It was a 911 wasn't it?

I had no idea where to post this here?........ Lights out in Wonderland is a book about excess and decadence. Written by booker prize winner DBC Pierre. http://www.waterstones.com/wat/images/nbd/m/978057/122/9780571228898.jpg The reason for posting this is that one of the characters within the book ...

It doesnt matter too much.

Just have some sparkling water and some palate cleansing food there anyway.

I've never had an issue going back to whites after reds etc.

It's all realtive to volume I think. Anything is better than nothing but I would buy anything under 250 capacity. My kitchener is fine but drop the bottles down from 280 to 100, turn the heating on and bingo, within a day, it jumps from 15 to 16. Nothing to worry about but something to keep in mind ...

thanks mike. pretty cool

Wow. I’m going to just sit back, grab some pop corn and keep watching this. But…..This all adds up perfectly. when is the last time someone listened to campell though? + seriously, far too much is put on the reviews these clowns write. = It's also not a terribly high volume shop

I'm confused. What is this rating out of 109 stuff?

Is it a joke? It is terribly confusing if it isn't

Admittedly it is a little dated now, and it does need another level slotted in between 1 and 2...somehow

You guys need to get on the Coded offline train.. choo choo Code 1 Offline - Undisputed champions. DRC, Grange, Latour etc. If you want to bring something above this, you’re dreaming. Code 2 Offline - Wines of high pedigree – Moss Wood, Cullen, La Grange, Giaconda, Mt Mary If you want ...

What sort of place?

The windsor is a $10 cab tops

How many restaurants are there at the Windsor? Anyone know? Gawd I should. But I have eaten there and there is no bloody way you could BYO. So it must be another. We tried to order a 76 grange once but they wouldn't let us . Something along the lines of "our sommelier suggests that this will be...

I'd head down the aromatic track in reds and whites
Moscato, marsanne, sangiovese, grenache, cabernet shiraz, and then some shiraz.
But I'll have money you end up liking the earlier stuff more


Something like that anyway.
The food needs fresh wines early, or you can get bogged down.

By the way. When choosing the wines. Dont go red nuts. Alba's does not suit it

What?

Yep, yep, absolutely.
It isn't always a taste thing.

If I'm thirsty its a beer.
If I'm run down it's a sweeter style Mojito

I don't see your question in there. Are you asking if people over rate wines when they are in good company? Of course. That's what it's all about. Go to a restaurant with a group on a night when everyone is tired, the food sucks. go when everyone is bouncing, then it's great. I still don't know your...

Ian, yeah it was a bit....a lot. To be honest it was just a jab. I never expected it to see the light of day. but it grew legs. The longer it stayed up the more I looked like a dick. But hey....this place will be a ton (hugely) better with out him. Now can someone post a new topic? Maybe Brian on so...

Dan, I have to admit that I haven't had that much luck with rose but I'll give your suggestion a go... Never give up!, Never surrender! Thanks Alex well maybe thats a clue, too sweet. try dominique portet 06 instead or..skip it, and try some grenache, or cab merlots just keep coming back and you wi...

start with a turkey flat rose and report back if you liked or didn't like it.
then move to a grenache, then....

just a thought

Hi I'm 23 and only in the last 6 months been introduced to pleasures of drinking wine. I'm very interested to understand the reason why so many wine drinkers I’ve talked to have a strong opinion against white? (Including a family friend who introduced me to wine in the first place) and readi...

Nice defending mate.
I have a straight bat.

what the hell is this post.
ha ha, laughed? laughed? I nearly farted.

If in doubt, read my first post. Do yourself a favor Gav and nuke this guy.

Sue, my bad. Make fun all you want, I'll have the last laugh- the increased demand for this NZ product will raise your prices even more and I'll do my share to make sure there is more NZ SB is shipped to USA Bit of a hit and run here, but gawd serge, you're such a wanker. And BTW, NZ meat absolutel...

Hi all, The big 3-0 is looming... From what I have seen, the 77 vintage was terrible, not just here, but abroad. What would be your picks if any, of 77s worth drinking now. Would the 77 Grange still be drinkable now? Thank you all in advance. Monghead Just go for the year of conception instead

Oh Smithy, and next time for a good marketing ploy.

Look up a crap note of one of your direct competitors and use that.
That way you look like a campaigner, and your opposition gets lots of bad exposure

8) Just what is a fair comment on a tasting note published on the net? The web seems to bring the worst out of some people... Cheers Smithy Yes and no. You know if you had of brought this comment up about someone else's wine then people may have answered the question properly instead of taking a sh...

Might be better as a winter tasting? Cheers Smithy No, so what are you saying mate, you have a 3 month window on +15's? (Trying real hard not to knock +15% mate) But there are not many beating the drum. If you really wanted this to be serious you wouldn't have posted it and made it look like a tast...

Sounds deadly.
Can you do an over 15.5% sparkling in the morning to get us tuned at least
