Are there any decent barolo's available in aus sub $50?

[TiggerK]

Possibly, but none that I can think of.

We had a couple of nice Giacomos(?) at the Italian Wine Festival at Town Hall a while back and from memory they were around the $50-$60, do you remember Tim?

Just had a quick flick through hallidays companion on the throne.
He writes for his next (and future) companions, Campbell Mattinson will be doing a fair chunk of the reviewing (33% for the next edition). It looks like there will be no overlap of tasting between the two (one would hope the top wines do) so it will be interesting to see how their points will correlate.
Also, Tyson will be doing all the sparkling reviews.
I couldn't see any mention of Ben Edwards.

Tip: CAVALLOTTO LANGHE NEBBIOLO DOC 2011
It's around $60, but you might find it cheaper...

Good work Lawrie. I see the Bass Phillip continues to wear you down. I see a purchase coming on...

For my taste, I have found that Jeremy Pringle (winewilleatitself) is very consistent - I have a very good record following his recommendations.

Yes I am very tempted buying a bottle!
Speaking of Jeremy pringle, he hasn't posted anything on his site recently, anyone know what's going on?

I see Jeremy's website has a hiatus message up. I very much hope all is well.
