Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Daver6]

How was the '13 Black Label?

Unmistakably Coonawarra. I'd say just entering its drinking window with a long life ahead of it. Thoroughly enjoyable actually.

Bindi to the rescue.

Tuesday dinner at The Olive Tree Restaurant - Seafood & Steak Sth Melbourne



Wednesday dinner at Steakhouse restaurant in Hawthorn East VIC | The Meat & Wine Co



Great wines, food and company.
I’ve missed Melbourne and it’s BYO steak joints.

When you cancel your upcoming Noosa trip and sitting here watching cricket (the Ette HATES cricket) one does need some lubrication when plotting next 2 weeks agenda



Edit: Hot and dusty in MEL today so 2nd bottle staminade reqd to assist decision making process

Who had the best steak?

Who had the best steak?

Olive Tree, both for quality and price.
Particularly when you BYO wine glasses

Champagne & Sashimi lunch.
Perfect combo on a hot and humid day in Brisbane.

I think that just drinking those bottles by himself at $5 corkage, boomy is going to be ahead.

Realized that I missed posting drinks on Day 3 of the cricket (Taylors):





Not a patch on the first 2 days, but drinkable. They had a great display:



Had to try this one as the afternoon wore on…



Hmmm, tempting and a nice display box

How was the platinum?

 

[TheRealTMA]

Celebrating 40 years of the Golden Crown in Ashgrove with a feast tonight. Sadly it’s closing in 10 days.


(ps: Even well known ABC drinker, @RooFlyer, managed to cope with the Chardonnay on the right.)

How was the platinum?

It’s superb - it’s a label I really rate and enjoy.

 

[boomy]

Current SQ J champagne instead of the usual Charles Heidsieck. I don’t mind the Piper Vintage, it’s quite nice!



Found the perfect movie to match

Last night was the last practice session b4 the big boys go at it today:


L to R clear ranking of Champs - CH and TP right up there on my go to list - LP and BR were ok - certainly don’t knock yer sox off - LEA hardly stood up beside the others.

PG in there for one of the kiddies who doesn’t drink Champs - Baileys topped the night off.

Now to prepare for todays onslaught

 

[Daver6]

With lobster thermidore for Xmas lunch today. Apparently it's a tad warm outside in Perth. I refuse to venture out to find out.

 

[Daver6]

Not exactly a wine. Intermission time...
