Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Cruiser Elite]

Popped into Rockford yesterday to try the current release wines. Oh my gosh that 2012 Rifle Range Cabernet is stunning. What a fantastic wine and brilliant value for money.

$$$$s? Jjjjjjjjjjjjj

Correct. That's what I paid per bottle yesterday. I'm usually not a fan of young Cabernet, but this was just so approachable. Will be hard to keep my hands off it and let it age.

Her family or the wine? :shock:

 

[QF WP]

OATEK, 6 adults but 2 driving (not me). I've had most of the Pinot.

Her family are okay daver6, no in law thaws here. The wine was basic.

Now tomorrows wine will be very very special

Penfolds 2009 Bin 28 went down well with our roast turkey today.

Actually, had these between 5 today. Seafood coughtails (lobster, bugs and prawns with my homemade sauce), turkey roast dinner, and my home made boiled Christmas pudding. Ham on toast for dinner after that lot.

thanks for the tip - will hopefully visit on Dec 27 and try it!

The standout for us, kindly provided by PJM's son, was the 2008 Cape Grace (small high-end Margaret River producer) cabernet sauvignon that he had socked away for a while. Hit the f* awesome point on the JohnM Highly Technical Wine Evaluation Scale[SUP]TM[/SUP].
