Hi Guys. Still sorting out my shit and never noticed this before. Same wine, same vintage but different labels and capsules. Any thoughts. Cheers Con . Hi Con, I think they are both different vintages. chalteau.jpeg The bottle on the right is a 1996 vintage and the one on the left I think is a 2006...

It was mentioned on the Wine Front that they’ve dropped their prices $5 a bottle this year. Anyways, I’ve decided I buy the wine in full offer annually. What I don’t drink I’ll leave to my daughter. So many folks I know sign their kids up for the MCC waiting lists. I reckon preserving a Wendouree m...

I visited Sellicks Hill in McLaren vale a couple of weeks ago and had a chat with Paul Petagna. He said he probably won't pick much of his vineyard this year, struggling for ripeness and he has too much in tank/barrel already, having been caught out by the China situation. He said cooler areas of t...

Up to a whopping $150 a bottle…. And scored a few 100 point reviews too.

suddenly en premiere purchase looks good - what were they doing that for…$110 or so??

Cheers Ed

Could not get my hands on any. They were sold out in less than 6 hours.

Cellar12.jpg Every day is a bonus now. Bought this Transtherm Ermitage plain black door back in 2002 for $3,300. It has been kept in the garage from day one. Touch wood.......... it is still in perfect conditions since the day I bought it. It can keep about 170 to 190 bottles and I use it for long ...

2015 Henschke Mt Edelstone Shiraz, a real surprise here, lovely intense florals, voilets, dark fruits on the nose, silky smooth palate almost chocolatety in texture, credit to the wine making team, such a balanced wine. Under screwcap, it will outlive me. Pity about the stupid pricing on this wine,...

Oh Y5, pisstake of the century, 5 vintages of Chardy that they can't sell, wait a minute said the marketing department, we'll blend them

I will be out of my mind if I were to buy that bottle.

Thanks Craig, now I will have a new member to fight over that bottle.

There are too........many Bin around and their numbers keep on increasing. Never been interested in trying any of their new Bins (too many Bins number to remember). Have not been buying any Penfolds for the last 20 years except 12 bottles of 2010 St Henri when it was only $75 per bottle.

A positive update. The saga made it back to Colin Kay who has offered a bottle from his own collection. I’m glad he was made aware. In dealings with Colin 20 Years ago he was a kind host. I was not expecting a replacement for the 01. It's good that Colin is looking into your case but the damage is ...
