Seriously? 2005 389 in a restaurant for $110 less Member discount $15 = $95?

Very nice!

Being used to quality restaurants making huge markups on wine it’s always nice to score a bargain, like when Diana Madeline was offered cheaper than retail in BNE.

Preference: Dog Point > Arlewood > Shawdowfax > In Dreams > Tuerong

They were my second bottles of the Dog Point and Arlewood - definitely seemed better this time around

Would love to hear about the Sami-Odi!

I wasn’t too impressed on first opening - but it was mighty mighty wine by the end :D

Touring some vineyards today and back for round 2 tonight

How’s the oak on the 2000 Maurice’s O’Shea? It was very dominated when I first tried this in cellar door 15years ago.i still haven’t open my first bottle yet.

Everything was in balance once it opened up, I really enjoyed it.

I had this tucked away thinking it was a ‘14, I noticed on CellarTracker it was ‘11 and was worried it might have been past it.
