Craig, in all seriousness... how many bottles of 2012 Riesling have you now bought??? haha

[Mahmoud Ali]

I'm over the moon at finding a few bottles of the '07 Tahbilk Cabernet for $8, the wine gods couldn't be kinder.

[Matt]

reminds me of the Wynns 2008 Shiraz for $8 back in the day...

Shit, I was THINKING this was a laughing matter Sam, but its getting a bit silly now...should have a obsession thread of all of its own, but think its near 20 dozen possibly more, but i hope not.
Apart from some crazy prices on some where i may have got 12 ( Heggies, Pewsey, Henschkes Peggy's, all $13) have only brought 6's generally.

Yes insane i am now approaching some silly levels of all the rieslings from 1996 to now.

Just 3 or 4 delayed museum releases from the likes of sevenhill, Tim adams, Skillagalee, Mitchell, pewsy contours, wigan, heggies museum and then....I WILL STOP!!

I think I am catching Mike H in NYC re our passion for bubbles and Rizza's respectively
Cheers Craig.

[Mike Hawkins]

I feel for you Craig...

"My name is Mike and I have a problem"

[maveric74]

Had to justify this hard and long to the "financial controller", but luckily she accepted my impassioned defence:

6 x 2013 Grosset Riesling
6 x 2010 Xanadu Chardonnay
6 x 2012 Bests EVT Riesling
4 x 2012 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier
2 x 2011 Bests Old Vine Pinot Meunier

That's me done for the year locally but looking forward to Porto wine region trip in early November. Just a few more

Cheers,
Rahul

"My name is Mike and I have a problem"

Yes agreed Mike it really is a terrible problem to have...and I get an email from a friend about you guessed it some O'Leary Walker Polish Hill. Will I be seduced...probably.

Cheers
Craig.

12 x 2009 chateau marjosse. Bordeaux blend of merlot/cab/malbec.
For the price it's a great wine. Will drink two a year for the next 6 years.

[Hacker]

6 x 2011 Jadot Clos St Jacques Burgundy

[ufo]

4 x Noon CS
2 x Noon Port

[phillisc]

My Riesling addiction continues unabated

Don't know if stores are clearing shelf space for the 2013's (after all its just wine!) but lucky for me
Some more 2012 at really...silly prices in the mid teens or thereabouts, but a mixed box of Tim Adams and Mitchel's 2012s

Also another few bottles of 2012 Steingarten...challenges Pikes The Merle for me as the best two of the vintage.

Cheers Craig.
