The best value decanters going! No need to spend $100+ on a Riedel version, save that cash for the glasses.

A couple of tasty treats from last week. The Meursault was very fresh and Chabliesque. The Marsannay was lovely, all minerals and red fruits. Both delicious.

I personally wear shoes to the bathroom on an airplace, but not from fear of treading on urine... I have found some far more gruesome things on public bathroom floors in my time. With reference to the OP this hygiene preference is beside the point. I have also stepped into the aisle in socks...

Also if under cork humidity control is required as well as temperature.

I have a 30 odd bottle wine cabinet at home from one of the Treasury Wine promotions and have a private wine storage locker at MW Wines in Melbourne.

First Christmas party for the season last night at ESP in Melbourne. This was the line up. Unfortunately the Run Rig was corked. We still managed to enjoy ourselves though.

Just did my first ever screenshot booking and first Lifemiles booking in general. MEL-BKK-NRT on Thai in J Took 2 emails and about 30 minutes on the phone to process the payment. 2 x 40,000 miles +US$173 This website forum and all of the info to be found here continues to pay dividends.

Dinner at Old Kingdom in Collingwood. We started with the Luke Lambert 2015 Chardonnay (highly recommended) and Salt/Pepper/Chilli Calamari before moving into the (Peking) ducks and (Aussie) pinot Sorry the photo is not the best. Bass Phillip Crown Prince 2010 Yeringberg 2010 Bindi Original...

Sadly lacking photos but a bit of BYO at Upper Modern Bistro in Hong Kong (amazing food FYI) led to the consumption of a Domaine Bruno Clair Corton-Charlemagne 2010 followed by a Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques 2007. Both amazing wines with great structure and quite powerful...

Agreed. Everyone i know that has tried the 2012 Thousand Candles'hates' it! Pass.

Sounds like a great place to visit. I'll be in Burgundy and Rhone in June/July but unfortunately won't make it to Bordeaux to check it out. Hopefully someone does soon and includes it in a trip report.

Celebrating the end of two decent projects at work with a couple of knock off drinks.

That's a great champagne, one of the best i've ever seen for business class. Would be more than happy with that in F!

Great trip report. Really enjoying riding along with you.

Yet for similar dates if you just want to go BNE to YVR return they want over $1600. Crazy stuff.

thanks for the link

The SC Pannell 2013 Syrah will be hard to find as it was the Jimmy watson trophy winner so you will most likely only find it through auction. I note that Langgtons currently have a few going. The St Henri i could find here. Museum Wine Shop

Do some research and buy the best vintage you can (1971?). Have a look on cellartracker for up to date reviews on how the wine is holding up. If your budget will stretch go for an Oenotheque. These are later releases and will go longer that a regular DP. Also if you buy it retail they should...

a good showing of a tempranillo from ribera made from old vines. Good structure. Probably needs about 5 more years to really come together. Retails at about $90. I bought it at auction for about $50.

The other layer to the joke being that the character Stephanie has a DRC in her cellar which is the only bottle Miles isn't allowed to open.
