Annual run up to Rockford.
Great range of wines, with Rifle Range, Rod and Spur and BP looking exceptional. Moppa and Dry Country also smart. Picked a mixed two dozen of the reds plus a couple of vintage ports and cane cut sticky.
Great lunch at GC Tavern with a bottle of Ballycroft and a Number 3 Riesling Freak.
Cheers Craig

Nice work Craig… I’ve been loading up on cognacs in recent times…. I have more wine than I can possibly drink, but plan to buy quite a bit more 24 CV Rieslings given the hype

Yes Mike true about the Rieslings.
I am going to be very disciplined; Crawford River, Merle, Drumborg will be about it.

Welcome to the forum Mick.

Picked up these Rieslings from Dan Murphy’s, some of them discounted at member prices.
The 18 vintage Drumborg was the same price as the 24s only because the bottle was in the current release section.
Often happens when they are clearing old stock, so always worth a look.

A mixed lot on the way. Lots are 'new to me' but a few old favourites / staples mixed in (they're the ones in blue), and most modestly priced.
