Re: Next Melbourne Offline - thoughts, ideas?

Re: Proposed Melb Offline: Aged Coonawarra Cab/blends
Agreed, a great night and props to John for pulling it all together. Restaurant, food, wines & company all excellent. Bias aside, I enjoyed the Coldstream most of the Chards too. Have had it a few times now and it showed pretty well after some air on Saturday. The LEAS was definitely complex wit...
