Not. Only offered singles. Rare as. To me anyway.

nice choices there Mike.

With the 2014 Semillon - are they like a futures selection or you've actually got your hands on them already?

[Mike Hawkins]

CK, All of them are in my cellar.... Sleeping. The hype over 2014 (justified based on the semillons I've tasted) means they are racing out the door.

[Chuck]

After running out of space in the cellar long ago with boxes stacked up everywhere still could not stop the habit:

12 x Chalmers 2012 Arturo Heathcote Malbec
12 x Our tennis club bottling of a 2013 Coonwarra Cabernet that's quite nice. Some furry tannins but some lovely fruit underneath that should come together in a year or 2.

And duty free coming home from NZ:

1 x Oban 14 YO single malt whisky
1 x Tallisker Dark Cloud SMW

After opening my first bottle from my dozen of 2012 Mt Ida last night I bought another dozen immediately.. Fantastic wine at a ridiculous price at the moment - definitely the best $20 wine I have tasted...

6 x 2011 Rockford Basket Press

Fwiw I opened one last Thursday, see how it's faring etc.
Obviously drank young, but enjoyed it.
Only managed to drink half the bottle though, and left the re-corked bottle out (cool conditions) until Sat night.
By which time it showed very nicely indeed.

[Rossco]

Some for the cellar: 6 * 2012 Grant Burge filsell shiraz
