That's a pretty good price for it!

Yes. If I had more in the wine fund I'd be all over that!

United Cellars has some very good prices but I for one get a bit annoyed by how often they ring!

They will call less often if you suggest it. Tell them to call once a month or once every 3 months. They are quite accommodating.

fat glasses aren't they.....but how do you like the yangarra?

I picked up a six pack of Vickery Watervale 2016 Riesling from Langtons - worked out at a little over $10 a bottle. Hoping it will be good!

Awesome buy. High on my buy list. According to Kim Brebach (bestwines under 20), this and most 2016 SA rieslings are sensational.

I think you mean Shiraz by Yangarra Estate for United Cellars - just as with Kemenys Hidden Labels, [post=1484879]they're not exactly the same[/post]

Yes, real fat boys.
I like the Yangarra shiraz. Very good value.

That's the one qaz and made by winemakers Peter Fraser and Charlie Seppelt just like the real label, even using grapes from the same paddocks. It is not a hidden label wine, it's provenance clearly indicated.

Just fielded a call from Cracka marketing who wanted to now how I enjoyed the Chalambar. Really, it hasn't been delivered yet! Might have to place them on the do not call register.

I bought it after reading one of Kim's articles. It arrived yesterday ... Just need the warm weather to arrive so I can drink it!

Kim recommends 2016 Leo Buring and Jim Barry, both of which are $15.

Nice one, I got some of the Red Meritage. I was tempted by the 2016 Reserve Shiraz but chickened out

Got the 2016 carton yesterday (strangely missing the other carton it should have come with - probably courier error). Looks like it was intended for a French speaking market based on labeling.

Can't work out much - it doesn't specify a region, just "South Australia". 14.5% alc/vol. Barcode is 9 326838 006092 if that helps anyone! Not typical labeling - it's grey, red and gold on the front. Oh yeah, and it's cork.

Not tried it yet. 2016 still scares me - expecting to taste Ribena at this stage! Chris75, you've been to cellar door (based on post in Vinomofo thread), did you get any information about it?

 

[beefarmer]

Don't laugh at this question.....which is better, a Houghton Jack Mann or a penciled rwt? They are different I know, but quality is quality and marketing is another story. Thanks. Perhaps I could also throw in a meshach rwt comparison which May be a better comparison. Thanks folks.

Excellent price AdMEL? Is that offer still available?

It was part of the Langtons Amex offer of spend $300 get $150 back.

So I opened one and, sure enough, it's sweet, alcoholic grape juice. Terrible stuff. The "Geoff Hardy" and "GMH" brands are now tarnished. Australians are not idiots - it should never have been sold.

So this, on top of a missed carton delivery (choosing sh*tway couriers is not wise) means I'll be having very serious thoughts about buying from any of their brands in future.

My advice - steer clear of the current "tractor" sale.

Overseas sale probably fell over when the wine was tasted.

My Langton's purchases arrived yesterday. I went a safe route of 2x Aromatic Whites and case of Halliday Heavyweights + a couple of Jim Barry Rieslings to make up the minimum purchase. Very happy to read Wozza's positive review of one of the reds, the Hares Chase Ironscraper.
Comparing prices to other sites, happy with the price paid made all the sweeter by Señor Amex credit.

That's very disappointing. Are you going to contact them? I'm now worried about the condition of the Red Meritage. Will report back...

The meritage should be ok. I'll see if the courier indicates pending delivery on Monday and go from there.

will be interested in your view _ I have already drunk a bottle of mine and have no complaints - loved the smoothness of it and as I said previously a great midweek quaffer - I have sent back too many VM purchases in the last 6 months -

Ps- mentioned to my broker about the general view of F& H recently as she was trying to sell me some based on fact I purchased some last year - she said there view was it was good wine and plenty of good feedback - I think I prefer this forums feedback

So when I ring up and arrange a pickup of my remaining 11 she will have no problems on selling them. That's what I want to hear.
