For those looking to work out if sealed cases are under screw cap or cork.
Screw caps have a code on the box ending in 13. Cork ends in 15.
Saves a Man vs Wild attempt at not damaging the box.

Thanks Rossco. A well known Bondi wine shop was selling the 09 sub $20 so i put a case down in the cellar.
I've only tried one bottle but thought it good drinking at that price. Might give the 2010 a miss.
Some of the lesser Clonakillas can be like that too comparing vintages

Anyone tried the 2010 Cliff Edge? I've got some of the 09 which I enjoyed(and on sale) but not tried the 2010 to compare.

Hi All,

Got 2 days in Bordeaux and 4 in St Emillion.
Anyone recommend some good wineries to visit?
Time and heat restricted to about 5 so any advice appreciated.
Sadly don't have the budget to drink $500-1000 bottles but I'm sure there are solid producers that others could recommend.

Where can you buy Mike Press wines in Sydney?
Big fan of the Metala White label as an everyday go to but at the same price these sound great too.

Has Anyone tried the Sporran 2011 by Torbreck?
Got an offer to buy some at around $40 a bottle. Not tasted it so keen to hear from those who have.

Bought 6 pikes 2012.Drank the other 6 so buried them at the bottom of the fridge so I can't get to them. 6 2008 Sandalford reserve cab savs. A few Cape Mentells an...

I've got room for 170 bottles in the fridge.
Trying to keep quite a lot of it for drinking steadily and 4-6 cases to put down to cellar.
Hence why I was asking if you could put away 6-8 6 packs what others would recommend.
Regards

Thanks All, Some great recommendations. Agree with others that there are some cracking 2012 rieslings at great prices. Going to buy a few cases so that I can drink down a few and keep at least a few for the long term. I'm not convinced with some of the ratings of Halliday e.t.c. Perhaps it's individ...

Hi All, Just bought a Vintec and want to start cellaring some nice wines now that they won't cook in the house. Got a few favourites and gifts but need some good recommendations around the $20-50 a bottle range. Budget is a little tight now the fridge has been purchased No use having it empty though...
