Cheers Ed

Hey Mate.

The 03 St Peters was stored in climate controlled conditions since release.
This was part of about 50 bottles I had in this auction.

Cheers Con.

6 pack of Wynn’s Black Label for $171.

I’ve had the 1945 Grandfather 4 or 5 times, last time maybe 10 years ago.
Very enjoyable and variable, it’s a sweet Tawny not very complex and the spirit pokes out a bit.

Not worth the asking price but a great 80th next year.

Cheers Con

Hi All. Been off the grid for while, drinking very little. Offloaded about 30 dozen bottles. Yesterday I cooked 50 day aged T Bone over charcoal, also made a few dips and my mums potato salad. Enjoyed a couple of glasses of 1979 Lakes Folly Dry Red. Still very much alive but well into tertiary stage...

Haven’t seen it but sounds very interesting.

I love drinking Australian wine history so would love learn more about it.

Cheers Con.

Christmas Day was the usual lamb and chicken Gyro with a 1996 Chateau Reynell Basket Press Shiraz. A few days before Christmas we had a neighbourhood street party and opened the following. Poured myself a decent glass and passed it along. Started with 2014 Produttori del Barbaresco then 1980 Lake’s ...

Here’s another one, love the quote.

Cheers Con.

Here’s a couple of adds I found in an old magazine.

Cheers Con.

Who’s the clown at the back?

Cheers Con.

6 X 2020 Best’s Bin 0 Shiraz at around $73 each.

Craig, BP at $90 I’ll take as much as they’ll give me.

Cheers Con.

The usual prep, quick double decant to get rid off the sediment, leave bottle open to breath.

Looking forward to this.

Cheers Con.

Opening the 54 this Saturday with the Auswine group.

Love the price.

Cheers Con.

I would have seriously considered making the trip for this but I’m going to the Yarra Valley on the 14th. Going to Wantirna Estate open day to pick up my order, lunch and few other wineries, I think Mount Mary might be open too. Haven’t been to Adelaide for few years, might have to organise trip ver...

Wish I was in Adelaide

Cheers Con.

6 x 2015 Tahbilk 1927 Vines Marsanne 6 X Bests 2019 Sparkling Shiraz (Xmas drinking being planned) Nice Roscoe. I’m nearly set for Christmas. My wife got 4 bottles of Taittinger Brute Reserve for $30 each. Just need a couple bottles of Sparkling Shiraz. Planning a whole lamb on a spit. Cheers Con.

Cheers Craig

I’ll put Malcolm and your name on these .
I feel a special Wynn’s event coming soon.

Cheers Con.

I’ve got 1957 Claret somewhere the mess I call a cellar now.

The 60 was a recent purchase from Cellarit with a 1997 Best’s TFS.

Cheers Con.

Few more.

Few more.

A few more.

Cheers Con.

A few pics.

Yes an amazing Muscat.

Yeah I’m assuming this might be the first release. I’m pretty sure the other bottles don’t have a release date on the label just series three.

Cheers Con.

Like this one.

I’ve got 3 or 4 of these but the label is different to this one.

Cheers Con.

Like these.

Hi Sam and Guys. I recently picked up 3 months of auction buys with some very interesting wine. Some labels and vintages I’ve never seen before. Most of us usually throw away most empty bottles so label and bottle gone. I thought how good it would be to have some kind of a wine library for Australia...

I think Melbourne group need to arrange a weekend to the Swan Valley, Con. Really liked the cellar doors at Talijancich and there seem to be a few others offering Rare fortifieds. Please let me know if this happens - if I am free I'd be happy to assist! A few days in the Swan Valley sounds great, I...

Ordered a few more from Talijancich Wines. 3 X Julian James Rare Pedro 1978 Solero Blend No. 3. 6 X Muscat 1983 Solero Blend No. 1 - NEW RELEASE. This below is from the winery’ website. The Gordo Blanco Muscat variety is recognised as one of the oldest grape varieties in the world and is known for p...

The only mailing list I’m still on is Wantirna Estate. I received mine yesterday in in the mail with a note that my email bounced back. Jumped on their website ordered 4 X Amelia Cabernet and 2 X Hannah Cab Franc Merlot. Jumped on again today to get 3 each of the Pinot and Chardonnay, the Amelia and...

Few oldies from auction tonight. 1 X 1971 Chateau Reynella Cabernet Sauvignon. 1 X 1981 Craglee Hermitage. 1 X 1980 Lake’s Folly Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum. 1 X 1985 Lake’s Folly Cabernet Sauvignon. 1 X 1984 Lake’s Folly Chardonnay. 3 X 1998 Mount Mary Chardonnay. 3 X 1999 Mount Mary Chardonnay. 1 X ...

Very nice Craig. Good bottles of older vintages are getting very hard find. On the Best’s website they have got back vintages of TFS magnums on average for $900. Never had old Aussie legend like the 55 Michael. We did discuss the idea of group buying a featured wine like the 55, Peppermint Patty and...
