The Auswine Forum

I am currently in Adelaide, just outside of Mclaren Vale

I am not sure if this was the right place to put this, but, while I am on my "holiday", I was thinking of working in a winery/ vineyard for a couple of weeks. Does anyone know of any good links/contacts for this?
Thanks

Well, the current economic climate claims another victim. So in light of my new found unemployment, I decided to crack a few bottles and commiserate/celebrate. One wine in particular surprised..... 2001 eileen chard This wine had been sitting around the house not that far from a heater (during cold ...

I get confused when I try and remember which one I had.

But BF in any?? Can't be more than a coupla percent??

Yeah, tried the 07 DP94, and awesome, more fruit and sexiness than the 06. Just the right amount of oak. Have already sold almost all of my 96 and waiting on allocation. As for OZ barrel ferment wines, was at th southern whit wine weekend a few weeks back, and was exceptionally surprised to see most...

Normal SB at a cheap price: Secret Stone(nz), Boatshed Bay(nz), Monkey Bay(nz), Alta(ad.hills)
Barrel Ferment at reasonable Price:Catalina Sounds(nz), De Bortoli YV Estate(YV), Moorilla(tas)

1999 Yalumba Signature I have'nt really had much experience with the whole shiraz/cab thing. This was a beauty, not much anise at all but some good spicy chocolate and dark berries/plums. The best thing was how it changed over the few glasses that I was allowed, not opening up or closing down, just...

Ok, so question might have been a little too hard. Darren de Bortoli and Brent Marris have combined to create "three tales" sav blanc. Yet another NZ/AUS collaboration. The link with wine awards was referring to the Wither Hills debacle at the Cuisine wine awards a few years back. I am sor...

How about this:
Sav Blanc????[b]

A few more clues:

Fosters make one

Cuisine Magazine Wine Awards(NZ)

World Domination

How about Darren, then?

Yes, but only one third of the answer.
Still looking for the connections. Another winemaker and the wine.

Deen De Bortoli?

Close, but nope.

[/b]

Noble One?

No
However, the answers are both a person(s) and a wine.

Right track, but no.

Similar but slightly different. Here are two clues that can lead to two answers but generally describing the same thing.
Anyway:
De Bortoli and wine awards

Second the descendant and the Meerea Park.
One a little different is the De Bortoli YV Estate.

I hope I am not jumping the gun, but the question was asked if anyone else would want to pose a question.
I will be happy to do this tomorrow.

My name is fairly obvious, easier to understand than an amalgamation of Tasmania and Otago. However, I would not have a clue how to put an avatar on.

I am horribly ashamed because I originally started this thread, however, due to reasons of a personal nature, I did not get on the plane to Adelaide this morning.
I apologise I will not make it.

Would be happy to.

bugger, work computer won't let me see.....
random answer=tahbilk?

I guess this probably goes back to the topic of giving what the customer wants, but....... if you are serving a wine that is out of the optimum temperature (and we are in Tassie here) then really, what kind of service are you providing? I do not call myself a sommelier, (i have no formal qualificati...

Seeing as the original thread might have possibly gone a little "off-topic". I am sitting here on a boring sunday night when I think one of my guests might have contributed to "THE FUNNIEST WINE QUESTION EVER" Having quite astutely selected the Bream Creek Reserve 2005 PN. (one o...

Am very much looking forward to this. Count me in for a Pirie Reserve PN 05, and a cab sav blend of some description(undisclosed).
Cheers,
Piers

Didier or I forget, Bailey from YY ?

Sorry for being late,

Is it in OZ?

My apologies,
This is supposed to be the shoulder season, but am a little busy at the mo.

plus, any chances of making it a little easier?

Is it the Gironde?

Whether I agree with you or not on whether lordson is an idiot, it's a forum. In my case, I have chosen abstinence as my preferred response (apart from this post and one other), to a large number of lordson posts. Perhaps you might choose to join me in solidarity, is up to you, and I look forward t...

thats what i was getting at on the other thread they should make 375ml bottles, ive only seen them for the sparklings No Mate, No it is not. I restrained myself from commenting on your inane posts in other threads but bugger me, you just can not help yourself, can you? You are an idiot. And thanks ...
