I moved to Bacchus Marsh seven months ago. I'd love to find some local wine lovers for sharing terrific wine and (questionable?) conversations in this 'neck of the woods'. I'm sure we'd welcome both those new on the pathway from liking wine to being fascinated by wine, as well as my fellow wine obsessives.
My cellar's about 450 bottles, with lots of aged wines [10 years+] from $15 friendly drops to $150+ aged elites - all of which I love.
Please do throw your name into the post here, or private message me.
Delighted to have a commuter come from Rotterdam to my Bacchus Marsh tastings. Well worth it.
Turn right at Singapore and it's the 967,413th place on your left. No need to bring any smelly cheese.

haha just replied similarly in another thread having not seen this.
Softie & Cuttlefish starting a tasting group eh?? I can highly recommend this based on direct experience.

And the rest is a most enjoyable history.... Miss both you guys!
But come live in Australia's best city and join in.
Hmm I feel you tried that, then moved to Melbourne and eventually found that living a bit further away from Australia's second best city was the best option...
Catch up one day soon mate, been too long between wines together.
Folks I just sent this PM. Post and message if you want to join us ...
Gents,
How about 2.30pm on Sat 6 March or 2.30pm on Sun 7 March for our first tasting? 14 Canterbury Drive Bacchus Marsh. Ph 0408 xxx xxx
Two wine varieties Riesling (young or old) and Shiraz/blends (lighter styles?). Please nominate one variety to bring. And bring a matching cheese or snack. I'll supply glasses and bread, butter, Olive Oil.
I recommend you leave elite wines for later tastings and aim to bring good but non-elite wines. But as ever, up to you.
Four of five of us have replied so far. The gist is it'll be Saturday 6 March from 2.30pm at my home in Bacchus Marsh.
Feel free to bring a partner [but only bring one bottle, please]. And please bring a cheese plate or similar small dish to suit your wine.
So far the wine types we have are:
1 Reisling [Jan]
1 Either variety {Softie] ... so we have 2-3 bottles of each varietal assuming five attendees [Softie]
2 Undeclared [tell me please Cuttlefish and my Church ... what variety you want to bring]
Could not find a way to attach a photo via the forum mail, so here is my bottle, just out of the EuroCave. I was due to drink a bottle of 06 Ganevat on Sunday with a friend, but both our bottles had only been standing up for a short time and the sediment had no time to settle. Just hoping this will fall to the bottom by Sat - otherwise I’ll have to find a different bottle .

Miss both you guys!
