It is marginally better than Sorrenberg but far more expensive. It has become a cult wine, so pricing has gone through the roof. I will take Sorrenberg thanks.

I hate cork. Too many bad experiences. I must admit wines under stelvin age slower because of less oxygen getting in, but that's OK. That is a small price to pay to have a wine guaranteed it is going to be OK.

It is with a very heavy heart that I bring sad news of the passing of our great friend and wine tasting buddy, Cameron (aka MyChurch). Cameron was involved in an horrific car accident over the weekend where there were multiple fatalities. For those of us here who were fortunate enough to meet and s...

Awesome day. Thanks so much for providing the wines Con.

Highlights for me:
1999 Triolet
2000 Pinot Noir
1996 Quintet

The tasting again confirmed the greatness of Mount Mary. Great when young, even better when aged.

A great diversity of wine. So much fun.

Yes mate. World class wine.

6 x 2022 Mount Mary Quintet

The Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Shiraz is such a bargain wine. They age superbly. The 2010 is drinking superbly at the moment.

Some good feedback - I think I might hold off for now, I need to get more familiar with everything first before I dive in. I’m also in a precarious buying position at the moment with the wife not overly enthused of my wine purchases. Will keep my eye on it though. Cheers :lol: :lol: :lol: my wife i...

Anyone purchase off the Agricola mailer?

I still haven't made up my mind in which wines to purchase yet.

I tried their wines at the Good Food & Wine Show in Melbourne on Sunday. I was really impressed with their wines, especially their Rieslings.

Got most of these at the cellar doors and some at the IGA in Rutherglen. They have a pretty good selection of local wines.

Anyone purchase wine in the Standish annual mailer today? I was able to purchase wine 45 minutes after the mailer opened up on the Standish website. Not quite the feeding frenzy of Giaconda or Sami Odi, reflecting the high price points and greater production levels than the other two. I purchased 2...

I love Bowen Estate Cab Sav, especially when the alcohol levels are under 15%.

I received the mailer too, but will pass. I don't mind Gamay, but don't like it enough to pay $55.00. It may well be a good buy for someone that is really into the variety. The same for the Sem/Sauv Blanc.

I still think there is plenty of options in the domestic market...if only wineries here want to play. Or that the recent mistake, where a few of us picked up Seppelts Sparking Shiraz for 80% off…. Aren’t you dooming the industry if you think domestic options involve your recent discounts? Now grant...

Such a benefit being on the mailing list. Due to the scarcity of stock and demand for the wines, the mark ups in the retail space are huge.

The two best regions in Australia are Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. I prefer McLaren Vale over Barossa. The most exciting area for Grenache is the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale.

Expect red fruits - red currants, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.

I’ve been drinking mature Cote Rotie all week from the likes of Vernay, Rostaing Ogier and Jamet. In the mix have been Clonakilla SV 03,04 & 05. What a beautiful style of wine. So refined and nuanced at maturity. I know SV blends have been whacked a bit in Aussie forums over the years but I do ...

I wish I could make it Jamie. Will be a lot of fun as Craiglee Shiraz ages wonderfully.

I love Craiglee wines, not just the Shiraz. I also happen to only live 20-25 minutes from the winery.

Have not tried the wines, but based on their website they may be made in a similar style to Setiono and Agricola wines. In other words, a more elegant style of Barossa reds.
