The Auswine Forum

Mishy - I had saliva dripping from my mouth reading that menu- looked delicous!!!
Will have to re-read the post now to concentrate on the wines.

Serge, please let me know if you do come across any wines 'that can seduce a virgin'

Sorry, I did mean you Brian. Thanks!

Torb - what are some good examples of Aussie Shiraz to match with Thai?
Cheers!

If you get the chance, call into Big Als for lunch - located in Newcastle CBD. A little off the track but worth it

Hi Anders, I lived in Oslo for a few years and quite often went across the border to Gothenburg to stock up on wine and beer. From what I recall the wines on offer were a little limited (could be different in Stockholm). I now live in Brussels and got my hands on some Wirra Wirra and have tried both...

I have recently begun to use this as well, calls from Belgium to oz work out to be 1.7EURO cents per minute to a land line, free if the reciever has downloaded the skype.
Definately beats the costs for STD calls.

Feel free to join in Andrew, the information you will recieve will certainly increase your wine knowledge. I too am new to this forum but have received much advice/general knowledge in a short span of time - just by taking the time to read others tasting notes. Brian has given alot of his time to me...

Nice tasting notes. I have yet to try the '96' but have tried a few from lesser vintages. Glad I also have a few 96's stored away - looking forward to them now

Thanks Brian, I will tread carefully and try a few before buying some for the cellar.

I have read some past posts which led me to the seppelt website as they appear to be one of the leaders. What...

I am on the search for some type of wine bag so that I can bring some French wine back from Europe in June. I was hoping to get hold of a 6 bottle bag that could also double up to carry a few bottles to dinner parties. I have searched around and seen a 'wine safe' platinum carry bag in America that ...

Another warning in a prvious thread (perhaps to your post, cannot remember) warned some tissue paper with acid could affect the bottles.
Living in Brussels I don't like my chance of finding out whether the paper is acid free - my French is dreadful!!!!

I read a past post from Adam that stated, "Dont wrap your bottles in cling wrap intending to protect the label...it removes a large portion of the gold embossing on labels when removed...grrrr....just found out the hard way." Newspaper does not sound like the best solution either. I can't imagine lo...

Could anbody provide me with some advice on preserving wine labels. I have re-read some old threads but would love to here some do's and don't so my wine labels stay intact. I have two libeherr wine fridges and both have alot of wine inside. Obviously the bottles are closely stacked, with bottles wi...
