A hearty monster of a wine and whilst impressive, did not show much in the way of regional character. Tasty to the last but hardly memorable.

You should try The Savitar from the same vintage

Oy vey, have I got a giurl for you.

Hey, TORB, you worked me out pretty quickly....should I add that I am a psychiatrist?

Hey, Wayno, what about your avatar?

It reminds me of the posters in some old butcher shops showing the different cuts of meat - but would you do that with a dog?

...hey, you are not Korean by any chance?...

Curious about others....

Nautilus 2007 pinot from Nicks around $34.99 was excellent - I just had to go back for a second 6-pack. They rate it at 98 points.....

Hey, Wayno, this is one of my favourites (albeit 2001 & 2003 vintages)! There are only a few places I have been able to score a few bottles of this from in Melbourne....may I ask where you procure yours from?

Cheers, Lev

Like all mechanical things they occasionally need maintenance/replacement of parts. This is an extract from their Australian website: 1) How do I know when to replace the screw on a Screwpull Lever model? After opening approximately 2000 bottles, the Lever Model may show signs of wear, making the Le...

Thank you for the link to your project. I am contemplating something similar (probably without the lift though) in the next 12 months in another part of Melbourne.

Cheers, Lev.

Seppelt Show Sparkling Shiraz from 1994 was amazing. Very different to the Original. Unfortunately, most of my bottles seem Brett affected and it was around $45 mark.

Just out of curiosity why 5:43 pm? As opposed to 5:44pm for instance?

Cheers, Lev

Pirathon Shiraz 2005 by Kalleske - available at Nick's for about $22 and ready to drink now (with decanting, of course).

Cheers, Lev

My guess would be 287.

Overt what sort of time period did you manage to fill this jar, though? That info would improve the accuracy of my guess significantly!

Cheers, Lev

Yes, I am contemplating a similar exercise next year, so I would be very interested in the step-by-step progress updates.

Cheers, Lev

For all who contributed, here is the definitive answer from the source: Good Morning Lev, Thanks for your query…. 100% Shiraz! Sorry to say there is no Grenache or any other varieties in here for that matter. However the different flavours and complexity is derived from the grapes which come f...

Thank you, all - what a nice bunch (pun intended) of people hang out on this forum!

Brian, at $5 and better than Grange, I'd better take your offer!

And Carl, I have to ask: what are snozzberries?

Cheers, Lev

Hi, all. I have a question which some of you may be able to shed some light on and settle an argument. I have just tasted a bottle of 2005 Kalleske Pirathon Shiraz (or to be correct Pirathon by Kalleske) and my tastebuds tell me there is a hint of grenache in there. It is not mentioned on the label ...

The Quaff 120 liter unit was about $1599 plus shipping and insurance

Just out of curiosity, what is the problem with spambots registering user names on this forum?
What harm can they do?
Do they post spam messages or something?

Having looked into wine storage alternatives recently, I have bought a number of books on this subject, including Tyson Stelzer's. The best by far has been: "How and Why to Build a Wine Cellar" by Richard M. Gold (4th edition). I bought it from Amazon - highly recommend! In the end, I opte...

Its happening a lot for me currently, especially on pages that have many posts, not just a copule.

I assumed its because my connection has been throttled to 64kbs for exceeding my download limit this month (bloody Telstra Bigpond ...)
