I just picked up a carton of this... well i'm going halves with the FIL so I have 6.... make that 5 Lovely golden straw colour, not getting much of the green though. Still very spritzy. The lemon and lime citrus still going strong though not overly sweet. Sweet but not sickly sweet. Still got lots ...

I'm guessing it's stuffed but if you get another go to a kitchen store and grab a fridge thermometer for about $10. Works a treat.

Most memorable thread: anything by Lordson or with Lordson's name in it somewhere Bless him! where's he gone? I don't know and don't care. I found him on a photography forum I go on whilst digging through old threads... must be a troll for sure. Only going by the small post count and content that i...

If your just talking about the shed you can still pick up a plain zinc plated 3x3 for about $600.

Nice story too Allan.

My thoughts on the wine as well very smooth and rich. I grabed a bottle from the local Dans a few months back and shared with my FIL and he was really impressed as well. Since getting that first bottle (covered in dust) only one other bottle has been sold and that was my BIL. The FIL must has come a...

From what i've found the good aged ones usually offer a 100ml bottle and thats all i'm after. I'll try the Black Pearl but alot of little gourmet shops have gourmet prices . A very old aged balsamic can cost $100+ per bottle and is almost treacly. I seen some on a US site and they were $180 for a 1...

There are a lot of quality levels and ages, are you after the aged stuff for special occasions or a good everyday one? For everyday use the Mazzetti 4-leaf version at the chains is a very good balsamic and quite reasonably priced. I've got the Mazzetti 4 leaf for everyday use but wouldn't mind gett...

Thanks for that .

Didn't have to be online and i'm in brisbane so i'll check out the Black Pearl.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody knows a good online store to get quality Balsamic from? I've done a search on the net but can only find wholesale lists or overseas shops.

Poor guy, there must be a curse on the wine industry at the moment.

Hi all,

Edit: don't know what i was doing it's actually 05

Tasted this 2 night ago. Fruity aroma from the voignier i'd guess but pleasant none the less. Medium bodied good acid and good length. Not much oak and all seemed to intergrate well.

Andrew

Hi all, can't really pick the things you guys do in wine but i'll go at it anyway just excuse the poor quality . Very aromatic in the glass. Medium bodied, i'd guess, and very spicy and oakey. The spice taste seemed to settle and balance in with the fruit and oak and the wine came together more on d...

i've seen this advertised in a chain store here in QLD as well.

Andrew

Choice are a weird bunch, we'll at least they are when they review coffee machines!!

Andrew

If you guys with coffee machines and plungers want some seriously good fresh roasted coffee you should check out http://www.coffeesnobs.com.au. They roast to order and they just one some awards in a recent comp in port maquarie.

Andrew

I'm alot like RRW i've started this journey glued to gary's winorama reading his tasty sounding tasting notes and wanting to buy the lot, then I found this place and it's getting worse. I know what styles I like (i think i do anyway) and am just trying more moderatly priced wines to try expand my ho...

Thanks for the reply's.

My FIL often grabs them to try and see what there like, but he was the one that asked the question now i'll let him know.

Thanks
Andrew

Hi all,

Can somebody tell me why some cleanskins are $3 and why some are $16. Surely if someone was going to drop $16 on a bottle they would go with a tried and tested as opposed to a guess and check ?

Has it got some thing to do with a better tax deal maybe?

Thanks
Andrew

Hope the fridge works for you Sam. Alot of compressor type fridges seem to do a fair bit to isolate the vibrations, hopefully it will solve your storage problems for a while at least . Ric my LG tv went after 3 years as well lucky for extended warranties. It took 4 weeks because they said repair, th...

I think thats the way i'm going to go as well, though i'm still going to get Tyson's book.

Hey Wizz, There is a place called Caffine espresso at tenariffe(spell check) probably in the top 3 in brisbane, also Naked espresso they use a naked portafilla's so you can see the coffee extraction fully not just the little spouts and it's all on tv monitors if you can't see the pour first hand and...

Old thread sorry if it's bad to drag them back. A good aussie forum to look at that has everything you need to know about coffee. It sells freshly roasted coffee or green beans for roasting your own. The website is coffeesnobs i'm to new so can't put in a link just thought i'd contribute to somethin...

Thanks for the reply's guys. I'm getting a small fridge soon as well and have a freind checking a bookshop in the city today for that book.

Hi all, I have an understairs cupboard that in converting into a small space for my wines of which there wont be more than 50. The area is about 800 wide and 1300 long though there is more space going down under the stairs the floor is more like 2500 long just the stairs get in the way. I've only be...
