Lips, don't unpurse.

But thanks :) Is Margaret River a realistic producer for Malbecs?

It would seem so from this tasting. We were all quite surprised at how well wines from MR showed. Goes to show the value of a double blind tasting.

My personal conclusion was that while there were some decent wines some were pretty average and none were great.
 
The only Shiraz to buy are those from McLaren Vale as most others are inferior IMO and the best place to get the best wine deals is from Skye Cellars in SA. As a member the special deals they offer are amazing. Just bought their latest 'Thank you' offer of $300+ per dozen for just $100 for members - so good.

Just up the road towards La Morra from the fabulous Elio Altare (now run by Silvia with the wonderful hair) in the Alborina. Elio Altare

We stayed here for 4 days and ate wonderful Piedmontese food and drank Barolos!
nice - what's with the puzzled look?

What you talkin bout Willis? :eek:

why is it about time?
why should Rockford be dumped now?
what did they do to you?

i don’t understand, you did add an emoji but are you suggesting their sparkling Shiraz is no good? Or just that there are better?

is there something wrong with me because I disagree with tWF and like Rockford wine 🤔
 
@Steady it is ok to like a particular wine like Rockford or anything else.
When I was 21 I started drinking heavy reds that no one else seemed to like.
The 2018 MossWood cab sav is a beauty but is sold out at the winery.

campbell likes it, he also suggested that the black shiraz doesn’t need anymore cellar time, should drink up, I asked that question on twf few years ago.
