Any ideas on todays 2013 Tasmanian Pinot Noir? https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/mof_-secret-deal-pinot-noir-2013-deal I was thinking it might be Dalrymple Single Site Bicheno Pinot Noir. The price is close $61 vs $60 on VM and the acid is close at 14% vs 13.8% on VM. However I don't think...

Thank you kindly. :)

Grosset 2014 Alea Riesling (Clare Valley) Listed as off-dry, but was a little sweeter than anticipated. Certainly towards the sweeter end of the riesling spectrum. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The flavours are delicate and well balanced, with stone fruit prominent on the front...

Well it seems that a little speculation sometimes pay off. My First Creek 2010 Cab Merlot arrived on Thursday, and what a lovely wine it is, a real surprise packet. Here are my tasting notes. What a cracking wine. Medium bodied with a lovely mellow mouthfeel. Rich and vibrant, dark and...

For my sins I am going to find myself in New Zealand mid-September, with 3 spare days to fill. I haven’t had an opportunity to taste too many N.Z. wines, so I’d like to explore their offerings in more detail. I’m keen on experiencing more Pinot Noir styles, so I’m thinking the South Island is...

Yes, that seems to have been the problem. Thanks!

I signed up last week, after receiving the Halliday offer, hoping to take advantage of some Amelia Park purchases. My welcome75 coupon also did not work, despite signing up directly from the referral email. I emailed them about the issue and they haven't bothered replying or correcting the...

I'm posting this as something of a mea-culpa. I first tasted this wine six months ago, and really didn't enjoy it. At that point it tasted overly sweet and lacked complexity, tasting very one dimensional. I opened this, my last bottle, tonight with very low expectations. I was shocked to find...

Do you have a Durand? I'm genuinely interested in first hand accounts, especially with older wines. I drink quite a few oldish Semillon (20+ years old) and the corks frequently get quite crumbly with age. With a regular cork screw it is always the pressure that the screw places on the cork...

Welcome back Wozza, we missed you. It might be time to invest in an Ah-So cork puller. They are absolutely brilliant with dodgy corks. I rarely even look at my regular corkscrews anymore. If the wine has a cork I just grab the Ah-So and the cork is out. Quick easy and no more broken corks. I'd...

I buy Vin Tags from ebay (Wine Storage Tags VIN Tags 10 Packs OF 50 Wine Tags | eBay). They do the job for me, although I find the paper tags a little on the flimsy side, especially for wax sealed bottles which have a slightly wider capsule than normal.

I purchased some of the 2015 Applejack Vineyard Pinot last night via a VinoMofo VIM offer. However I don't think I'm likely to try the first bottle for twelve months or so. I think it's still a little young at the moment.

I cracked my first Squitchy tonight. Initially it was quite thin and acidic, with very little fruit evident on the palate. The tannins quite prominent. After a 3 hour decant the wine had softened appreciably, but still tasted slightly acidic and sharp. Flavour wise there was not a lot going on...

My Squitchy arrived today. Hopefully yours isn't too far behind.

I must admit I am sorely tempted by the VIM Dauvergne & Ranvier 'Face Sud' Côte-Retie 2012. https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/dauvergne-ranvier-face-sud-rhone-valley-shiraz-blend-2012 It’s the battle of Minas Tirith. The pinnacle of world city sparkles as if made of crystals, black and red...

Ask and you shall receive. Use JULYXMAS for 20% off today only. Edit: Doubly beaten!

I'm happy to do a side by side comparison as soon as my Squitchy arrives. How long did others have to wait for delivery?

It's a belated BOOM for me on the Squitchy Lane as well. It will be interesting to see what it's like. I was hoping that someone might have posted a review on CT for me.

I can't vouch for the Schild Estate, but the Glenlofty Shiraz Viognier is quite a nice quaffer. Here are my tasting notes for it: A lifted floral bouquet thanks to the Viognier. Luscious plum and cherry fruit give a concentrated and juicy mouthfeel. Mild peppery spice, fine graphite and a hint...

For anyone that is interested, I'm pretty confident that todays Black Market Yarra Valley Shiraz is the Warramate White Label. https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/black-market-deal-yarra-shiraz-2014 Warramate Wines | 2014 Warramate White Label Shiraz The 2013 was a stunning, if slightly...
