The Auswine Forum

Thanks Brian...Yep went there about 12-15 months ago and the glassware was OK but we did take and use our own....Will do again..

I would like input here all particularily on the french red front...Any thoughts?

Cheers

30 December 3.30pm! More than happy to share my winnings!

Not that I can afford to drink Grange, but I heard that from the 2004 vintage all Grange will be under screwcap.

Anyone else heard similar?

Hi Glen, Ric, Marion, Lynne, Brian, Andrea, Julie and myself had one of these compliments of Ric in March at Eschalot. If you search on the forum you will see that it was WOTN.

There maybe others that have slipped the memory and I am not sure my order is set in concrete.... 94 Mount Mary 96 Dom 93 Baron Pichon Longueville 88 Baron Pichon Longueville 98 St Peters 01 Masi Costasera - Amarone 91 Wynns Black Label 96 Classic Clare SS 95 Aberfeldy 98 Chateau Reynella BP Cab Sav...

Hi All, I know we have done this to death but after reading trails on this forum and an article by one particular winery about screwcaps, I really do start to wonder if we are better off putting up with the wines that are spoilt by cork taint and paying the extra for cork? I have quite a bit of wine...

Hi there, Look at this as a great alternative and offer better insulation properties than polystyrene http://www.aeromfg.com.au/

They do have lined panels....

I have nothing to do with this company btw!

Thanks for the notes Attila....I tried one last Sunday and it was enjoyable in the un seasonal Sydney Sunday heat. After having the 2002 tonight though, I have to agree, it lacks the complexity. As you say though, at $14 a bottle we aren't doing to bad!

Hi all, BACKGROUND I have a room that I have converted to a cellar. The way I store my wines is in numbered cartons and the numbers allow me to track what is in each box - I do have to remember to delete wines as they are taken from cellar for drinking though! I also have a drink now section that is...

Cork, Never seen a crown seal at Macs

Anyone tried this? Bought some from Macs Liquor today with the 30% off sale. Only paid about $13.20 bottle.

I will crack one on Sunday!

Regards

Finney (Craig)

LOL, The winner is clearly the Stanton & Killeen's!

Finney (Craig)

I agree with Ric here, we need larger sample sizes and well kept records before we can come to any conclusions here.

Finney (Craig)

Hi Ric, Great soo you have yet another wonderful pet surrounding you. I just have to share these pics as they are CUTE!

Drank one of these a few months ago, for such a difficult vintage, we found it to be a great wine and enjoyed it immensely. I would say buy and drink! I still have one to enjoy and it won't last long!

Hi there, 1994 Mount Mary Quintet Too tannic at present. Very oaky. Very good length. A “big” wine destined for great future. Perhaps. 88/100 Had this 4 weeks ago and interestingly enough found a substantially different wine, little tannin, balanced fruit and some oak. Absolutley sensati...

I have visited Eschalot at their new location, although a little over a week ago! Food was super as was the service. Rick, you are almost living there! Not that I blame you! 94 Mount Mary - In a absolute top condition and most enjoyable. Was super with the Duck! When are we doing Eschalot together w...

RB Does drink champers!

Good point about what style I like, defintaley in the creamy, yeasty spectrum. So where does this lead us? Anyone tried the Gosset NV about $70/bottle, does that fit the bill or can I do better?

Thanks in advance

Finney (Craig)

Hi List,

If you had to choose a Champagne/Sparkling on short notice to $100, what would you choose?

Thanks in advance

Sunday night at Dijon in Canberra with friends (Yes I do have a few!) : French Champers - Can't remember what it was but it was lovely! 2003 Houghton's Pemberton Chardonnay - Excellent, flinty, minerally, well balanced acid, fruit and French Oak. Went and bought a 6 pack on Monday. Will enjoying see...
