Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[jasonking]

I believe most of you already know my dear old friend Dan. He sent me this today, and I couldn't help myself. As noted in the DM thread, the rest of the order needs a good lie down.

What a coincidence. That's what I have with dinner.
Salute.

 

[Buzzard]

I believe places are still available!

3 places counting the one QF WP is hoping to off load. Includes a never to be repeated deal I have organised with Rockford.

There are quite a few sub $50 wines I'd pick ahead of this one..glad I didn't pay full price. While OK, the bottle I tried recently didn't leave a lasting impression so will revisit next year to see if there's been any improvement..

Agree. Not bad but nothing special. Ok for the discounted price and hopefully will become better in a few years.

At $50 that is not what I want to hear about a wine. There are plenty of great Australian wines in the $20-$40 range, $50+ wines need to be special.

True. It doesn't worth the full price tag but is much better value at $26 after the DM discount.

Flattery will not get you a bottle.
Just the same welcome the compliments.

Tonight I have opened a 2012 Coonawarra Shiraz - I am enjoying this

Grilled lamb cutlets with baked root vegetables, steamed greens and something simple, yet reliable.

My Shiraz tonight went with home grown roast pork, roast root veg and some steamed broccoli, corn and Brussel sprouts

This full flavoured Cab Sav is ready to drink!

And it is a beautiful drop. Wish I had more.

Very satisfying to enjoy wine grown over terrior 500 Million years old.

Coming to the end of a lovely Sunday/Monday bottle. For a straight Grenache, has not suffered at all from being held back a couple of years from release

We do love their Grenache

Well, ultimately Earth is 4.5 billion years old, so that soil is a pup :mrgreen:.
