Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[afro]

I've used these guys a few times, and been happy with the range and choices - The Other Bordeaux

I’ll stick with local cabs at that price range.

You will(also) know you are getting old when , after visiting Dan's , your most significant purchase was a slab of zero alcohol beer

So sad.

 

[tgh]

So sad.

NO.. it is not really sad at all .. I am extremely well for my age and I am quite philosophical about a requested reduction in alcohol consumption.
I expected to have withdrawal symptoms but in reality I have already drunk my fill and will very slowly quaff my way through my little cellar with no top ups.

Musar vertical last night. Not shown was one of their whites as well. Really great and generous tasting.

What a tasting! Any thoughts in general about Musar?

It's not my first rodeo with the wine. I've always been a fan and this confirmed it. Very age worthy too. I'll post the tasting notes when they've been written up.

Why you should cellar your wine. Tonight it was enjoyable having our evening drink together.

At least get a “proper” glass!

Dont know the wine but is that a Woolworths “brand”?

I could do that / but at the local pizza / pasta place 200mtrs from where I live which is operated by my good friends I don’t think I could stoop so low as to tell them their glassware not up to AFF standard when my bill will be sub $30.

Hang on weren’t you sooking recently about a restaurant in Bris that was too expensive? Please show their glassware as their may be a correlation?

Me “spooking”! Not been to that specific restaurant as I said, but most good ones here use Riedel or Zalto etc.

Sooking not spooking - bloody banana benders who hit the sauce early

It’s important for the wine bill to exceed the food bill by at least 100%. No accounting for some. Each to their own. Youngsters can be a problem. Approaching end of life date is more appropriate for us. (and not for the wine!)

remember if you don’t travel first class your children will.

Gathered our ‘new’ OT friends last night to replace the ‘old boring’ OT friends whom we normally venture there with:



The FROISSART I bought from Langtons last CD sale - had never heard of it but it was SUPERB - going back to them on Tue to see if they will honor another pack at same price.

It is a great wine and a great favourite in our household - I actually need to buy more
