Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Princess Fiona]

Followed by a couple of beers at Bob's (after Bob Hawke) Bar above Print Hall in the same precinct:

Hey, PF, what do you think of no. 1 son ?!

OMG, retirement is nice when your kids who work away hit town! .

I'm a married woman you know :!:
(However that doesn't mean I can't window shop )
Very nice indeed JohnM

:shock::shock::shock: That raises the obvious question: who were the troglodyte males you were in the company of :evil:.

A mature family member. They then raved about said wine when it was actually just a little past its best....

As they say, you can get your appetite anywhere - as long as you eat at home .

Probably because it was badly opened....

He did a fine job of opening it, but didn't seem to think it possible that I could do the same....

Thinking more about this, 'mature' is an oxymoron.

That's a very wintery meal for late spring in Brisbane! Especially with a forecast temperature of 32°!

We wanted to eat meat and roast veg -after all, my wife and f-i-l are from England and my m-i-l is from Wales

One may say that often it's not only the wine that is past its best buy date...

 

[QF WP]

That's what I am talking about

Actually, I thought the only one word oxymoron was "intuition". But given the current government there may be more...

What was it like? if I see it on the shelf at my local BWS should I grab it....

Meat looks a little underdone for a Queenslander.

 

[TheRealTMA]

Oh forgot. Brisbane tonight... With scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

Whilst perhaps not in the league of other wines posted, I am enjoying this tonight with a chicken and mushroom filo. Not as 'earthy' as some Côtes du Rhônes I have had, but still very drinkable.

You are right. It was really the phrase 'mature family member' in the context of the post. I'm still flabbergasted .

May I suggest a D'ANGELO Reserve Pinot Noir from Officer just outside Melbourne's South East.

And was really just an average $10 table wine...

That is a sensational drop amaroo. I first had on a tour over there. They served it over lunch. Duck IIRC.

Where did you get it? I haven't been able to find it anywhere in Australia? Price guide?
