Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[boomy]

Theme was cheap and cheerful. So the idea is something on the cheaper end of the spectrum that's half decent. Also something that vaguely went with fish and chips. It also was an extremely hot evening in Perth last night, hence mainly whites.

Interesting theme... I recognise that Seppelt sparkling from a recent Bud gift and it’s definitely more cheap than cheerful but there are some half decent wines there that will only give you mild headache the morning after

Well spotted and correct source. It wasn't one of the original wines but got pulled out later in the night. It was probably the only poor wine of the night to be honest.

Nice Yarra valley wine for dinner.

Today we were supposed to be onboard SQ Suites flying to NYC celebrating NYE in the air with our best friends Dom and Krug but it wasn’t meant to be...

At least we can have lunch with another SQ favourite, even though it’s the one being served down the back



Happy New Year!

What’s everyone’s plans for New Years?

I’m thinking of some Ruinart NV and raiding the “good” red wine cabinet.

Sending off 2020 is a great excuse to raid the “good” red wine cabinet

Similar to @blackcat20 we also going to have homemade pizzas at our Italian friend's home, washed down with champagne and Barolo.

The Ruinart changed to Bollinger Grand Annee 2005. The raided red was 2006 Langmeil Freedom Shiraz.

Was pleasantly surprised with a Tasmanian Apogee. It was really good and I tend to only drink reds and bubbles.

We saw 2021 in with this beauty. A soft elegant Shiraz, unlike those big bold Barossa reds. Not at all tannic so you don't wake up next morning with a thumping head. Went perfectly with a medium rare steak.

Aptly named wines, you won't be disappointed.

Went perfectly with a medium rare steak.

Is that a hangar steak?

It's a 45 day aged King Henry cut rib.
Hope that helps.
