6 x daosa sparkling rose. 2021.

Yes never been a fan of the Bombers, so good to get one over them. Preparing for 2026 with no TDK, Curnow and maybe a couple of others. Adelaide will throw the kitchen sink against Sturt tomorrow. Expecting 5-6000 at the game. Cheers Craig Do miss watching Sturt play at Unley Oval. Should be a crac...

Anyone tried some 23 vintage yet. ? I’m up to the 2003 vintage! Just stood up one of each to try. Two decades away from trying the 2023’s 😦 Scotty V, this is the eternal conundrum with Wendouree. Over 35 years, there were a few vintages where I just picked up the Shiraz, but since 1996, I have look...

I had a 2006 Malbec last night. This is what I put on Winefront; I opened the bottle early afternoon and let it sit but took a small sample. Ouch, at first. It was throwing a tannin tantrum up front and a distinct acid spine, but tonight all harshness had gone and what was left demonstrated how goo...

Anyone tried some
23 vintage yet. ?

All in

Was up at Rockford’s last Friday did a stonewall tasting . All wines excellent . Local growers sem always a favourite. Was down in stone wall cellar saw they did a sav blanc in 1986. You got that one Craig!?

Opened a 2014 wendouree Shiraz on satdee evening poured into a conical flask . Left for about 30 mins -1 hour . Back into bottle and off to dinner. Opened again prob 45 mins later and it was drinking beautifully.

No real margin in flipping Wendouree or most cult wines . I get the ‘off load’ model freeing some $$$ for something else you have a greater passion for / aka palate shift .

Copped a whack on the cc for about 90% of what I ordered . As long as cab Malbec is in there I’m not too fussed

Still red crayon on my mailer. Quite a selection for the 2022 vintage. Pot luck here we come

I’m red crayon like most Wendouree- ites. I know some have the illustrious black signature . Is.there green crayon as well ? When I started with the mailer I was blank ! Now theres a gold crayon ( ) ? Is that between black and red ?

Hey sip. In my experience I’d be careful blanketing an entire vintage or avoiding it . I hear bad things from certain vintages in various regions but that often gets turned on its head when I speak to various winemakers at cellar doors and wine shows . Not to say 2023 wasnt up too much , but reading...

6 2023 Gertie’s. Cab franc CV . One left from a sixer brilliant wine . Made
By Ben Marx.

I called the winery yesterday to change address and the Mailer is imminent. If there was ever a thread to lure you out of the woodwork Scotty V then this is it. I thought of you this week, hope the CV property is going well and you and Matt might get first dibs. I'm glad the lad has stated that Wen...

I called the winery yesterday to change address and the Mailer is imminent.

Good one Craig!. Thanks for that. I think we're still gonna stick with the 2010 and 1971 and go for an 80's and 90's.
Was talk of a 2004 instead of the 2010 but we'll see what the group thinks!

Great input from all as usual. Thanks guys.
Has me thinking I may look toward less heralded vintages to fill the gaps.
What's the general thoughts on the 92?

Hi Guys
I'm doing a Grange night with some of the lads.
Got a 71 and a 2010.
What other vintages would be good in between? I was thinking 1983 and 1990.
Thoughts?
Over to the auswine brains trust.
