Very nice

Did it go well with the duck

I'm not sure whether we'd classify some of these as good (AFF Curry on Currie), but the standout was the Smith + Shaw

Was the Bellvale Pinot any good QF WP?

 

[QF WP]

Can't confirm as I didn't drink any of it but will ask penegal to reply

 

[Sedimental]

Ah. The Shaw & Smith must have been very good.

 

[QF WP]

Oh it was. Shrek went out to buy it from a bottle-o around the corner. Very smooth. I owe him/them

There were plenty of great wines on the recent Tour d'Buzzard, but one of the best 'finds' for me was the Turkey Flat fortified Predro Ximenez. Christmas Cake in a glass! $27, or $30 in a presentation box, a couple of my friends will be getting one for Christmas!

The Kies Dedication Shiraz was another good one for me, and delivery has been arranged (with some Klauber Block to round out the dozen). Kies also do a sparking Merlot, which is great value at $27.

Nothing at Rockford surprised but I stocked up on the SVS Flaxman (only available to Stone Wallers actually showing up at the winery). I bought 3, but gave in to the entreaties of pengal and shed one to him; Buzz gave up all 3 of his! I pigged out on more Basket Case too.

Suggest you re-read your original post QF WP .

I enjoyed it, but the 2010 is quite a different style than you will be used to. The 2010 is quite light and floral upfront, but it matures through the palate and has a surprising kick at the end. It is a very well made wine.

The 2008 is a more traditional / rounded wine, and better IMHO. Drinking very well now.

Both are quite acceptable for $15 (retail $30).


(of course if you're not a Pinot Noir person you will probably hate it).

Mmmm. Might stick to Mornington or Tassie pinot from 2010 if that is the case. Thanks for the appraisal penegal.

And Yarra Valley?

 

[Sedimental]

And Yarra Valley?

Yes Yarra Valley too! The 2012/13 vintages were excellent as well as 2010.

Limbering up for the pinot tasting tomorrow night.

still have some of their Madeira at home. The Flying O&G was based in Roma and he'd always bring some with him when he overnighted with us in Winton..payment for a home cooked meal!!

No luck but I will keep an eye on them.

I found this Semillon Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc blend in the cellar. Surprised it's as good as it is after so many years.
