Re: Voyager Estate Cabernet 2007

Could be a while given they haven't released the 2005 yet. Unless you're talking about the Girt by Sea Cab Merlot, which has already been released and seems to have been getting some favourable reviews.

Re: Sydney Inner West Tasting Group

I'm really sorry to have to pull out at this late stage, but it looks like I'm going to be working late this evening. I promise to make up for my untimely withdrawal by bringing a good bottle next time. Sorry again, I hope it all goes well.

Kind Regards,

Ben

Re: Sydney Inner West Tasting Group

I'm keen, October 9 is good for me (+1), as is Hunter Shiraz/Semillon.

I appreciate numbers are already becoming an issue, so I hope it's not too late to be part of the Inner West tasting group. I PM'ed cuttlefish to express my interest earlier, but the Inner West group seems to have become a separate entity now.

I think 9redpens comment was tongue in cheek, hence the :wink: Although I would be interested to hear the opinions of anybody who had actually had tried 10 year old sav blanc.

Cheers,

The Frogmore Creek FGR Riesling 2009 is a cracking wine. Beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity, a little bit of spritz adding to the incredible freshness of the wine, plus it's only about 10% alcohol. A great wine to have lunch of fresh prawns and avacado on one of these unusually balmy winter ...
