12 x Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 4 x Magnums of All Saints Family Reserve durif 2006 - I was very impressed with this wine when it came out a year or so ago, and there's still some around in magnums.
Been in Margaret River for a few days, so bought a few to drag home with me. Leeuwin Estate Art series Riesling and Cabernet, Cullen 03 Diana Madeline, Saracen Estate Chard, and Clairault Chardy. Bought a few other as well from Woodlands and Driftwood, but they were consumed down there. Plus a few bottles of Sticks Pinot at a Marg's restaurant Sat. night. The local Dan Murphy's near my mates place in Perth also got a flogging from us, so bought (and drunk) a host of Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage, Villa Antinori Toscana, Wynns Black label and a few Yarra SV's (Debortoli and some other I cant remember!) plus we emptied his wine rack, and the case I brought with me. It has been a hard week, am going home to dry out for two or three days!!

Heya Teisto, SNAP! I've got a little one arriving in October too. As a consequence, I'm trying to buy less, but of better quality.
Cheers,
Monghead.
I've seen your better quality wines Monghead - would love to be able to splurge My knowledge of Australian and NZ wines I think is pretty good. As for French wines I am somewhat clueless - need to be able to try and read more.
I only have 2006 and the wedding in 2009. Very much looking forward to that thread on what to get from 2010.
It's just getting it past SWMBO is a tough ask at the moment. Especially when she isn't drinking

Well done joyous news. Probably the best thing about this period is that you have a designated driver for the next two years without any argument oh yes that the beautiful new wee one.

Well, a big congrats to you two. Hope the babies don't cramp your style too much!
Monghead, this must be putting a bit of a stop to the monthly 96s. Or are you now drinking on behalf of both of you?
Lovely news guys.
Thanks Kris.
I think the baby will just give us another reason/occasion to uncork something noice...
As to the monthly '96 thingy, we still partake in it... wifey just has a wee glass of vino once a month, and well, I have to do the responsible thing and ensure the rest of the bottle doesn't go to waste. Just been a little slack with posting in the monthly '96 thread.
I have had to collect 90,94,96,99 and 05 
its a real shame ...........................Regards Dazza
