Graham,

I had the Neagles Rock Grenache Shiraz a couple of weeks ago. Very nice. :D The bottle was gone in no time. It was hastily opened when my father-in-law dropped in and I think it would be even better with some time in the decanter. Still have one bottle left.

I have only recently discovered grenache based wines and have liked what I have had so far. The 2002 Bin 138 went down very well while watching the Cowboys beat the Doggies Saturday night.

This weekend will probably be beer in the outer at Dairy Farmers Stadium. Go Cowboys. :!:

What a dilemma!!!! Broncos v Cowboys. What can a Queenslander do. Just have a drink and know that whatever happens, we are on a winner.

Hope the big cats can kick butt on those Geelong pussies!!!

Some very nice grenache wines out there but the good ones, as in all things, cost a little extra.

I'm with Scott - GO THE COWBOYS!!! They seem to have gained the confidence and the ability to have their first ever win against the Broncos. And I'm hoping the Lions extend their grand finals record. QUEENSLANDER!!

The only Grenache I've tried recently was Turkey Flat 2002 - nice.

Cheers
