Rockford Stonewall Room - Sunday 12th Jan 2014

[RooFlyer]

Just got my 2008 Basket Case magnum today:

Beautifully presented - it would make a great gift - especially for yourself :mrgreen:



(ps yes, I did check - there is a bottle in there (wrapped again in black tissue paper).

Looks fantastic. Are they still available?

I am tempted to order one over the phone, but I really should restrain myself...

for a present of course...because you don't drink alcohol?

Pretty sure they would still be available. When I ordered (about the time of the AFF visit - shipping delayed due to the heat), they said 'limit of one, but you should be able to get a second if you leave it a bit'.

yes the Magnum should have been on my shopping list that day... What was the price again...?

 

[Buzzard]

I'm pretty sure the price was $180.

1800 088 818 will give you an answer.

Call me, call me now (insert husky voice)

10 years wait Medhead, clearly your'e better than me, the 2010 bin 150 we had tonight was wonderful, even if it was around 4 to 9 years too early...

But when drinking a bottle of wine each, who can complain

YMMV ;-)

 

[medhead]

I have drinking wine and keeping wine. Also not many people who appreciate a keeping wine.

I appreciate keeping it, however are lousy doing so... at least I'm a vintage release or two behind....

Sounds like a great night in the medhead household (stoneless)

Slightly OT:

Having cleared the monumental Christmas credit card bill, I have recently made my first mail order purchase from Rockford. Apparently there is now a limited quantity of 2010 basket press available on cellar door. Unfortunately I could not get any via phone/mail order, but purchased a case of other wines anyway, and have joined the very end of the list of stone wall candidates. Here's hoping I live long enough to make it!

Once again, a huge thanks to Buzz for a lovely day back in January
