The Auswine Forum

Just came from a fantastic 10 day trip to Coonawarra/McLaren/AdelaideHills/Barossa. My recomendations go to: Burge Family, Gibson, Greenock Creek, Rockford, Two Hands, Turkey Flat, St Hallet, Torbreck. They all have very good to outstanding wines and the staff is very very friendly. If you want to b...

That is the opinion of some american consumers after getting bored of years consuming Yellow Tail and other aussie plonk sold there in the under $8 bottles with cute animals on the labels. A lot of those consumers are now moving to the "selected market" of French and Spanish plonk of under...

Here is a graph with very accurate temperatures took from one of this Prima 72. (Temperature and Humidity recorded every few seconds during 24 hours in may Melbourne). m You will see a small temperature variation around 16C and the fridge display was showing 13C all the time. It works quite well if ...

That was my first option, but Michael always use a nice silver glove.

I think most of you are overstating Parker influence on Aussie market in US. From what I see in the Liquor Stores and Supermarkets in US, I tend to believe that less of 10% of our exports (in volume) to US have a Parker review and maybe 2% would have a score of 90+. IMO, aussie brands did a fantasti...

Always thought Brown Brothers was really cheap crappy wine. Is this still true? I would think the same as you until I visited their cellar door in Milawa and tasted some very good stuff like 2004 Patricia Shiraz, 2005 Tempranillo, 2004 Petit Verdot and 2005 Shiraz Sparkling (last two wines cellar d...

This is the log of a Prima Wine Fridge 18 btls:

http://www.qexperts.com/whitefridge.pdf

Temperature around 9ºC (the control is in MAX)

Here is the result of 24 hours of my CyberCool 72 btls: m Pretty stable temperature around 16º (although the panel was set to 12 and it is showing 12 actual) and around 65% humidity.... Nice for a short term cellar ??? Any thoughts ? Will try now on a Prima 24 btls and will post results tomorrow.

I do NOT have any business relation with either companies.

Interesting topic as I just received a data-logger (looks like a large USB memory card) that collects temperature and relative humidity every 10 seconds. Them I simply plug into my computer (using USB) and the software will show me exactly the historical temperature and humidity for the period I wan...

I don't really know if the wines are given to them. They can simply buy the wines. Anyone has an affirmative answer for this question ?

3 wines at 100
11 wines at 99
13 wines at 98
16 wines at 97
24 wines at 96
595 wines at 90 to 95
236 wines at 88 to 89
207 wines at 85 to 87
9 wines at 82 to 84

Impressive.

I loved your signature,...have you ever tried this in a very fancy restaurant ?

I just arrived from a MollyDooker tasting here in Chicago and was very proud (as an australian myself) that Sparky and Sarah are doing really well here. Although I did not take any notes, I really enjoyed The Maitre D, The Blue Eye Boy and the Enchanted Path. All these wines are very well balanced a...
