    Cracked a 1994 Wynns Michael Shiraz last night...overall verdict...a tad past its peak. If youve got any of this stuff then think about drinking it soon.

    Default Wynns' Michael Shiraz

    Thanks for the tip. I was only admiring it on the wine list last night at $100 a bottle......but it wasn't the 1994. (Like is in my cellar)

    We had the Annies Lane shiraz and it came in a screw top! Not even a fake cork. A bloody screw top! I'm not even going to think that they might be topping them up.

    Exclamation Capel Vale cabernet shiraz merlot

    Just uncorked a 2001 Capel Vale cabernet shiraz merlot an unknown quality but sniff of the cork gave a hint of perhaps a delectable red to savour over dinner....we await with the wine now breathing!!

    Cheers bon appetite

    I just purchased a bottle of De Bortoli Yarra Valley Cabernet Savignion 2001

    I'll give it a kick in the guts over dinner. Hope it's a good drop.

    Another red brew of a roughish & uncorked and savoured..but not too shabby cab sav of the local made variety(Margeret River) as SWMBO has decreed a staunchly and well made Spag Bol mated with accompanying overdosed Garlic bread is the order for tonights fare!!


    Geez this REDS bloody nice ...only trouble takes twice as long to hit the keys here eye's a failin' rapidly ...oh heck give it a 'nother nudge finish off the bottle much to 'er indoors dismay!!!!

    You'all have a good one...er night that is !!

    cheers I think therefore I WILL

    Some Hudsons Estate 2005 Shiraz. Peter Hudsons wine but think they have folded. Anyway a $35 top peppery shiraz for only $10. We sold out fast but I managed to secure a few dozen for my own use.

    Just finished my last Mount Prior Durif. 1997. A pleasant dinner party but sadly I noted I hadn't topped up supplies of this smoothie. Have to remedy that ASA:P

    I was in Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago and ordered the "Chateauneuf du Pape which I believe roughly translates to "Chateau of the new Pope"

    Rather pricey but it was without doubt the best wine I have ever had!

    Everyone I spoke to in France knows of this wine, it has quite a reputation.

    It must be good because when we ordered our second bottle the waiter made quite a show of it and we recieved special treatment for the rest of the night.

    Unfortunately good wine is hard to come by on Thursday Island and we sent our wine collection to the inlaws in Brisbane for storage before moving north

    Luckily it is in a locked Vintec cellar and I have the only key

    Cheers, Jack

    As far as critters to the US go, a Victorian wine Ducks Muck was awarded 99 by Parker and sells in the US for about $1500 US. There are now quite a few wines at the premium end made for the US including
    Mollydooker Carnival of Love 2006 $125 US and Hundred Acre 2004* $269 US. By Comparison the Grange 2002 sells in the US for $299US. My son in law is in the wine business in San Francisco and provides me with the data. Lucky he does or I would not even know about some of these specialty Australian wines.


    My best tipples this week were a 94 407 and a 98 389. Both were extremely good with plenty of years left - unfortunately I don't have plenty left!

    From what I've seen on the labels, I'd suggest this is anywhere from the Barossa Valley to the Hunter Valley!!!!

    I'm not a huge 'red' fan but getting to be a bit of a diehard cleanskin sampler... & from my experience so far I won't discriminate on the closure!
