That is one interesting mix you have there! I'd be drinking the DRC and Grange while you were waiting for the Mike Press to come around

Did something fall off the back of a truck, 14g of Grange, don't know what the DRC is worth...one of the more informed on here can enlighten me

The MP and the OB cat's piss would be freebies surely

Umm a little look on wine searcher tells me we have a spammer here, but the well informed here knew that already didn't you....not April 1 is it.. The old 2009 DRC La Tache chestnut at 2500 pounds a bottle....perhaps the 14 g's worth of grange was a freebie as well

Quick look at wine searcher, 2009 La Tache, at least 3000 per bottle overseas...

Hmmm, perhaps the Mike Press is the wine for cooking, and the Oyster Bay cats piss is for washing the grease off the pans/bbq...

Anyways, like how the DRC and Grange were snuck in there so matter-of-factly.

4x 2010 Bindi Block 5 Pinot Noir
2x 2009 Bindi Block 5 Pinot Noir
6x 2010 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay
3x 2010 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "les Combettes"
3x 2010 Pegau CNdP

Wow, didn't realise my purchases would stir up so much hubbub.

DRC and Grange - $ inheritance, will raise a toast in remembrance each time I enjoy one of these.

Got a few non-serious wine friends (spin the goonbag types) coming over, hence the Oyster Bay and Mike Press for them.

You buy a dozen DRC La Tache, and not expect any interest? (Yeah and that Penfolds stuff too).

Nice work tarija, look fwd to your notes on the DRC in 2039 or 2043 perhaps?

1 2009 Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay
2 2010 Barwang 842 Chardonnay
2 2009 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon
1 2009 Paringa Estate reserve Pinot Noir

Ross,

That is the last 4 weeks and I've promised my better half there will be no more purchases until the mailer season in September/October. The trip to the Barossa broke me, thankfully I only do it once or twice a year. I did go a bit crazy this year though. The 2012 Rieslings are a result of all the chatter on here about the quality of them. The quality of the 2010's from the Barossa is exceptional as well.

Cheers
Ian

Dont worry Ian, just show your wife Tarijas post.....makes the rest of us look like thrifty accountants!

As a matter of interest, and not that I am in the market, but where do you get a lazy dozen of La Tache? I thought they were somewhat rationed out?

+1

plenty from china (or Rudi)
just have to wait for the ink to dry

Bought and to be stored in UK.
