A hearty Durif would have bolstered your constititution down in beautiful yet cold Tassie. A shame, but you at least Veni Vidied and Vamoused the five remaining rascals back to the Fo. Such a great policy as we all know. I must say I bought myself a 6 er as a New Years Present. Twas the Barossan...

Have Dru and his brother made up yet?

The Reaper shiraz I think mentioned last page was a winner for me as well. Last sat night, had that Fo cabernet, French sounding one, made by a woman winemaker and her hubby is the viticulturist. Three of us loved it for the complexity , the body and flavour and the fine very long tannins which...

I think it was another one

Great read. Thanks.

havent seen this monicker for a while. happy drinking old boy.

There's one from a while back, Thistledown. I think two British guys who set up in the Barossa, one a master of wine. I remember one of the shhhpiels on the back label of their shiraz, something to do coming to the fork of the road and taking the road less travelled. Nice wording i thought and I...

The Craneford 2019 Fire Station at $35 down from $130 befits the high prices that winemakers ask but I just can't do it. It has some good numbers but reading between the lines, it's still young so like a newly married bride or groom, you just don't know what you are going to get in a decades...

Lost Wolf Shiraz then, I bought the 2017 in November, had one only and it was ridiculously good to match the ridiculous label. There are so many going at the Fo that you cannot possibly trial all.

How come no Patriti BSV ?

I had one of the 2012 Maverick GSM's recently and it was a beauty from memory. I am also off to the Vic market tomorrow to grab some more 2023 Vic pinot and in a previous post above, WanD properly provided the prized purveyor perfectly and precisely. What gets me about it are the delightful...

Screwcap if you want the vino to last, absolute no brainer.

I went back and searched. I can't do a fifty bucker mate. I was there at 25 Next time

Surely you do not have to spend a hunge on a nice shiraz ? I know that some of my 5 or 6 December24 Fo buys were supurb and when i would want to spend that coin.....hold on a bit...if i tasted a hundred bucker i would want that to taste 5 times better than A Fo 20 bucker on discount?...and it...

I hate to say it but I will. It's about time the odds got even. All of the 2018 2018 2020 were good but thankyou for pointing that out as I am sure the Fo will be putting out some seven by threes sooner or later.

You did have ten per cent spare so luckily you used it !!

yes, i had it last september and absolutely loved it. ray jordan 97. then i bought the 2022 on offer from the Fo. terrible. returned very easily. now you wil like this. at the vic market they have a small boozer in the deli section. they have a pinot cleanskin as it were , 2023 from vic...

Todays Fo $450 down to $60 barossan shiraz with a score of 98 , but not a JH 98 intrigues as to what but at $60bucks nett. I'll possibly take 3 and a half bottles of the Bos 2016 Cab however tomorrow night is the first tasting of said Bos so I might just be a bit presumptious hoping for stellar...

Not having their own winery, the Vices employed the services of top winemakers outside the region, first taking their fruit to Trevor Mast at Mount Langi Ghiran, over the border in Victoria, and, since 2004, to Paul Drogemuller at Paracombe in the Adelaide Hills. I have long admired the...
