It certainly looks like the tigers are roaring at us this afternoon.
Looks like i'm going to have to rethink my choice of wine later

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...

called You'll never walk alone.Have you tried this wine as i
would like to order some?

Having a red to celebrate the reds win over Tottenham to secure the premier league.Takes us to 20 wins equal with Man united.

Thanks Allan .Very informative notes on my favourite riesling.

I hope any of the SE QLD members have secured their cellars from flooding.

Good ol Penfolds marketing aka TWE at it again.

Went there last Sept and paid the $20 entry only because the wife had read about the querkiness of the place. Tasted some of the reds,nothing real special apart from the Dead Arm and maybe the Footbolt for barbecue quaffing. To be honest apart from the views from the tasting room i would'nt go there...

G'day Jeez,it's been hot here in WA and will continue in bursts for a while yet. But I still want a red wine. So I've been fridging for an hour or so some quaffable reds. Not generally anything pricey and have been using this as an opportunity to clear out a couple of lesser wines in the $20-30 ran...

Very sad news.RIP Cameron
As i'm new to this site i enjoyed reading his posts
Always informative.
And yes he will be missed

Just spent 2 weeks in Adelaide and this winery was recommended by family.What an eye opener. Old school winery in Happy Valley in amongst housing estates.Apparently they still have 1 acre under vines.The owners were very knowledgeable and hospitable.Generous tasting pours.There tawnies especially th...

For the uninitiated could you please tell us what a "suffocated stelvin nuance is.
Cheers

Sean I enjoy reading your posts,so much info.Look out James Halliday,I think there's a alternative book in the offering here.Wine tasting/drinking adventures with Sean and Wendy.
Could be a best seller in the future.

I was watching a video on Yarra Valley wineries and a big mention of Lambert wines stood out.The opinion was that
the Nebbiolo was in the top 3 in Oz.Not cheap after checking cellar door price and also not many cases produced.

It was really the wine that did it.

6 x 2021 Sidewood Adelaide hills shiraz
4 x 2021 Kay brothers BP Shiraz.

No unfortunatelyYes it was the second and bottled the day after the moon landing in July 1969.

Fantastic to read all the comments on various brands and varieties. I know that it boils down to individual preferences,but it gives us novices an idea of what to buy and what to steer clear of. I was in our local Dans today and spotted a few bottles of 2023 drumborg on their discount shelf for what...

Old fortifieds are nectar of the gods.

It looks like some of you guys have won the wine lotto with your purchases.Some bargains had there.
I dare say some of you have been doing this for a long time.But in reality,being on a learning curve i
have to broaden my horizons.

Only the St Hallett Blackwell and Petaluma Hanlin Hill.Will we see the slow demise of once long time producers? I do worry about the way the Australian wine industry is heading.We already have a grape glut with the SA riverland in trouble. I know this has happened before but i think there is an ongo...

Hello fellow wine lovers
What wines would you like to see become more fashionable in todays world?
Myself i would like to see more Fortifieds on the market.
And also more Semillons aged or young.There's just not enough of this very
underated wine out there.

C,mon guys what about the good old Ben Ean Mosel and Liebfrauwine( Not sure on the exact spelling).
These wines were unbeatable at $1 a bottle.What more could you want.Only joking.

1988 Stanton and Killeen Vintage Port 18.2% Rutherglen, 100% Shiraz, vintage rated as 8.5/10 by the winemaking team I’m lucky enough to have purchased this recently at auction for $35 (yes, less than $1 per year), with a decent cork and its sediment demands a decant. Very deep black red colour, wit...

Thanks again for all the suggestions on the different producers.I've been doing some research on the variety and in Australia it looks like there are about 13 different well known wine areas growing this grape across various elevations.So the versitality could see this variety become the next big th...
