Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

This was surprisingly good. Fireplace restaurant IHG Sanctuary Cove. Markup was a little eye watering!

Last night at Jailhouse grill in Launceston:



Now the chance for the residents experts here - which one was unanimously voted superior to other by 3 who consumed?

I would not even bother to post a pic of the truly coughpy Freycinet Special Vintage Sparkling at $100 - sheep dip at its finest

Given that the BP is still in nappies I'd say the Octavious was the better of the two.

Gotta be Yalumba. 18 was great vintage in Barossa and Rockford BP 21 is way too young to impress now.

Some beautiful wines with friends last night. Yes you can't really compare a Grenache to a Shiraz but we all agreed that if you had to pick one to drink, it would be the Mr. Riggs.

Isn’t it amazing how after a couple of sherbets some young bucks can turn into the ‘Worlds Greatest Experts’ on returning First Class flts EU-OZ but when requested to show hard cold facts on their phones all of a sudden said flts disappear into oblivion?

Anyways the plonk stood up:



Interesting also that my 19yo chauffeur who clearly could not drink last night noted that he gained greater knowledge in 3 hours last night at OT than he did in 13 years of formal schooling

Travelled all the way to India to find a wine that I really loved


I liked Tasmanian Dornfelders so this one appeared on the wine list at the Oberoi Agra so just had to try it


Absolutely amazing wine.
