that's not all, we'll also throw in the Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon
2001, the Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2001, the Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir 2001, the Cellar Reserve Grenache 2002, the Eden Valley Riesling 2003, the Bin 2000A Chardonnay 2000, and of course the Penfolds Yattarna 2001. Now that's a line
up!

Yes, I am.
I am interested in 2001 RWT so a good opportunity to taste it along with all the others

I am going this year seeing it is back at the old location, last year it was at Manly so I gave it a miss.
They are trying to get from Penfolds copies of the new release of
Rewards of Patience [due out 1st May]to give out at the door [free]as they did when the previous issue was released.
Tried to get the prices on the wines being tasted but they are still awaiting from Penfolds. I also am interested in the 2001 RWT.

Regards,
Ron.

Well you wouldn't want to pay for the thing would you? It's never up to date.

Ah well,

Lucky bastards looks like a great tasting. Pay attention to the 2002 Cellar Door Grenache, I tried it a while back and thought it an outstanding example of Grenache.
