Please let me know if this happens - if I am free I'd be happy to assist!

A few days in the Swan Valley sounds great, I’d love to catch up for few.

Nice Roscoe.

I’m nearly set for Christmas. My wife got 4 bottles of Taittinger Brute Reserve for $30 each. Just need a couple bottles of Sparkling Shiraz. Planning a whole lamb on a spit.

Some marketing tricks still work on me. This time its a fancy (or unfancy) lable.

5* 2022 Dero, Phase Three
1* 2022 Marsanne, Phase Three

The Dero is the one that comes in a paper bag and is a Shiraz/Pinot Blend

That's some good shopping there on her behalf mate!
Although she looses points for not giving me the heads up

You going to grab some of that Anderson's sparkling?

A dozen 2021 Passing Clouds Maiden Valley Shiraz
Whilst I have had many PC wines from the 80/90/00, it been a while between drinks and this is a newly sourced wine from the old Balgownie vineyard, planted in the 1970s.

I know a number of the board have had bad experiences with Langtons, but I gave them a go last might. All to do with the post on the death of John Vickery. Never heard of him before, so picked up

1* 1998 Richmond Grove Watervale Riesling
2* 2002 Richmond Grove Watervale Riesling

Particularly interested in the 98, which was the instagator of the “move back to screw cap” movement.
