Thanks all. I live in Melbourne so temperature is pretty crazy. So I should be fine and not worry too much with those temperatures? I do have a digital high/low thermometer as well and that is what it reads 13-18. On some occasions when the weather reaches 40+ outside, I would check under there and ...

Hi all. I was wondering if you guy can help me with some suggestions for my wine underneath the house. It is at the moment stored in the centre of the house wrapped in a few layer of newspaper and sealed in polystyrene boxes, during winter it is about 13 degrees and summer it is about 18 degrees. Mo...

oh man. Finally have a chance to breath and reply to this post.

Thanks all for giving me your opinions. At this stage I'm looking at some cheaper alternatives as you've mentioned.
As for quality Asian beers, what did you have in mind Sparky or anyone else for that matter?

Hi all I'm setting up a Vietnamese restaurant in the Eastern suburb and to be honest I'm stuck as to what should be included. I know there must be Reds and Whites but I was wondering if people on this forum would give me their opinions as to what they like. FYI - The restaurant is not up scale, but ...

2 - Johnny Walker Blue Label
2 - 04 Grange

Must hide from wife hehe

humidity is between 80-90 percent which is way too high. Some of the labels are crapping themselves already. At this rate i might have to buy a better fridge.


But hawt dam. ^^^^^ that is one mouldy cellar. Would you like a lot of mould with your wine sir?

I just noticed on some of my bottles that there are mould growing on top of the corks.

The humidity seems to be too high in the cooler.

What should i do fellas?

Knox city target in Vic.

It was towards fincial year sale plus they were having another 50% off on top of that. They go quickly though hehe

Like the other times I picked up a Dome 24 bttls wine fridge for $50 at target. And today I was just browsing the local book store when I saw "1001 wines you must try before you die" by Houn Hooke for just $12. Now all I need is to find a Vintec unit for under $200. (when hell freezes over...

when in doubt. Just buy 98+ points wine.

HA Can someone tell these store owners that they are dreaming if they expect people to pay $60 for a bottle of 04 bin 389 or even $50 for the 05 vintage in this current economy. It's expected that ones should eat the label as well just to get ones money worth with that sort of price hike. HA end rant

Well I picked these up for $50 dirt cheap at target after all the discounts. best price performance ratio ever.

I have a Dome 24 bttl fridge that is black in colour and the glass is tinted.

Does any one know if the glass is uv light resistance?

It's currently sitting in the kitchen.

Well just ordered myself a dozen of the woodlands margaret cab/merlot based on the comments from this forum.

Hope you're all right or there gonna be head i tell you heeeeads

Ahh I see

Thankyou for you info.

Sorry in advance if my question seems a bit dumb.

In Oz we have Grange and HOG as the top shiraz, but is see the Glaetzer's Amon RA getting really good marks from a lot of people .

So my question is would you or can you compare the AmonRA to the Grange and HOG?

in case i miss any points here but is the dome unit an energy sucker? Because choice had them rating at 600kwper year.

Never thought BWS were so cheap. Their prices are always higher than most places. I have to keep a look out on. Also I have been noticing that any wine that get a good review or win any trophies then it will automatically go up in prices because every tom dick and harry and including me will rush ou...

Yes I can agree with you on the Balnaves and Majella which i wish i could've discover earlier. Also Saltrams prices have been nice and low with Dan Murphys discounts.

They bloody keep upping the prices. I really enjoy the Bin 389 and the John Riddoch range which i drink on special occasions but the price is getting out of hand. I mean freakin $50 for 04 389 and $46 for 05 389 and $70 for 05 JR not to mention $80 for 04 St Henri. Might have to search for a new fav...

any thoughts on the 05 Tally?

i really should say if you have $500 to buy some wine to cellar.

What you you guys buy if your budget was only $500 for the rest of the year?

There are many others, but I only know about these wine because of the reviews I have read, so the choices are quite limited.


Any input is welcome

I bought two dome fridges the other day for about $95 each from the local target. At the moment they are $109 (When i bought them there was 15% off store wide) as a clearance item. But they are now labeled "wine coolers" but are the same units just a different colour (silver now not black...

thankyou i will have a try.

ok maybe not the 98 but just the bin389 style.

Hi fellas

Can you guys recommend me something that's similar to the 98 Bin389 but cheaper?

^^^

hehehe. Magnum force.

What is a DINK?


Hehehe, like Graeme and Ratcatcher said, I'm kinda similar too. While I'm young with no mortgage yet I'll try and get my grubby hands on some now before they start popping out if you know what i mean hehehe
