No

Will try - thank you!

The gamays from the Rutherglen district (just next door to Beechworth) are also great to try, I like Pfeiffers take on it.

Interesting talking to the place where I stayed in the Loire Valley the Sydney guys who run the B&B think their Gamay is coughe and won't have it on their wine list. I must admit I bought a local one and didn't enjoy it

Perhaps stepping out of my knowledge sphere, but is gamay the grape they use to make Beaujolais?

Yep, red beaujolais

@boomy and @penegal can you just agree or choose to disagree on any subject I have been on the juice with both of you and have learnt a lot. Just saying.

We weren't disagreeing?

I was just clarifying a typo...

Same grape, same vintage, different regions.
The cheapest of the bunch (Marius) was the best.

 

[boomy]

Some random Chardonnays.
Similar price range, all very good.

All heads wine, early vintages all round(mostly).

Head red really surprised us all,the 2012 was the top pick for the ladies, a bit of complexity of red fruit , smooth and light weighted ,only a little tannins left. 2013 show more tannins, less fruity ,more medium body wine.

The old vine Grenache are the one that got me hooked up back in the days, not as popular as Shiraz in SA. 2010 finished strong ,red fruit, taste clean. 2012 fall a bit short on the finish,easy drinking,the ladies loves it.

Both blonde are blend of Shiraz viognier, wine of the night for the guys, I always found it taste a bit weird when this blend ages,drinking well now.nothing wrong with the wine, just me.

The brunette’s are my favourite here, both shows really well, it needs more time, I think it just started to age a bit, still plenty of black fruit and tannins.a bigger wine than contrarian.

The contrarian’s are not far behind from the brunettes,it’s savoury, the 10 was Barossa fruit and 12 was Eden fruit, both are not as jammy as other SA Shiraz,a little less bodies than brunettes , this drinks better than the brunettes at this stage.

A couple of nice bottles last night. The Bests is still powering along.

Sublime
The perfume is so strong and beautiful.

Been far too long since I’ve posted in this thread.

Some terrible Aussie blend tonight (2015), paired with a starter of lamb and halloumi skewers…



…followed by vegetarian.



It’s grass fed.

Plus salad and sweet potato “chips”.

Beautiful wine, still very young but already so elegant.

Great expression of Hunter Valley Red, basically a declassified Maurice O’Shea at less than half of the cost.

Some new juice turned up today, I couldn’t resist opening one. It belongs in the thread…..

 

[boomy]

Great value Riesling for the < $25 bracket.
Drank over three days and it kept improving.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Drank over three days and it kept improving.

Jeez how good would it have been over a month or 2?

By then it would be iced Riesling
