    Wine lovers musings, amusings and news

    Christmas Day Lineup

    Has everyone got their Christmas day drinking lineup sorted? Love to hear some of the drops people are planning to consume. With a forecast 40 degrees in Adelaide I think there will be more fizz and white wine being consumed than red. My contribution to lunch will be 1999 Perrier Jouet Belle...

    Sent letter asking to be on mailing list last week, today received an order form with "enquiry 18-7-16" written in top right.
