Not a bad drop after all these years..the cork disintegrated when I tried to open it so pushed it in, and had to sieve the wine into a decanter! View attachment 113083

You need an ah-so

I hate to be a peasant, but just grabbed a 6 bottle carton of cleanskin "soft red" from Dan Murphy's upon a friend's recommendation. For 3.50 a bottle it is fantastic "house wine"

The Ashton Hills is 2010.

Shared with a good friend in NZ on Friday afternoon / evening.

Started with the Stella Bella Chardonnay, moved on to the ColerIne, and rounded out the steak meal with the RWT.

2008 Pinot Noir - probably left it a little too long, but still very nice.

2010 Brown Brothers Shiraz went down a treat last night.

That satisfies the criteria for a 'nice wine I have drunk' so nothing peasant-y at all!

Fabulous Pyramid Valley Cabernet Franc.

As is often my wont, a couple from off the grid tonight:

Caught up with some very old friends for NYE in YVR. We had a wonderful home cooked meal and a selection of BC wines.

All four bottles were good, but this Pinot was the pick. Made by an old Italian winemaker who has been in BC for some time. The guy has the winery up for sale.

I can’t afford to buy his vineyard, but I’d happily buy some of his wine.

The line-up from NYE was pretty epic

Gladstone region near Martinborough



Fairview Estate. Nice wines and very knowledgeable wine maker, John. Worth the visit. Pinot is lovely.



Swiss family made wines. Interesting styles, seemed more subtle and softer than others in the area. SV sur lie is interesting with subtle mellow butter/yeast tones.

Plus, you don't expect me to share the Lafite or Bin 90a do you?
