I found a bottle of wine that I didn’t realise I had. A 30 year old Hunter semolina. I thought I might be pouring it down the sink. How wrong was I. Absolutely great and probably near its best.

I really love the old Aussie labels that refer to french wine regions!

Goes to show we didn’t know our semillons from our Chardonnay or our Chablis in those days.

There are many wonderful things in Istanbul, wine is not one of them. Good thing we bought plenty in France to drink in our hotel room each night

 

[TheRealTMA]

Wonderful wines. Valbuena was stunning.

Theme last night for the tasting was Pinot 2016 or older. The 2010 Vosne Romanee took out WOTN.

Trying to work out the size of the amaro bottles… must be small-ish at 5 quid…

Lovely Shiraz that kept opening up the longer it was in the decanter.
Wagyu scotch fillet paired with it.

A very nice Victorian Shiraz. Not a big wine, but I should have decanted it earlier. Medium body and went well with the chicken palmy

Interesting wine from Orange tonight.



I really enjoyed it. Well balanced and nice with the lamb.
But also a wine that has received a couple of awards in LOTFAP. The winemaker is my godson. Trained by Phillip Shaw.

Interesting wine from Orange tonight.

Angullong make some very good wines. Plus a nice cellar door in Millthorpe.

 

[boomy]

Good match to chilli garlic prawns for dinner tonight.

To celebrate @JohnM's birthday today I went out for lunch with just MrsDaver6 and we enjoyed a wine he'd hate Well not quite. we just happened to go to lunch today. Anyway, happy birthday @JohnM It must be his 21st today....for the 6th or 7th time at least

A very classy wine. Needs a few years in the cellar to rise to its best.
