Yes you'll need your Wine Front subscription to see their reviews, as Steady confirmed. I think $50 a year is well worth it for me. Those guys work really hard. And their reviews are excellent.

There's only one expert that really matters - and that's your own taste buds. We're all wired to like different things, which is great. So what I read of your post is good: You know what you really like, what you think is okay, and what you don't like. I adopted the same approach to wine...

No. I never took that all important step to write in to Wendouree and be invited onto the list. So my Wendouree buys, which are very limited to date, come from Langtons (and also 2 from your fine collection!). I'm taking the approach that if I don't know what I'm missing, then I won't be...

Lucky you! Yes, I held out. But it was the most tempted I've been. If I can survive that, then I should hopefully last until 1 October. How long is your buying amnesty in place?

Woke up this morning and realised I had mixed them up! (A long day!). I thought I would log on to see somebody would point out my mix up. Post above now corrected. It was the Clonakilla. Paid $75, but see from Winosphere it was $85 at the cellar door on release. Thank you. Enjoy your day all ...

To celebrate not caving in to buying the latest 2016 release wines from Serrat, I thought I'd open this midweek quaffer! :lol: I paid $75 for it through a private sale recently. But stuff it. I saved a small fortune with my self-imposed wine buying amnesty. I'm sure you won't be surprised to...

A quick update: I'm over a month into my self-imposed wine buying ban. So far no wagons have been fallen off! I was only seriously tempted when my Serrat member email came in. Alas, I'll have to miss the 2016 releases (or pay through the nose later, I guess). I unsubscribed from all wine...

Mad wine that works ALERT! It's the Ravensworth Seven Months White Blend 2016 http://2blokesintrouble.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/if-india-made-coughtails/ http://www.vivino.com/users/warren-dav/reviews/72943902 2016 Ravensworth Seven Months, Australia, New South Wales, Southern New South...

Most of the wine you see in the pictures was share a case swaps, amongst the regular Sydney Wine Lovers. Delectable Blue brought along a fine aged bubbly from Tassie, the Diana Madeleine 2004 was opened, as was AnonymousCoward's Domain A 2000. That's more than we usually open. But it was DB's...

Shame, Sammy. If you can, it would be lovely to catch up again. The wine share bottles and contribution to lunch are raring to go: See you soon, Sydney ...

Aahhh, QAZ! I log on to give a luke warm Wozza 90 for the 6ft6 Geelong Pinot Noir 2015, and see one of my favourite Pinots (the Kupe Escarpment) is: LESS THAN $70! What are you trying to do to me?!! I'm on a buying amnesty until 1 October! Back to the Pinot - if you like your cool climate...

Re: Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White Better, AC. The oak was in pefect step and balance with the aged fruit, the fine acid line and the grainy tannins. There was no buttery or creaminess here. Just tobacco laced goodness. It reminded me of an aged Whiskey. That peaty kind of...

Re: Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White Just trying the back-up wine to my 1999 themed recent birthday dinner: the Bass Phillip Old Cellar Chardonnay 1999 I chose wrongly. This would have killed the two Whites I did select (the Lovedale 98 and the Vat 1 99). The best White of...

Through prayer and a sense of conviction on this issue, I have decided to stop buying wine for three and half months. Why? I have probably around 350 bottles of lovely wine. And I am consuming them slower than the rate I am buying them. I need a reset. I have already cut back my consumption...

Good to hear you are well. I do like some of the TWE range. But my current tastes do lean towards the lighter, more nuanced wines. Although I do like a big wine bomb when it's in balance. Balance and character/personality are key for me. As many of the TWE wines were quite big. You really...

Hope you are well my friend. Long time no speak. I had my first MSV wine the other day. The Sophia 2007. It wasn't my style of wine, unfortunately. It was big on meths (15% ABV - I reckon that was rounded down) and highly concentrated currant, Christmas cake flavours. The fruit didn't stand up...

Great that so many of you can make our next Sydney AFF Wine Lovers catch up. I've just booked a table of 10 at Ambar for 12:30 pm, 4 July 2017. (For those not familiar with its location, head to the corner of Martin Place and Castlereagh St and you will see some steps off Martin Place...

A few of us attended the TWE Sydney tasting at the SCG last night. All the usual winery suspects were there. But there was little to shout about. Here's some general observations I made: - the Seppelt Drumborg Riesling 2016 was excellent. Worthy of its high scores. Always great bang for...

I'm pretty confident, TR TMA. Especially if you like a lighter, more focussed, European style of Red. (And you're reading this thread)! If you don't like, I'm sure your Brissie wine loving friends will share the rest of the case with you. So you are not out of pocket for the remainder...

I spotted that Two Tonne review and am going to buy. A 96 from Wine Front at $42 is too good to pass up. It even has a crazy drinking window for a PN, making a 6 pack an easy option. Speaking of Wine Front, I immediately jumped with an online cellar door purchase of a town, winery, winemaker...
