Hi Chris We are at Malpensa Airport on the way home after 4 weeks in Italy and France on a wine/ food crusade. Spent 1 week at Hotel Barolo as a base for trips to Alba - very friendly distillery making grape specific grappa- I bought the Nebbiolo grappa Enzo Brezza is located at Hotel very good wine...

I think any Nebbiolo with some bottle age would be welcome. I think comparing Aged Nebbiolo from different terroir would be of interest to the group.

I attended the last Rare Wine Dinner for 2015 at Salt Pepper Nutmeg last Saturday night. We were served 11 wines with two Barolo showing very well. 1969 Batasiolo Kiola Barolo and 1974 Cantina Della Porta Rossa Barolo. I meet Adam at the dinner who seems to like Barolo a lot He wants me to find 6 or...

I went to the last rare wines dinner at Salt Pepper Nutmeg last Saturday. I happened to seat next to adam who is a self confessed Barolo fanatic. He has asked if some formites would entertain a Barolo and Barbaresco off line in Sydney North Shore Restaurant. Adam is keen to have 8-10 die hearts for ...

Pilot friend basically gave me his credit card go nuts and buy Hensckhe shiraz he told me I discovered that the dreaded DM has the biggest supply of HOG and Mt Edelstone besides auction sites Purchased and picked up in two days of giving one DM the order 1990 HOG*1 2008 HOG*1 2012 ME*6 2007 ME *1 Ha...

2011 vintage Chateau Meyney arrived yesterday- my first purchase on a budget.
Apparently badly affected by hail damage
Josh from Sydney Langtons to the rescue- thanks

I have had a conversation with them every month since August and guess what the problem is in the warehouse. I assume no forumite has bought Bordeaux wines from langtons using en primeur?

Sorry to use the forum to air a greviance concerning the much disliked Langtons but I was supposed to receive my wines from Bordeaux in July 14 has anyone else paid and are still waiting?

I personally think Huon Hooke is a reasonable judge of good wine. Anyone that goes to Italy for Barolo wine tastings has got good taste in wine.

Five Way Cellars Paddington have an Italian Brochure 2014 may be a start for you to explore a range of Italian Wine Regions. Italy has 4 main regions- Piedmont where you find Nebbiolo/Barbera/Dolcetto grapes used to make Barolo and Barbarescos wines that are generally drunk after 10 years plus in th...

I told the guys on the Rockford stand that the web site sucks. Their

I enjoyed the experience- thank God for the french chef continuous supply of pate/prosciutto/ cheese and bread in between sips.I really liked the Petaluma 2010 and the Seppeltsfield Para Port. Disappointed in Torbreck Runrig and Brokenwood Graveyard 2011. Like to hear what everyone else thought of t...

Langton's.xlsx Give this a go! It has all the wines from the Excellent & Outstanding classifications. You can sort and filter according to: Varietal, Region, Classification and a user-defined Tasting Priority. Great Work- I have printed the list. I maybe lucky as I am doing the exceptional wine...

I am still trying to work out which order to have the 16 odd tastings of the ultimate wines and still catch the bus home.
Any one worked out a rough order?

I have messages James H directly about the problem for the last two months. I offered to him contact with some decent software programmers who actually know what they are doing. I can only imagine where he found these no hopers who destroyed the previous search engine. I will now and go to see if it...

August should still be a cool month- You want to avoid quick temperature change so putting them in foam box should be adequate. I would be placing the box on back seat with seat belt just in case. Avoid as much vibration as possible as the old men get grumpy when awoken suddenly.

I will be making my feelings about the new crap web site known to Langton people on the 15 May 14 in Sydney I am sure all forum members will do the same at the classification tasting evenings. I have built almost my entire wine cellar via langtons but now will not bother until they fix it.

I have booked the Sydney ultimate experience via langtons in melbourne

I would be contacting the consumer watchdog and letting them Langtons know you are not going to take that sort of BS.

Have you got temperature sensor located in the cellar to make sure temperature stays around 15C year round.

I belong to a gourmet club and I have been getting the wines from langtons and some graysonline. The best thing about graysonline if you fund a couple of off bottles they will refund the purchase and most times not pick up the remaining bottles. With langtons I have not had a problem with any purcha...
