Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[9171]

Hey there, possibly way out of decorum, just joined site, but after cruising flight things got bored and found this wine thread. I love wine. Not a snob, but value hints. My new local has some "Schild" Barossa GSM at 2 for $32. Trying some now, not unhappy :0 But have never come across this before. Is this a usual pricing?

Theme last night was wines from Seth Efrica. Some solid examples that Pinotage can be decent. Notes here Grand Cru (Perth) tasting group - Wines of South Africa - The Auswine Forum

Decided this should match nicely to kassler chops and sauerkraut. Being "topped up" it's not overly oxidative. Really bright and fresh with some cashews, preserved lemons and amazing salinity. Should match very nicely with the food. I could drink gallons of this stuff.

We had a Bottle of the D’Morgenzon “DMZ” Chenin Blanc 2018 at wine club recently. Not one person got close to guessing it

I took that one and I'm pretty sure everyone pinged it as chenin blanc. However, the theme was South African wines, so that likely made a difference.

Most people went with French

If only I’d known you were there. We were peering in the window last night to see how many were there and then went next door to Delicatessen which was good but not as good as George’s

You may have seen us if you were peering in, we were on the long table near front window

The King of WA is having a birthday today. Cheers to him!

A few years ago when a member of my wine club hosted a vertical of the Joseph Myatt Reserve, it was the 2009 that won WOTN. I think that was ~3 years ago or so now. Gosh this really is good and still going strong.

2007 Penfolds Kalimna is drinking nicely.

For this specific bottle, I’ve experimented with an innovative cellaring technique.

The bottle spent most of its life in climate controlled wine fridge.

But for about 36 hours in 2011 and another 8 hours in 2022 it was stored about three metres deep in Brisbane River flood waters.



Hooray for the switch to stelvin.
