking. I have an opportunity to buy some wines from a neighbour (in excellent condition as I think cellared from purchase): 1995 Penfolds St Henri This vintage piqued my interest as it's when I started working, (s...

If you do, please let us know

Yes, the 2012 Riesling museum release was offered for tasting. It's a wonderful drop, full of favour. Ah, good stuff. I wish I was a local :( Just finishing up my 04's and 05's. Their Eden Valley riesling is great at the 15 year mark. Oh nice. What are they like at that point? How have they develop...

Did you get a chance to taste the museum release Riesling (I don't know that they'd offer tastings of it? If so, how was it?

It’s hard for us in Australia to comprehend the daily numbers of cases and deaths. We are pretty lucky, Australia is an island and for long periods no-one was allowed in or out. Agreed, people now understand what being girt by sea means. Hopefully the Syd situation is reigned in. Melb went ballisti...

Oliver's Taranga Vineyards Hentley Farm We started on a bit of a Grenache search and quite like Oliver's Taranga (the Corina Cab too) but we haven't had much. Whenever I go to join their wine club the Grenache is unavailable :( We discovered Hentley Farm's Grenache and thought it was neat until one...

That's a shame. I had notification that our Oct order is on the way

How much is the dry country? im a stonewaller but cant see it online Try calling them. Early on they made it available to SW over the phone as the cellar door was closed but as they've been open, this may no longer be offered? They had a six bottle limit (late May). We enjoyed one and shall give th...

Has anyone been watching [url=https://thewineshow.com/uk/twsathome/]The Wine Show @ Home[/url]?

Thanks for sharing. I have some Bin 389 and a Mount Edelstone and Cyril Henschke of the 2010 stashed away for our anniversaries so it's interesting to see where they're at. We opened a Rockford Rifle Range on the weekend and really enjoyed it. I think we're starting to get a picture of developing wi...

Thanks for the thoughts I think this is really good each year....a bit of residual which I think really adds to the wine...Definitely in my top 10 AU rieslings.. Gee, great to hear. I picked up a 2012 but shall pick up a recent vintage too Any thoughts on the Drumborg's in general? What are they? Se...

Had the 13 Cirillo 1850 Grenache on the weekend. Good juice, varietal and built to last. Oh great. Any idea if you can tell if there's development? It's under screw so might be slow? I picked up a '13 to try and then grabbed a '10 as an anniversary wine to share with friends next weekend. We're loo...

Any chance people have any thoughts on these wines? Best's Great Western Shiraz Bin No 1 Cirillo Grenache 1850's Old Vine Cirillo Grenache The Vincent Seppelt Riesling Drumborg Vineyard I think I've seen people rate Best's a bit so I saw some and grabbed something. I had heard that the original Rock...

Some recent acquisitions. Trying a few; 2012 Best's Great Western Shiraz Bin No 1 * 2010 Cirillo Grenache 1850's Old Vine * 2013 Cirillo Grenache 1850's Old Vine * 2018 Cirillo Grenache The Vincent 2017 Cirillo Grenache The Vincent 2016 Cirillo Grenache The Vincent 2013 Louis Latour Mâcon-Villages C...

. I'm glad you have pulled back from the abyss. Thanks, yeah, that could could actually by several other very good wines giving multiple sittings and enjoyment for different reasons. Funnily enough, I picked up a 2010 Cirillo 1850 Ancestor Vine Grenache last night which we've never had but had been...

and if you're a member it drops down to A$190. Yes, and I can get a further 5% but that's still a lot of money and would be the most expensive bottle I'd have bought but a long way and I'm not convinced I would enjoy it over the Mt Edelstone of the same vintage that we still have. If someone wants ...

I'm going ask a silly question, would it be silly to find one from the local these days? It's our anniversary, that's the only reason I could possibly use to justify an acquisition...

was a really good drop. Fruity and dry good tannin structure.

Well, I wasn't expecting to see any of this but I've just ordered some so we're looking forward to cracking one with the FIL when they can visit now that things are easing in QLD.

Conservatives don't think much further than their noses, however, for Dutton that might be a far view :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I thought his misguided criticism of the NSW Premier, was a bit hypocritical. It makes me wonder how many he infected. My wife sat in on a meeting with her principal and then th...

I keep intending on buying some but haven't yet

Has any had any of the Hentley Farm wines? We had a 2018 The Marl Grenache and are keen on trying it again, we quite enjoyed it. Any ideas on some of their other wines?

We've also come to be fans of Oliver's Taranga Small Batch Grenache fans. Anyone else?

Moving on from the hand sanitiser, last night we cracked a 2015 Rockford Eden Valley Riesling . It was still fresh (under screw) so a while to go. It went well with the microwave bumpkin and bacon risotto :D. I've been slowly keeping a bottle per vintage to see how they go over time. I'll probably p...

Sam, it's interesting to hear from the inside. I hope it goes well and yes, strange times.

I have a bottle of 2019 Hand Sanitiser - jammy, too much length with notes of Aloe Vera and a hint of alcohol. Hopefully it is not over the hill yet

Wait a few weeks and then pick up some cheaper shares?
