Ben Rigg's Three Brothers Reunion Shiraz from Riverland, the engine room of the AUS wine industry.

Fox Creek's Shadow's Run is cheap quaffing I have enjoyed recently.

Leasingham Bastion Cabernet 2002($12), Hardy's Oomoo Shiraz 2002($12), Bullers Caspia Shiraz 2002($10).

Cheers

The 02 Peter Lehmann Shiraz V Good

And the 02 Rouge Homme Shiraz Cab is good

Everyone has assumed red so far!

I've had one each of the 04 Tahbilk Rhone whites this week, all good value at $130/dozen (club members price). the 01 Cab and Shiraz weight in under $15 as well.
McWilliams Elizabeth Semillon is a perennial bargain under $15, and any number of Rieslings can fit the bill.

cheers

I picked up a doz. of Seppelt Chalambar 2001 for $14 a pop and O'leary Walker Shiraz 2002 a month or so ago for $15 (club prices)....they have got to be the best value reds around.

Anyone tried the 2003 O'leary walker shiraz? Nick's has just released at $18 pb
Red Stuff

Kies Estate 1986, 1987 Shiraz and Cabernets for $1 a bottle. Still had the original $12.50 price tags on them.

Two recent favs are for red, Chalambar (00 or 01) and Pewsey Vale Reisling 03.

For ultra cheapies, the Yalumba Y viognier ($8 per bottle) is a very smart wine for the price and Houghton Sem Sauv Blanc is good cheapy to match with spicy Thai food.

2002 Steppingstone Coonwarra Cabernet. A wonderful wine that has continued to improve since release about 5 months ago. Staggering quality for the price then of about $9.00 pm. Have not seen it at that price since. 13%

I reckon the Houghton SSB 04 is good value too. A vibrant white that has good varietal definition in the blend.

Tahbilk whites at club member prices are usually good value and at least good (often better) quality.

Peter Lehmann Shiraz should be good value < $15 but my local sells it for $20+ and that puts it out of quaffing territory for me. BUT the Clancy's 02 is a useful wine. must've consumed a case or so while the local had it @ $10/btl for a month. The PL Chard 02 was pretty good too for $10/btl.

Was intially quite impressed by Brown Bros Everton Cab/Malbec 02 for $9/btl but decided it's a bit of a fruit bomb and not really my style.

Tried all but the merlot of Jamieson's Run standard red range and settled on the CS as the best of them, mayb a little confected but a reasonable quaffer @ $13/btl.

I had this on Saturday night, and thought it was bitter and astringent. Horrible. Hopefully it was just a bad bottle!

This isn't red, and it's isn't even dry! But I like the 2004 Burge Lily Farm Fronti. It's great! Sweet, grapey, you can't stop drinking it. Really.

Also like the seppelt 2002 victoria shiraz.
