Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

I'll share a 67 with you any day!

My father put aside some french stickies from the birth year of each of us. I still hold every other sticky against it. Oh, and they are long gone...

I was able to share a 37 para port with a very good friend for his 70th.It certainly is special to be able to do something like that.

I can't help ordering a 67 when I see it on a menu. Typically an Armagnac all something similar.....on several occasions (stupidly) ordered from the wine list :shock:

BTW what's this SFSC rubbish in your profile!

Just decanted my last "old" red, '93 Hill of Grace, to let it breathe for a while! Any bets on how it will go?

The Hill of Grace was indeed beautiful. Cork broke, and that had me a little worried. But the depth of flavour was wonderful, and was an excellent accompaniment of the duck breast with orange glaze.

Don't know whether this is an approved method, but if I have a broken cork, or where I have to push the remains of the cork into the bottle, I use a coffee filter paper (in the filter cone) and decant the wine through it, removing bits of cork, and dislodged crust.

Sounds appropriate to me

Fraud on a jaw-dropping scale: how wine-taster Remy Kurniawan was sniffed out

Very interesting!

Amazing journalism....can't even get his name right in the article title.

Read in a couple of different places on the internet that Dan Murphy's Cleanskin Tasters Choice Clare Vally Riesling 2013 ($7.99) was a nice drop, so I picked one up yesterday to have with lunch of linguine with prawns, chilli, garlic, lemon juice, white wine and olive oil - went down very nicely with lunch whilst enjoying the late winter sunshine!

If you like Riesling, it's definitely worth trying.

I'm glad they got Rudy - not that I had heard of him, but fraudsters never deserve to benefit. Enjoy your less than salubrious digs now ...

Anybody who has Rothschild wine in their cellar might be a little sad today, with the passing of the head of the Rothschild family.
