Those Glaezters are everywhere...

Very interesting that it's a Shiraz from Tasmania... Come to think of it I don't think I've actually tried any Tasmanian Shiraz; I'd be interested to sample this, but the JW means prices are going to likely go through the stratosphere

I have a Vintec and while I'm generally very happy with it, I can't help but feel the design, well, sucks.

there is, what seems, acres of wasted space and I end up chucking bottles in willy nilly.. Not ideal but it does the trick I suppose

Hi folks

I've been looking for a Melbourne based tasting group for a while now. Obviously missed the 15th but would be eager to come along to future events. I work in East Melbourne and can weekdays or weekends

I always try and avoid wineries that are part of the big companies 'Portfolio' and now seemingly for good reason. It's a shame that it takes something like this to justify my reasoning for trying to buy from independent or family owned wineries We all know that money is essentially the key factor an...

Good morning everyone, I've returned to the board after a fair absence with a new username, purely because I'd forgotten what my old one was As for what I drink; Well I tend to stick to Victoria as a region as it's local and I love it's diversity. 'Affordability' is another keyword as financial cons...

2008 Terra Felix Chardonnay Terra Felix really has little to do with its previous life as a Tallarook second label these days having new owners and winemaker, Terry Barnett (ex Brown Brothers), and based near Nagambie to make their commercial range wines. They are competing in a tough market, but t...

I've read a lot of your posts Bick (in my previous guise) and always had you down as a decent poster. However, even if you weren't I'd be wishing you nothing but good luck

Take it easy and get well soon
