The Auswine Forum

Tetsuya used to be my favourite BYO restaurant in Sydney but I just got told that they no longer allow BYO...

There is an ADL demand for high end offline. I know some folks say this is beyond their budget but is it? If you are on a wine forum posting I’d suspect most have a few special bottles . Put up one special bottle but try another 8 . Your palate won’t forget them . So there’s a bit of resistance to ...

Great notes as always, Ian. Was the Krug Rose an older bottling?

Was that soldera under red wax capsule??
Never seen one like that before...

Any thoughts/preferrences?

DRC montrachet 1978???

Hi guys I can't confirm until next week. Sorry this is hospitality... I'm happy to move to standby for those who can confirm. Cheers With Jamie's friend dropping out, and Chi still slated as a maybe, it's probably worth also confirming who is ready to step in if a space opens up. George and Vinh Ngu...

Hi guys Sorry for the late response. I can't confirm until closer to the date but I'm trying to be available on either day. I can move to stand by list if need be I agree with tonsta and try to avoid another grange/penfolds night. I can bring a grand/top 1er cru burgundy (blanc or rouge) plus perhap...

Or clos d'ambonnay?

Tentative for me if it's not 23-26 June. However any Fri sat could be difficult for me.

Never seen any soldera in adelaide before. The 1990 that I had in sydney a couple years back was probably one of the best wine in my life.

Cheers

Better than mouton 2000!

Also a good city to buy Japanese sake!

2002 trevor jones wild witch 9litres.
Purchased and consumed few years ago.

Yes Watson's and etc can be very expensive but occasionally you can find some good bargains especially during discount promotion.

Recently just picked up a couple of Phillippe Charlopin Parizot Chambertin 2010 at less than $1700hkd, which is a reasonable price i believe.

It is hilarious about the unnamed young lass!

Hey Ian I could have contributed the 86-88 if you invited me!! I have been a long time fan of HP cabernet especially those made by john wade. Great to hear about the 12. Agreed on the 89. A great wine from an average vintage. 92 and 94 are always my favourite but obviously you had different experien...

What's the base vintage of the les perrieres? Any good?

Creek Block 2008 we got a huge BBQ after the game on Saturday, drinking red wines from every vintage the Hawks have won. Happily, it seems the 2008 wine is the Greenock Creek Creek Block shiraz!!! Cool, I will post TN's here if I can remember what it tasted like the next day. got the email on the wi...

Yes. I'm interested!

Hi guys

My comte armand hasn't arrived from sydney yet. I will get a substitute if it doesn't show up tomorrow and advise asap.

I believe i have a bottle of comte armand clos des epeneaux 1998 stored somewhere (i think it's actually in sydney but i will need to find out). While red wine from beaune always gets overlooked it should be still interesting to compare a volnay to a pommard from same vintage (I'm afraid the pommard...

Hi Ian Time to buy a new smart phome... I just got an additional bottle of the 2008 Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz from auction with a laser etched code not covered by previous explanations - AD5210060751. Did anyone find a method of reading the codes starting with AD, etc? Cheers, Ian EDIT : I found ...

Wanted to attend But my life is too short to drink dead wine...

Can I Just come to pick up that bottle from you?

Cheers

forget riedel... go for Zalto!

perhaps I am...

Is there a limit to how much wine I can bring? I have a bunch of leftovers from tastings in the Barossa and Adelaide Hills that some people might want to try or take home. I just won't have time to drink them. They're open but still very drinkable as far as I can tell. Do you think it would be OK f...

At the Edmonton Whisky Festival a few weeks ago I met a wine agent who quite emphatically insisted that Rockford had been sold. He proceeded to tell me that residential housing was going up in its place. I was skeptical as I would have thought that the news would have been all over the internet and...

Wow the jj prum 64 had excellent colour

I should also check out the 98 that I got. Never tried this vintage.

think I should reveal the answer... it's Domaine Serene from Oregon DOMAINE SERENE TOPS DOMAINE de la ROMANÉE-CONTI Dayton, Oregon, Tuesday, June 29, 2004 – In a blind tasting by 37 wine industry professionals from throughout the United States, Oregon’s Domaine Serene Pinot Noir wi...

No but from the same country...

A pinot producer. In 2004 it made up a bit of hype (probably in US only) by beating a series of DRC wines in a blind tasting
