Good luck rocking up to your local bottle-O and walking away with Noon Eclipse. If you do, it'll cost you a penny ot two more than $30.

Some of the wines that have been selected by my southern brothers & sisters are sometimes hard to get ie winery mailing lists that you have to wait years to get on.

I joined WineFanatic today and have been browsing the postings & piccies.

Hang in with the Oz. 2002 looks like a cracker in some areas.

All wines mentioned were poster's top 10. I would like to have put in a few more. Some were by other readers.

Always in hindsight I come up with others and "How could I have forgotten that wine" springs to mind. I could also have added my 6 litre 1975 Redman Imperial that was consumed with some help in about 1990.

Perhaps we could keep (dare I say) an RPj diary with scores for the entire year!!!!
