Hello good people. I am so proud of how we in Oz & our good neighbours have done so well in this crisis, notwithstanding early inaction, various slips & Ruby (which all count). This is unequivocally awful, beyond politics geography, religion or race. Our pollies are cooperating, listening to...

The Nebbiolo is Out of Step, the 2017 was/is excellent. http://www.outofstepwineco.com/2016-malakoff-estate-nebbiolo Haven't yet cracked the others.

Was it prescient of me to discover this in January? And foolhardy not to have bought (but did download a sample) I could be prepping & hoarding all sorts of things behind boarded up doors & windows with 'social distancing' tools at hand 🏹🔫🔥🎺

Dan's have 12% off wine through CR today & tomorrow only + 5% off gift cards. 🥳

Antão Vaz 2015 take #2 Seleção is like an OTT Sauv blanc, well made but not to my taste. Presumably the unfamiliar to me Arinto & Siria must be very fruity/aromatic. Would be fun to put in a blind tasting 👿 The straight Antão Vaz 2015 is much sharper & more austere like a young Semillon...

Going off piste ... First time trying this warm climate Portuguese variety. I really like this, nearest approximation is Chardy, but more fruity & acidic, not buttery. Oak barely evident. $11 So impressed also secured the 'lesser' Pato Frio Antão Vaz $9 & Pato Frio Seleção $8 all through...

Somewhat OT, but have just watched 'The Farthest', a doco about the Voyager missions launched in 1977. This not especially smart device of mine probably has significantly more computing power than those travellers, but still they go about their tours of our galaxy carrying a few mementos of us...

Dan's have new limits: Note that "Direct from suppliers" deliveries are outside these limits, bless 'em 😁 NSW, VIC, ACT, QLD, NT, SA and TAS LIMITS: CATEGORIES LIMITS BOTTLES OF WINE 18 CASK WINE 3 BOTTLES OF SPIRITS 6 CASES OF BEER 3 CASES OF CIDER 3 CASES OF PREMIX 3

My, this is a very depressing thread to find 😞 Part of me wants the unbelievers to go in a strict Big Brother-type scenario & let's do the epidemiology stats on them as a control 'do nothing group' as volunteers - heroes 👏👏🤔 Part of me believes in evolution. 🐵🙈🙉🙊

This is a global coughstorm. Let's be generous where we can, caring & helpful. Give reparation & forgiveness. Edit: make contact with estranged friends & family. It feels good & is good. (Especially if they give you toilet paper) Virtual hugs to all 🤗🙋😷 Together we will resurface a better...

AFF co-operative wine merchants opportunity?

I just remembered the Cono Sur range which includes a nice base level Pinot. All widely available BWS, Vintage Cellars, Liquorland & great value under $10 & frequently on special.

A message from Dan's (in part): "Home Delivery... Now 2 hour Delivery Now in metro areas Get drinks delivered to your front door in less than 2 hours." Have some of us been so busy stockpiling loo paper that we've neglected the real necessities & need to fix it right now? :eek: Drinks stat...

I am appalled at the AFL industry going ahead at this time. $$$$$$$$$ before lives. The media is uniformly egregious. Self interest rules. Role models, eh? Beer & skittles at best 🤡 Utter madness.

Hi all, just a few general thoughts ... @juddles have you tried decanting leftovers into a clean (empty) 1/2 bottle? That may work around your oxidative dislike & reduce wastage - otherwise the budget is a false economy. Personally I like a variety of varietals & target the average cost which...

1 + 1 = x? Related to the personalised label post in another thread? 🤓 Can't help re C/s but also curious re cork which I avoid unless fizz or premium. TCA taint over a personal threshold is something that the taste sense never forgets - or forgives. 🤢

Tried to add link but phone/Optus/chrome conspired to re-load ads every time I scrolled or viewed another window. :mad: I'll add my 2 cents worth over there rather than entangle this thread with my undoubtedly divisive/wrong/naive/etc opinions. Spoiler alert Pinot is Mercurial.

Hey Juddles maybe re-post & check The Pinot Noir Thread

Hi all, in my wanderings I've (virtually) stumbled onto Mr West of Footscray who seem to have an interesting array of tipples (undo auto correct 😉). Anyone have any experience or codes with them?

Pardon my density, but does carboot 2020 code apply to the whole order or each bottle? And therefore multiple uses? Ta.
