I fancy going a little off piste here, anyone have any real experience with th Fo's Barolo's on offer? High level google searches seem to indicate that the A$ prices seem broadly on par with the odd high end Sydney or Melbourne bottle shop. Was looking at the below in particular.
Vinomofo - Raise the Barolo Pack - Mixed Case
Have been buying Giovanni Rosso for years. Incredible producer. In the past i was happily procuring them from the importer but couldn't resist when i saw VM's offers. Snapped up 9 cases given some were $50 - $90 cheaper than the importer. When it comes to Barolo, Bordeaux, Burgundy provenance is the key. The cynic in me though surely these have been paralleled imported but i was guaranteed they'd arrived in an air-conditioned container direct from Italy. I couldn't help but try a few myself and all have been in perfect condition so pretty chuffed with my purchase. I've bought some Manzone in the past. Pretty fair for the money, but not in the same league as Giovanni IMHO.
