Make sure these get plenty of decant time if you are drinking now. The merlot maybe ok though.

Seppelt wines are on special in DM.
2005 Seppelt Chalamber Shiraz x2
2006 Seppelt Moyston cab sau x1

Fevre 2011 Chablis for me

1 x 1991 Wynns Centenary
2 x 1994 Wynns John Riddoch (oldest lads birth year)

Took a plunge at auction. They have great fill levels and look like they have been looked after. I paid a bit more than I wanted for the Centenary but it is just that good. I'd love to know a current wine that will be that good in 20 years time that you don't need to sell a kidney for!

Well done Ian, a couple of great pickups there. My oldest lads birth year also. Has a 6 pack of JR tucked away and a couple of magnums
Have not had a 94 JR for a while, but so hope its better than the 94 BL that I sent off to sparky a little while back.

I am starting to buy the 90s JRs at auction with the current releases being so expensive, wines with 20 years on them at half the current release don't seem so bad.

Yes I have 4 or so Centenary left out of a dozen, paid $28 on release. Should have brought much much more.
In terms of a wine that I wished I had brought more of that is still an absolute cracker was...a Pennies 86 Bin 28. $90 a case on release.

As insane as it sounds, I think 2010 LC Metala will do 20 years. I have put a couple of cases away
If Gav is still running this place in 2033, I will post a tasting note.

Cheers

1 x 2007 Fonseca Porto Vintage (375ml)

Another case of 2010 Sons of Eden Remus shiraz (a really fantastic wine) and a ton of 2009 Sauternes from the recent Langtons auction.

12x Chateau de la Gardine, (Chateauneuf-du-pape) 2009

3 Lovedale 2007 Semillons.

An auction purchase.. 1995 Domaine Bart Clos de Beze burgundy, a Ross Duke import I would guess. Something to bring along to a future Sydney pinot offline.

6 x Evans and Tate 2007 Cab Merlot.
6 x West Cape Howe 2011 Cab Merlot (A bit of hype over this wine - will see what the fuss is all about).

Needed to balance the fridge - too much SA shiraz atm.

12x Seppelt Chalambar 2010, $14.50/btl delivered.
6 x Seppelt Drumborg Pinot Noir 2012, $23/btl delivered.

Supermarket Chain Special 2010 Church Rd Reserve Syrah for $23

1 x Chateau Cantemerle 2009 $79

by gosh that added up quickly $$$ wise

I got some cheapies as well but I'd have to go look in the fridge to remember what they are. Just some mixed stuff for when we don't want to blow a pricey bottle.

6 x Domaine Michel Gros Chambolle Musigny 2008
6 x Domaine Michel Gros Vosne Romanee 2008

Backing up the truck on imports before the AUD drops any further.

These are especially awesome - good luck keeping your hands off them!

Thanks for the reminer Shauno. Gavin's helping me with a case of the '12 Shiraz now and a case of the '12 cab when its in stock. What a stunning vintage 2012 is turning out to be in SA. I'm saving up for all the '12 reds that will be released over the next year or 3. Even wines at the cheaper end where I'm forced to inhabit should be good generally as you can't make bad wines from great fruit. YUM.
