Rockfords discussion

[Buzzard]

I picked up some of the ‘09 Moppa and it’s nice, not as good as the ‘10 but still very enjoyable

anyone tried the 07 BP recently?

I need to visit a mate in NSW that has BP going back to the 90's

Dear Bundy Bear,

We promised to keep you updated with release information for our 2015 Shiraz VP, which is why we are writing to you today.

Unfortunately we have experienced some delays in preparing the wine ready for release – we do apologize for this. We wanted to let you know that we haven’t forgotten you, and there is some good news on the horizon! When your Rockford Rag arrives in the mail in November, we will be pleased to invite you to place an order for the 2015 Shiraz VP, which will be packaged and ready to make its way home to you.

Anyone else get a random delivery notification from Rockford today ?

Says I have a 1kg parcel on the way

Just found this thread, how do I get on the mailing list? Can't visit SA due to covid-19 restrictions.

Just checked my email and I’ve also got delivery notice.

Do they send gifts to pleb members too?

I believe you can phone order - they wont send out basket press or black shiraz for the first couple of years - only the Cab (rifle range), Rod n Spur, (Shiraz/cab) Frugal Farmer (Grenache based) Moppa Springs (GMS), Hand Picked Eden Valley (Riesling) Local Growers (Semillon) and White Frontignac + possibly the Tawney

If you make a small purchase or 2 each year it shouldn't be long before you can get the other 2 over the phone

Yes, I received an email this morning advising a delivery is on the way. I remember some years ago Rockford gifted cork pullers over a period of months. I wonder if they are doing something similar?

For those receiving a package, can we please have no spoilers?

I've ended up with 6 bottles, but will probably drink through my 2019 stocks first

Poor effort. We discovered the Thai Restaurant at Henley Beach has a sweet supply at their outdoor plaza. They know me now.

There was a period of about 9 months where I was not in a position to drink alcohol.
