Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Daver6]

It is just so tough when you are in a foreign place and you have to try wines you are unfamiliar with @Cruiser Elite. In the US it took me a while to figure what reds were drinkable.

Don't they sell Cullen there?

Actually @Daver6 the former CEO of Treasury Wines used to stay at the Cove in California so Penfolds was available. We have a wine cool room there with Silver Oak, some bubbles and some Penfolds 128. Have not tried to use MossWood’s international sales. I go to Costco and Bevmo as they are really close by.

Was in Mexico last week and bought a random bottle of red to try local, but forgot about it in my carry on and was confiscated at airport security. Maybe I dodged a bullet

This is one time when I’d probably take some notice of reviews by a (local) wine writer.

I’ve been sitting on this for a while, I think it was part of a VM mixed pack. Very, very smooth.

Oh my....this is rather brilliant (presuming one enjoys aged champagne)

A night at my parents with my cousin and his son.

Dad brought out this.



It was a present from a neighbour and unknown provenance before it made it to dads wine fridge. Questionable given the ullage and cousin slowly opened but only the top of the cork came out. Very slowly extracted the bottom half and decanted. Nose was showing definitely on the wane, a bit musty and muted. Left for an hour and it opened up a little but we’ll past it’s prime

Ate with some seriously big eye fillets, mushrooms, roasted beetroot and jacket portatoes



Then my cousin (up from Sydney) brought out one that came from his collection. It travelled well.



They were still thirsty and dad went back to his “cellar” under his bar and found an unopened case of 6. Definitely the WOTN. Sadly I could only have a half glass as I was driving. But looking forward to more from that case

How about the Eileen Hardy? I have a few of them waiting

Also drinking beautifully. I did decant it as I was a bit late getting it out of the wine fridge, but enjoyed it more than the Moss Wood.

Drinking perfectly. Enjoyed with a nice scotch fillet.

Both can be great imo, but I like Tassie world class sparkles……
