Thredbo, Summers - Low Premium Wine prices
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2009 6:17 pm
FYI, was down at Thredbo last summer & 3/3 good licensed restaurants I went to had premium aged wines at much reduced prices (for restaurants): Saltram No.1 1995, Elderton Command 2000, & Dead Arm 2002 all at $120. I asked, & yes it is a deliberate policy.
Seems to me a good way for those yet to build a big cellar of aged premiums [that's me!] to try a variety of them to learn about their preferences. The Command was superb to my palate - immaculate balance, the Dead Arm very good (& very big) & the No.1 was perhaps a little tawny for my palate (or past its best).
