    We've bought few cases of clean skins from Dan murphy's over the last year or so. Although cheap at $2 a bottle its good value and some of them actually aren't to bad.

    Had a mate who was working as the marketing manager for a winery he always said "it is the taste that makes a good wine not the price". Just found out Leda Swan has changed there name to Harris Wines, in case anyone is trying to look them up some of the guys up there offer free shipping so long as your address is in Aus. Pinelli do for sure just come back from his place, if you want any recommendations post the type of wine you are looking for and i will try and find some that match and where you can get it from might be slow getting back to you as priorities come first like fishing trip, and wine tasting.

    Makes me so sad to read about good wines . I am a social drinker, that is a moderate amount of a first class wine at a dinner party
    At the moment I am suffering from Atrial flutter. I had left side heart failure and now the right side has failed. Problem is the pacemaker is not coping and I am not yet back in synous rythmn. So I'm loaded with drugs. Result I'm banned from drinking any alcohol. Try remaining sane when, as happened at a dinner party at my home, a bottle of Pommery champagne was opened. I begged and got half an inch in a flute glass. Worse was to come. We like good wines and a St Hubert appeared. Again I managed only enough to wet my lips and to tell what a beauty I was missing. It's enough to drive a man to drink.

    Put it down to low blood pressure not getting enough blood to the brain. St Hubert? Dunno where he came from, it was St Henri of course

    When in Venice SWMBO and I stumbled on a shop selling Italian wines for two Euros a litre. Take your own water bottle and have it filled!!

    Good quaffing quality, and it helped with the other expenses in Venice.

    I've been buying a few cases of Kemeny's Hidden Label wines lately. No duds; all good value but the Chardonnay/Pinot champers at $8 a bottle in a dozen lot is an absolute bargain.

    The missus and I have pretty diff tastes but we share a liking for fizz. I poured her a glass of this and asked what she'd be prepared to pay for a bottle. Mid 20s she reckoned.
    Cheers, Ern

    Brought back some nice reds from Chile. They are now no more and it's a monster fare to pay for just a few bottles.


    Tried a bit of the Sav. Blanc coming out of NZ lately. It's reasonable but I've had better. Still enjoy reds more anyway.

    Sorry Ern, as they are a Sydney company (I believe) I didn't know they had a bottle shop in Melbourne. Thought you may have bought them from Dan Murphy's or somewhere like that, leastways that was what I was hoping so I could buy some up here in Brisbane.

    Thanks,
    Colin.

    Reds are good for the circulation and the heart. The neurologist tells me I"m better off to look after my heart than worry about my feet too much. I'll drink to that.

    Yeah, I've drunk some of the King 1996 vintage from Dan Murphy. V. good value for around $20.

    That said, the best port value out there is the Reynella Vintage if you buy a case and stick it under the house for 10-12 years. When these mature they have outstanding licorice and chocolate flavours. You occasionally come across aged stock in serious bottle shops and auctions; don't touch the '79 if you do. Lightweight; completely atypical of the line due to a change in ownership.
    Cheers, Ern
