Hey Everyone I want to get a Temp and Humidity Data Logger for under my stairs to assess the viability of storing wine there.. centraliased staircase, no external walls... However looking online for a data logger there are so many options.. The less i spend the more I spend on wine, so that is a con...

Just got a mixed dozen from the red retailer 2014 and 2015.. @$20 it’s a little more than normal but I couldn’t pass it up

Sorry if this isn't allowed - happy to delete if need be.. Just wondering from experiecne how long langtons take to pay out.. I have outstanding invoices from the 15th of Dec through to Tuesday and many dates in between..

This makes me sad and kicking myself for drinking my box of 2015 so quickly now! This is one of my fav wines but there is something about NV wines that doesn’t resonate with me... I like to be able to understand the year and it’s impact on the winemaking process... I also like opening bottles to rel...

I have had a grand cru 55 bottle fridge for 5 Years with no issues... I keep a vast majority of my cellar in offsite and just stock the fridge with ready to drink bottles or stuff I want close by.. I can’t complain, the value for money is outstanding, looks good and sturdy shelves... only criticism ...

2003 D’Arenberg Coppermine Road Magnum Boys night at Meat & Wine Co meant break out something special, in terms of wine and size! Firstly, cork broke at half way point, but rest came out ok... slot of sediment but more my fault as I couldn’t stand properly... had to take it to kingpin first! Lol...

Not so much tastes changing as tastes expanding! A few things at play; 1 - In the early phase of collecting, like many others, I bought into a lot of amazing vintages, high scores and killer deals... loads of 6’s and 12’s .. I now want more diversification in what I drink... so want to offload a fai...

Hi guys I need some advice, after a big cellar clean out I have a few hundred bottles bound for auction! I have tried email Langston’s but have found the process cumbersome and they don’t actually come back very quickly, if at all... What are my options? Which auction sites get the best traffic? Tha...

Title has been changed!

Trust me my credit card knew I had them!!!

I was just too slack entering them into cellartracker and then it got away from me!!!!!!!

I have seen this topic come up on quite a few wine forums but haven’t seen it on here... So my names Tim... and I SUCK at cellartracker!! It’s got to such a wild state that today I spent 6 long hours digging out every box in one of my off sites.. an 80% stock take and re filling all my wooden storag...

So it finally happened! After getting into wine a few years back and eagerly buying up everything I could - firstly just being a score whore, and now more aligned to what i like and cellar balance - I am at capacity! I have been buying a case of this and a case of that... I now have alot of wine. We...

I am conflicted writing this as I have taken the decision to stop buying Penfolds in the last 12 months but my wine of the year was a well decanted 2010 St Henri.... Fair to say it DID live up to the hype...

Hey Guys I missed the boat on 2012 Rieslings out of SA and Clare Valley in particular..Was spending all disposable cash on a wedding!! Can get some now and am looking to get some age on them, I have had a couple of 10 year+ rieslings lately and have been astonished at the smooth, buttery, honey tast...

Light and spicy, gorgeous fruits.. Sophisticated and silky... Really really enjoyed this wine...

Hi

Have a really close friends going away dinner on tomorrow night.. He arrived in Australia in 2011 so I was going to open a bottle of 2011 Basket Press Shiraz and a bottle of Rod & Spur...

I have a few.... - Maintain organisation of my offsite, and input my purchases and consumption into cellartracker so I never have to go through what I did last week ever again!!! That said, i can think of worse things to do on a 39degree day than spending it in a climate controlled environment - Les...

2012 Seppelt Sparking Shiraz... Can get it for $16 if you look closely enough... Amazing value!

Lots of celebration wines over the last week to celebrate the birth of our first child - My gorgeous baby girl Violet! 2014D Black Shiraz Amazing celebration wine, first time I have had it and adored the back palate and could only imagine what an aged version must be like... Really hoping to get my ...

2008 Seppelt Chalambar Shiraz I have been a big fan of this wine on this forum before, and I can see a few others above think so to! Well with a handful of years this wine becomes some much better than its price suggests... I popped and poured and it only got better in the glass so should have deca...

2013 & 2014 Only....

I really think it will be something out of the grampians from 2013... just a gut feel!

The Jimmy Watson is being awarded tomorrow night! What is everyones tip??

For what it's worth I think the 2013 Seppelt St Peters is a huge chance!

Anyone else want to have a crack?

There are some amazing wines coming out of Heathcote... Obviously, as already mentions, Jasper Hill is a stand out however there are alot of others... One not mentioned...

Clean and Sweet... A great match for the spicy food!

2009 Best's Old Clone Pinot Noir
Slightly muted, dusty tannins.. Earthy and spicy but probably a little past its peak...

Hey Guys! I was thinking the other day... 'Why havn't I been to an offline yet'... Despite having absolutely no doubts that the people on this site are awesome I still cant shake a tiny fear of not fitting in... Under 30, with a growing knowledge of wine that is still very 'imature' in its articulat...

So every year my wife and I go about doing our tax and usually get a nice little return! And every year we do the same thing.. 20% to me to do as I please, 20% to her for the same, 20% for a holiday, 40% on the house! My share will obviously go towards wine throughout the year!!! So the question for...

Tragedy!!!

You may be surprised... wines can be pretty resilient!!

fingers crossed for you!!!!!

First time commenting in this thread.... You will have to excuse my simplistic approach to notes - still learning and enjoying doing so.. Opened the bottle last night and had half, now sitting back on the couch and about to start watching the football and reaching for the other half.... 2012 Seppelt...
