The Auswine Forum

1st one looks to me like Arlwood, the second could be Will's Domain. The third is Palandri.

Thanks Jezza, happy to be put straight. The original question:

MM wrote:I was quite sure that I read somewhere that white wines also contain anti-oxidants. Am I correct or not?

You'd have to say yes. Yes?

Ascorbic acid is a powerfull antioxidant and is often added to white wines from warmer regions when the fruit is lacking natural acidity. Sulphur dioxide, as well as being a prservative, acts as an antioxident and is almost always in white wines to some degree, especially those fermented or aged in ...

By Volume: Dutschke Rockford Torbreck Ginger built a new spreadsheet today so now I don't have to guess. Result: Rockford Dutschke Jim Barry Mitchelton Torbreck Noon I wasn't too far off. Michel's right, Dutschke wines haven't been around long, but we do buy a lot of wine from Wayne and our cellar ...

By Volume:

Dutschke
Rockford
Torbreck

By value: Probably a flip but it's hard to know having never sold a bottle.

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.

I voted 'other' as I have a sense of loyalty to another forum. I still enjoy reading here but I kind of feel that it's inappropriate to post.

They all look like Fiona after 15 beers.

Man, that just about did my head in trying follow some of those arguements and attempting to fathom from which guest they came.

I was a bit underwhelmed by this wine. Ginger had tasted it months earlier from the barrel and raved so highly that I guess I expected more. Had an '03 Wild Bunch last night and thought it was probably a better wine from a technical standpoint that the '02, but it had lost a bit of magic.

Agree with Kris, it's a bit light weight these days, there are fewer price brackets, fewer wines in each and no varietal grouping. Used to look forward to it when it was a 'once a year' thing.

Cullen. I'd prefer to cuddle Vanya at night than Rocky O'Callahan.

My understanding is that everyone who was on the mailing list two years ago automatically became a 'Stone Waller' and recieved their key-ring and number and all was good with the world. I thought that subsequent new mail-list custermers became SW's by default. Is that not the case? Any mail-list ppl...

Agree. A good bloke too.

Not sure how, or if, this will affect pricing. Interesting though. Sad pack of sheep those Sepos.

I'm off to 'The Raven' in Deep Cove, Nth Van this evening. 22 B.C. micros on tap! Salivating at the thought.

Lots of Canadian craft brewery beers at the Great Canadian Beer Festival. Very high standard. Wines have been a little disappointing as I'm a bit of a closet red bigot and Vancouver Island just doesn't get warm enough for long enough in the summer. Better luck next week in the Okanagan. As an aside,...

I have a theory that Australian red wines are called for being sweet when in reality, they're just clean. Nothing like bret/TCA/VA to kill what little ripe fruit character that may have been there. When it comes to food and drink in general, I was always of the impression that Americans had a genera...

Nice notes Martin. Agree with you re. Murdock, well structured with great varietal and regional markers. Nice people too.

How about Maipo in Chile, just down the road from Santiago?

Sorry, Wrong

I wouldn't have gotten it wrong if I was Googling Want me to try it?

How about Hawkes Bay in NZ

I know them but I cheated and so no prize for me

the 1st one could be Grange, the second....... Oh, there you go, found 'em all on Google

I don't mind 'soft' coffee straight and black, but the tar that drips out of my trusty Atomic is so ferocious, you need three parts milk just to get it up to your nose.

Simon - Good to see that you got your image to post.

We baulked at Clonakilla S-V as well. Bought Ralph Fowler instead.

I would suggest that Ric was in fact a certified oenologically mixed bigot of vaguely encompassing redness. Or a COMB OVER if you wish.

I'd love to participate in something like this but I too will be away for all of September.

I was very impressed with the current Penley wines we tasted at the cellar door last week and so the museum release seemed like a decent punt. Three waiters spent ten minutes fiddling and tasting which had me thinking that it was either going to be really good or that one of them had dropped a conta...
