Re: Wine books

I also recommend: The Billionaire's Vinegar he Billionaire's Vinegar, now a New York Times bestseller, tells the true story of a 1787 ChOteau Lafite Bordeaux-supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson-that sold for $156,000 at aucti...

Re: Wine books

Couldn't agree more - it's the most unputdownable book I've read in yonks - and all wine lovers will swoon for it! Max Allen's just released book is apparently a cracker too - it's on the bedside table ready to go. Agree. It arrived on Saturday and I'm 2/3 the way through. Thanks for the recommenda...

Re: Cost efficient repairs for a broken Vintec fridge?

Haven't been wandering around here much lately (flat chat with other things like house renos and trying not to be swayed into buying more wine at the moment - need to reduce stock not increase it ATM!), but thought I should post a follow up on this in case others experienced a similar fault on their...

terms and conditions apply, but $200 +55 Delivery for the same fridge here. m **note - I hope this is ok to post Gavin. Please remove if not. Hi pc79, it was actually the fact that Penfolds were doing this promo again that made me remember I need to get mine fixed. Not very keen to buy another smal...

Cost efficient repairs for a broken Vintec fridge?

The recent thread about the latest Vintec/Penfolds deal reminded me that I need to get my Vintec SG30 fixed as it stopped working about 2 months ago (sounds like the compressor tries to fire up but fails). I rang Vintec to get a service tech recommendation but they essentially said “sorry its ...

Re: Penfolds/ Vintec Deal

reckoned that fixing it probably wouldn't be cost effective. -- George Krashos You're not wrong there George! This thread reminded me that I should finely get my act together and look into getting it fixed. So besides asking if anyone here knew of any service techs, I also rang Vintec to get a reco...

Re: Penfolds/ Vintec Deal

I got one on the last promotion (Sparky was great with keeping me, and others, informed with the delivery as it seemed they were very over-subscribed on the promotion!). Was ok but stopped working (compressor tries to fire up but fails) 2 months ago. Was planning on buying a much larger fridge this ...
