    Actually I think the revamped site looks less dated & out of the spare room. Though there's a lot more (intrusive) ads & scrolling :(. To stay on topic, am expecting Chateau Sainte-Croix Charmeur Rosé 2016 & Tahbilk Museum Release Marsanne 2011 tomorrow. VM purchases have dipped this year but...

    Wine lovers musings, amusings and news

    Recently I invested in Jancis Robinson's Wine Grapes & am thoroughly enjoying picking through the fascinating info. (Though not light reading, quite literally, physically) But it got me thinking ... just how many of the 1368 varieties have I tasted? I thought 20 , 30 maybe 40? Then I...

    I see The Truffle & Wine Co. Oregon Pinot Noir 2014 has been re-stocked ;) I boomed very early on the initial offer & am very happy with this one. Taste & feel is oddly like something in between Oz & NZ pinots - quite light bodied but with a reasonably long palate. Even with my very limited...

    Naked Wines - comments and experiences

    Well, W&D & cwh Thanks for your words of (dis)encouragement. ;) I did scan earlier posts here, which is why I came to post here ... & certainly picked up on the less than enthusiastic impressions of their wares. Given my tastes are not typical, there's a limited number of their wines that...

    Naked Wines - comments and experiences

    Got a $100 voucher for nakedwines via Book Depository. Not sure how they knew to offer me such a bonus??? :confused: Perhaps shelling out for Jancis Robinson's Wine Grapes gave me away? :cool: I haven't delved too deeply, but it seems like I can pick & choose what I want apart from 'Angel...

    Yes AC, I have taken liberties with this one. The current vintage is $30 so I went with that as per VM habit, I wasn't aware of CM 91 but I think even VM know a JH 90 is damning with faint praise. ;) In addition this review review from 2011 doesn't bode well if I'm right ... :-|

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    Any ideas on the 2008 Adelaide Hills Shiraz today, $11 down from $30. Thought it might be from The Lane given the more expensive back vintages VM have had recently, but can't see anything they make in that price range. https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/...&cluid=AU-9052 If AC can't ID it...

    So, International Sauvignon Blanc Day is Fri 5/5. Thanks VM, GWD & WD for enlightening me that this celebration is imminent. No competition from here for any of their SB offerings. :-| Might need to have a dry Friday if compelled to partake of that grape .... Nah, that's not going to...

    Sorry DA, it wasn't meant to indicate what is available but more so my buying habits. But the Semillon is still available for $22.50 And I saw they're offering a 2009 Cab Sav if I remember rightly - if you're looking to aged/cellar worthy wines it may be safer to buy already aged vino. I can't...

    Did a bit of a stocktake/clear up of the wine collection chaos & realised how few VM wines I've re-ordered (to be fair more than I've returned): Brokenwood Oakley Creek Hunter Valley Semillon 2009: Still available & really good Tahbilk Marsanne both 1927 & regular vertical: Do yourself a...
