Pure Provence Rosé 2015 Delivered on Today Forrest 'The Doctors' Rosé 2016 Delivered on Today Tintoralba Garnacha Tintorera 2015 Should arrive around Tuesday I'm feeling a bit feverish - Nurse! Sick Note Stat!

Why not find a tame sommellier &/or community centre to hold wine tasting classes? Attendees fees would remunerate you for the wines - you could even attend or host to see first-hand the appreciation & education of others. Early in my wine journey I went to a couple of such classes & was...

Got home last night to be greeted by Pertaringa Regional Series Adelaide Hills Gruner Veltliner 2016. Fabulous! So refreshing & lots of flavour. All gone but keep an eye out :D

So sorry to hear that. What a day it was ... All the best Would have liked to make it but already made plans for tomorrow night. Next time hopefully.

Re: Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals I'm firmly in the Stelvin camp. Whatever else, to not get that horrid musty aroma that heralds the death of fruit-based flavour is a luxury. To muddy the waters, what's with the Pet Nat predilection for crown seals????? Given the - dare I say -...

Well my self-imposed ban on buying lasted almost until pay day. :-| Looking forward to this mix from Different Drop: 2013 Dell'uva Verdicchio 2013 Rieslingfreak No.7 Fortified Riesling 2016 Unico Zelo Cherry Fields Dolcetto 2016 Freeman Rondo Rosé 2015 Calabria Private Bin Saint Macaire (I've...

I got the Zin & Durif a few months back, both Parola's & Reserve. The Reserves are exceptional & great value, but the Parolas are on another level altogether. Somehow not subject to the usual law of diminishing returns. :cool: In a feeble attempt to stay on topic, haven't been especially tempted...

Got my mix from Different Drop last week, have sampled most of them, but the pet nat-ish ones I think i'll defer passing judgement until I've tried them all .... 2015 Calabria Private Bin Saint Macaire wasn't much on day 1 - but my it developed into a lovely, rich interesting treat on days 2-4...

As I recall the Tomich was widely panned. I sent most of mine back - not horrible but ... it seems it was rather forgettable. ;)

Having tired of the drab VM offerings went to Different Drop for a mixed bag ... 2015 Calabria Private Bin Saint Macaire 2016 Lino Ramble 'Ring a Rosie' Nero d'Avola Pet Nat 2016 Smallfry Tangerine Dream 2011 Mount Langi Ghiran ‘Undisgorged’ Sparkling Pinot Noir 2016 Domaine Lucci Noir de Noir...

Doh! *slaps forehead* %#$@ you google - I said verbatim :oops:

I reckon Moppity Eclipse 2013

I wonder Moppity Eclipse 2013?

Yep Spy Valley as stated. I really like it - great flavour not too sweet. Not really a food wine but works well as an aperatif or a bridge between main & dessert.

I concur, but I think the sweetness is from flavour rather than sugar as such. I'm very happy to have them :)

Spy valley lives up to the reviews. Bursting with flavour & lovely long after-taste. Not an everyday drinker but will be nice to crack the odd one over a few years to see how they develop - I'm sure they will be very complex given time. I'm feeling very reluctant to speculate with VM at...

Apparently I have some Gewurztraminer waiting patiently at home ... :D Unlike me.

This didn't even last 20 minutes to sell 20 cases of 6. But it was nice to get the email heads up. Even if I've never bought a CS (even a blend) through VM. :cool:

Cracked a 2010 Tahbilk Marsanne last night from the Fo vertical (though see also the winery's club). Fantastic - just starting to show the extraordinary complexity of the variety. Will still improve for years. Which brings me to jumping in for the Gewurztraminer (thanks AC). The exercise in...

Edit: I'll take your reliable word that I've deluded myself again. I also wonder about Pegasus Bay, given they've had their wines before ...
