Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[TheRealTMA]

Someone likes keeping the bottles we really like (or mean something)

I thought you were house cleaning in preparation for a move? Time to declutter! There will be more.

Packing does not equal throwing out memories. There will never be another first bottle of Dom consumed to celebrate moving in together so it stays.

Looks like Rudy Kurniawan's kitchen in the background

He seemed to favour Burgundy bottles though

I can relate blackcat20 - I still have the empty bottles for the best half dozen I have drunk at the bottom of my wine rack. Just for reminiscing...

See you both tonight

You helping us move wine boxes then?

 

[QF WP]

Empty or full

I thought we were going out for BYO dinner (edit: tomorrow night) - better get to a DM so I can utilise my $10 off Amex deal and pick up a decent red for you...

Dinner is tomorrow; we've kept a bottle aside for it.

Full ones

Sorry I got excited - got dinner tonight with my best man who also lives here. What does one buy a person who doesn't drink wine??

Some of the wines consumed over the weekend:



Friday lunchtime Stonewell Shiraz in QF F lounge.



Followed by champagne dinner with friends/AFFers.



The Dom gifted by Emirates and Comtes by Qantas.

 

[jaysquared]

Any amber wines. Looks like rose, but made of white grapes and rich in taste.

Birthday luncheon Sunday at Customs House BNE.





Browsing the wine list I noticed Cullen Diana Madeline 2012 price is bit odd.



This is one of my most favourites Aussie reds and I've never seen it priced so low in a restaurant. Needless to say we've ordered quickly, hoping it wasn't a mistake. Well, there was one mistake on the menu, they run out of 2012 so offered us the 2010



Funny the price of Diana Madeline in one of Brisbane's finest restaurants is same as Dan Murphy's.

Superb! They were kind enough to decant it for 30 min.

Boomy we have similar taste buds it seems. I generally take a DM and a bottle of bubbly if we are going out to dinner with friends.

I only have a few bottles, keeping them tucked away for now. Didn't see and specials on DM in recent years.

Can we be friends?
