Thank you for the sage advice. I just added that all up and it's $1200, but I figure I wont get everything, and if I do it's an investment like everything else in my cellar.

So, I signed up 2 years ago, if that's what you call it, and received a latter back then, and last year a letter to say I couldn't order etc, but just today I have received my first order form. Where are these crayon marks meant to be that everyone talks about? I recall the first few posts of...

Couldn't keep the plastic card in your board shorts? I could perhaps understand if you had speedos on ;)

I'm sure I've travelled BA Euro Business back in the past where one direction of a return can be very low in J. Not as low as that, but not much more than double that. I'm not going to try and find receipts, but I know I thought it was a steal at the time, even if BA "dom J" can be a bit lacklustre.

I'm booked back into Rockford next January 11th again, friends birthday. But looking forward to hearing more about the cruise. Sounds fabulous!

Seeing as a few are mentioning upcoming Vintec purchases on here, I have been meaning to sell the fridge I used for about a year before I built a proper cellar room. It's a Vintec VWM148SBA-R. It has been turned off for a while now, as I've been too lazy to list it online, but is in good...

I had meant to ask about it but hadn't seen it mentioned anywhere, what does that set you back?

May brings some new vintages to the store. My CC got a workout this evening. Eden Valley Riesling 2022, Frugal Farmer 2022, Moppa Springs 2020 and for those lucky enough the Dry Country 2018 and Shiraz VP 2018.

I don't have the answer, but recall they put a number on lifetime, so they'd likely look at that to work out what pro-rata would be. That said, QC used to be far cheaper than it is now, so you're likely only looking at a small amount to come back.

By the time the email hit my inbox, NSW was already sold out, I assumed it must have gone to Centurion first. Besides the location and time of the week it was on, the price didn't look that enticing.

I got my pro-rata refund in the last few years. I likewise achieved LTG just prior to the pandemic, so decided to claim what little was left back. I can't recall the exact process, but they just needed me to write it out in a stat dec and then get it witnessed and send that in.

With no curfew I can't imagine it'll be long before there's significant interest. If the transport connections are operational from day one and not much longer (time-wise) than existing from SYD then I think the choice will be simple and rapid expansion will occur. I'm sure many will disagree...

Diverting from the topic, but has happened to me at Sofitel Adelaide a couple times. I no longer carry the physical card on me but do have the numbers stored and a digital version. Usually they begrudgingly accept that... and so they should. Probably a discussion for the hotel category though.

I've had two experiences. The last Tasting Australia I roamed through their gardens and while it was canapes, it was actually quite nice. I certainly didn't feel hungry at the end. I did BVF another year where I dined in the barrel hall that often featured in @Buzzard's tours to Rockford...

He wouldn't be a good chief executive if all he did was say their product was inferior to everyone elses :rolleyes:

Makes sense, otherwise that would be a glaring loophole allowing multiple statuses.

I'm just going to leave this here... Grenache from the Ground Up - Barossa Vintage Festival Dropped today ;) I'll be there for the 10:30 sesh on the Sunday.

Yes, SW can get an additional 6 as the '18 wont be out till next year. They had a good '17 vintage, plenty to go around ;)

I still have them too! Only, they're unused in the garage. They did well for me for many years. Thank you! 🙏 The new racks are made by Wine Rack Sydney Supplier Locally and widely with online shopping - it's a clunky website, but they can custom make as well. So I wanted all mine to be the...

I've recently change how I store my wine. I was using a large Vintec for the good stuff and racks on the wall (but not terribly temperature controlled) for the other stuff. This wasn't going to work going forward, so I renovated a space, added a separate AC and tarted it up. There's more to show...
