Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Freya - perhaps my favourite 2017 riesling (alternatively, Henschke Julius, though still yet to open a Duke's Magpie Hill Reserve)

Piron Morgon - good gamay, but I still prefer pinot :)

Liked the 2017 chardonnay more than 2014 and the pinot, though the latter improved over 2-3 days

Preferences: Pooley > Stella Bella, Clarence House > Maude


This is actually claimed to be off the oldest planted vines in the world.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say that :)
 
Had this at Waterfront Southbank before men’s tennis final - Cape Mentelle ties I believe?

I had never heard of them - cobber with me choosed it - would def order again.

David Hohnen, founder of Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay: Interview with David Hohnen, the man behind Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay.

Murray McHenry is the son of Steve and Hazel McHenry, the publicans of Steve's, the iconic Nedlands Swan River colonial-style foreshore pub near UWA in years gone by (now re-developed as a restaurant, winestore and units). He's David's brother-in-law. The wine you show is named after Hazel who ran Steve's for many years after Steve's early death.

I swilled many a beer at Steve's as a UWA student living in an on-campus residential college in the late 1960s. A 10 oz beer ('pot') was 19 cents in 1968 :). $2 went a long way on a Friday night...:D.
