Thanks for the help. I'll pop into the prince next time I'm in Melbourne

I thought it would be OK to ask on here because I didnt see any Barolo available on this site

Anyone know where I can buy some decent age worthy Barolo's online or in Melbourne?

many thanks

Please let me know your thoughts on the following idea: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Australia is blessed with some of the oldest vines in the world, therefore could we try and create some sort of prestige in the world market by creating some form of classific...

For wines I would recommend Punt Road in Coldstream, their new Airlie Bank range is well under $30 and are really good regional expressions. The Shiraz VIognier is superb.

Pinot Noir is tough under $30
