Good to see customer service still has a heartbeat.

Hi Ben

Nice haul. Time for a catch up I think.

Cheers
Mark

* Not sure of you're aware of Al Murray aka the pub landlord. If not that reference may be confusing.

I visited Samuels Gorge and had a great tasting in January (2017) with excellent staff and great service. Yes highly recommended.

6 x Krug MV '164". This is the eagerly anticipated release with 2008 vintage as its base vintage. I would have liked more but one case was all my UK broker could get me initially. Surprise, surprise, the pricing hads gone up quite a bit - GBP 585 in bond.

6 x 2004 Balnaves The Tally
plus a shedload at this week's TWE tasting

Forgot some from late last month

1 x 90 Wynns JR (magnum)
1 x 81 Wynns Black Label

and ...

1 x '54 Wynns Cabernet (not BL at that time) .... first vintage of this wine and my birth year, a happy combination

You were born in '54?

Mate, you don't look a day older than 40.

is this the one you are talking about

That's the one, well the label at least, probably not that particular bottle

Level is a little below base of neck, probably reasonable given its age

1 x 2015 POOLEY Riesling
1 x 2002 PZZINI Coronamento Nebbiolo
2 x 2013 DAWSON & JAMES Chardonnay
7 x 2016 SEPPELT Drumborg Riesling

Yeah, right!!

Wasn't planning on any more buys this month, but the chance to pick up some Musar halves at a tenner a go was too tempting, so half a dozen received today.

If the wine is in good shape will you be changing your avatar?

Can't say that I've ever seen a Musar half-bottle. Tempting price indeed, what vintage if I may ask?

Hi Mahmoud
2009, though the hefty (and instantly binned) Waitrose drinks list that came with the order said they have halves of the 2006 as well. Not common and only in the red and the Hochar Pere et fils IME, I've seen them online at Waitrose, plus a couple of independent merchants in the north of the county.

Wasn't planning to buy this. Never even heard of the winery before until 15 minutes ago. But after reading a review at The WINEFRONT where this wine was compared to those from the northern slopes of Mt Etna, I placed an order.

6 x Two Tonne Tasmania Dog & Wolf Pinot Noir 2016

In for 6 as well

A couple of bottles of Aberlour 12 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Whisky. Ridiculously cheap for the quality and age. Goes well with a Cuban cigar as do all SMW's.

Carl

Grabbed half a dozen Glenmorangie 18s.... my guess is these won't be around in a few years

Visit to OT cellar door...
1 X 2015 Olivers Taranga Shiraz
2 X 2013 Olivers Taranga HJ Reserve Shiraz
2 X NV 'The Banished' Fortified Grenache

Guilty as charged. I also put through an order for 6 after seeing the MB article. At $45 per bottle is appears excellent value.
