I think to enjoy this wine you actually need more than one tastebud, there is a possibility that Maximus's was on holiday when he tried it .. there is to date at least 8 people who have tried it and put on record within our wee fraternity that it is a superb wine. Personally I am comfortable in my e...

All good have resolved and bro in law buying as we type/speak well whatever we are doing!!!

Theme for the party is sis-in-law getting old yay she has finally joined the rest of us in the 30 something club!!!!!

Yeah sorry brother in law wants them was trying to find out on his behalf where there might be some, at this stage have ordered a couple from Glengarry here in Auckland and will send with wife over in plane. Of course if someone does know of any in Sydney then I will quite happily drink those ordere...

Well actually no I am not, but brother in law in Sydney is gagging for some Pagasus Bay Reisling for his better halfs 30th birthday bash in a couple of weeks time ... anyone know of any bottle stores that may perchance have it in stock??

I don't believe vintage is a problem ..

Craig is wasting time in Aussie or at least he was on some work related junket .. and on the plus side England won .. my wife being english I have little choice but to grit my teeth and either support them or sleep on the couch. I think I might start supporting tiddly winks ... m English look prett...

Good point less nagging/carping and I won't feel dirty in the morning

What is rugby? Where is Craig when I need him. I had the Weeping Sands Syrah 2006 from Waiheke Island. Pretty smart wine.

Unfortunatly for everyone concerned Craig's palate has grown and got its own opinions!! Not only that they are quite noisy!!

Probably going to try a 2006 Johanneshof Marlborough Gewurztraminer Craig(NZ) reckons its pretty hot .. probably have it with a chicken or fush dinner.
See I even take the puss out of me!!

Tight arsed Parker we at the www.kiwiwinefanclub.co.nz give at least 50 points for being alchoholic and a bonus 24 points for pretending to come from grapes.

My goodness Craig its almost readable your use of the English language bring tears to my eyes (of pain). Its almost like you have plagarised the dictionary but made up words as well. I think that you should drink more wine (if thats at all possible) because as you know practice makes perfect. And mo...

It is of course obvious to most that the 100 point system is fatally flawed in that it only rates out of a hundred. By using a prime number higher than 100 we know that we will be able to drink regularly 100+ point wines without fear of having to extend our mortgages. Now off to WineNZ watch for upd...

We never write off a wounded aussie .. they may have lost 3 nil (still sounds great to my ears) but but we still are perfectly aware No Ponting No Gilchrist No Lee Bring on the World Cup, the sooner the better as our boys have their backs up now!! Confidence is everything and Aussie have had it in a...

Hey, for those interested you can now post comments about Craigs (and mine for that matter) notes. Just register at our site and Bob's your uncle.

Substitute Bob with your own Uncles name obviously ..

I think Adair drinks far too much and needs to bring some more over to NZ on his next trip!!

Share I say .. share

Hey I here there is a great market in Nigeria lots of money in a bank there apparently .. all you have to do is send 2 cases of grange and a magnum of 1952 lafite rothschild

Get in now!!!

2002 Hungerford Hill Reisling .. lets just say I will stay this side of the tassy when tasting Reislings .. unless anyone can direct me to a good < $40NZD Aussie. Was experimenting with the old tastebuds and trying something different. Thinking about doing a Tassy Reisling challenge if we could get...

Now all they need to do is see sense and dump tuffey and replace with martin

Bring back Chris Harris more miserly than a scotsmans wallet!!

No I suspect that would be the Australian Cricket teams prospects at the World Cup!!

Go the mighty Black Caps!!!!

Try the 2006 Pegasus Bay Aria if you can get hold of it. It's sensational. Yup it is good but my mind (tastebuds have long since forgotten its exact golden qualities) is still in love with the 02 .. will have to get Craig(NZ) to open a bottle and try both together .. besides can't remember much of ...

Craig I trust version 5 will be the in-vogue black on black (it's the new black I'm told). Ian Well to be honest I was erring on the side of Beige on Grey but we just went plain mad and opted for a tinge of green .. the third option we had was a minimalist look of white on white -- a similar concep...

Still Craig what have you been doing today, reports have it that you shamelessly threw yourself at your wife on Mission Bays foreshore in a vain attempt to extend your wine buying budget --do you have a response to this allegation??? As for shameless self promotion I rather like the new look .. very...

Dear Craig(NZ) as you know it is easier to gain forgiveness than permission

Umm yeah its a slump the worst loss in Australias one day history, and the only thing that might soften the blow to the Australian 'EGO' was the fact that we (NZ) also lost to England.

Now its a toss up the 2002 Pegasus Bay Aria or the 2002 Te Mata Coleraine to celebrate the victory????

Wow Is all I had to say .. if anything Craigs notes were a bit conservative this is a fantastic series of wineswell worth the effort of the drive to the winery. Shame I ran out of money and couldn't buy any more. Judy has a real winner on her hands with both the Puriri Hills 2005 Reserve and Pope.
