The Auswine Forum

Put us down for 3 - Pam , David and Michael.

why?

Have I missed something (some people think I miss most things)? There are 2 new Forums with no posts and I cant access them. Gavin, is this a work in progress?

Hugely deserved. A great winemaker. Citric acid works on your hands.

Cheeky...

The reason for the change over to screwcaps was due to the discovery that wine develops anaerobically (without air) and therefore the theory of the cork allowing air into the wine was defunct.

Andrew goes back to the UK early April. Should we see if we can have an offline to see him off?

Not out of my cellar and none left from the cellar that stored it. Dammit!!!

Had this at the famous/infamous/notorious Apex Bakery Luncheon Club in Tanunda. This was a real Steingarten as opposed to the current multi vineyard blend. The fill level was ok but the cork was crumbly, slimy and black. This did not look good for a drinkable wine. After the cork was extracted in pi...

What do folks see important for cellar doors to have and what makes a good cellar door? Also are there things in some cellar doors that do not make for a good experience.

Can't help but wonder how it'd blend with pinot noir in a still table wine. Mountain X shiraz pinot seems to have been fairly well-received but haven't tried it at the price. Cheers daz Neither of those blends sound like marriages made in heaven. Indeed I have never come across a successful blend w...

The Grapes of Ross Ruby Tuesday Rose is a cracker. A Blend of sangiovese and shiraz and a Gold Medal winner at the latest Barossa Wine Show.

I got the email too. Looks like the Oz wine industry is going to be inundated by a heap of poms bearing staffs.

Wouldnt it be good for the long term viability of the industry that this was a common occurrence. Im not knocking trying to get a bargain (I do that too).

So... I thought I'd replied to this thread with what I'm taking. I guess I hadn't! Having raided both my cellar and the cellar of a certain wine shop I've got a 96 Bin 389 in the decanter and if that's no good I've an 04 Tappanappa Whalebone cabernet/shiraz as backup. Regarding whites... I've got a...

definiely the lighter desserts! I've decided to go with the apple tatin & the cheesecake which I think will suit both the sauternes & fortifieds. Paul & Jasmine have just found out both of the entrees (vodka & beetroot cured salmon and the baked duck, potato & thyme terrine) are...

It will now be David and Pam plus one other - total 3

Count Pam and David in.

I deplore the 100 point system and it saddens me greatly that we all in this country have come to rely upon it so much. It beggars belief that we can attempt to be so exact with something so subjective, so passionate, as good wine. I'm sure many people use a sliding scale with the basic formula of ...

Have tried hard but unfortunatly we will not be able to be there this time.

There's a huge (and I mean HUGE) drop down poster in Sydney's Myer down to the food court advertising the new Jacob's Creek Moscato. There's certainly a band wagon going past and everyone's jumping on it. I've personally introduced moscato to about ten people and they are all mad for it now. I pers...

We were serving one of red wines at Barossa Under the Stars last night. 9,000 people to see John Farnham. Sold quite a few dozen. There was a great demand for roses, sweet whites and moscatoes mainly from young women. It was like going back 40 years in taste. I guess for moscato now read Barossa Pea...

Almost full (numbers not me). Please email me if you are able to attend.

Hi Ian
I have forgotten what wine we had and I need your notes to remind me.Getting old and useless.

Charles Melton, Yalumba, Henschke, Peter Lehmann-all are 'must do's' in terms of CD's open to the general public..Chateau Tanunda has the Barossa Small Winemakers Centre, you can see 25 in one stop!! Hi Paul. Hope the visit goes well. Would love to have you at our house for a tasting but we wont be...

Just a reminder. For catering purposes, if you are able to make it please email me on wintercreekwine@bigpond.com
