I opened a Yalumba "Y" series Viognier to watch the cricket highlights. Hope you all had a nice bottle of wine too as England crumbled. Not too worry, I am going to stock up as we win the next 4!!!

My first visit to the Greenock Creek Cellar door. Couldn't swing a cat in there. But what a great little setup.
Tried the 05 Roennfeldt Rd Shiraz. Very impressive indeed. A little out of my price bracket.
Very Tempting!, but the plastic was looking a little worse for wear by that stage.

FWIW…. the 2012 Pinot is definitely worth a look. I’ve only tried it from barrel (last xmas) but it was a knock out even then.
