Yes, that's entirely possible, but I can only report my experience. I never said the wine was rubbish, only that for me it was a failure. I'm not suggesting that others won't enjoy that particular flavour profile, but it wasn't for me. Yes it is possible that it was tainted, but I have never...

I agree, the Better Half Pinot was not great, but it was drinkable. For me, my only outright failure has been the recent purchase of the Spinifex Bete Noir Shiraz. For me there was just too much of an iodised salinity on the front palate, that I just couldn't get past. Although the mid and back...

Wine Market have a clearance sale on at the moment for a range of white wines they have on run-out: http://www.winemarket.com.au/range/white-wine?page=1 This includes the 2013 Mr Riggs Watervale Riesling at $10.75 a bottle (delivered). This is one of the nicer Rieslings I've recently tasted...

Nope. I just get "Details of this product cannot be found. It may be out of stock." Thanks for trying Steady, I'm guessing this one was not meant to be.

I can't even see Coldstream Hills listed as one of their Brands.

Bugger, I just get a "No results found" message. :( Maybe they are already sold out, or realised it was a mistake.

I can't see it when I login to cellardoor.co do you have a link?

Coincidence, spooky action at a distance, or kismet? The world is a wonderful place...

For Beefarmer: Thorn Clark 2004 Shotfire Barossa Quartage Cabernet Blend And so it ends. A journey that started many years ago in the Barossa. Followed by a lengthy sleepover in Victoria, under the watchful care of Beefarmer. A quick journey to Sydney in January 2016, where it was to be...

I'll be your friend DrSammyLee. :)

Whoops, sorry folks, my eyes are playing tricks on me today. Yes, that should have been Whodoesthat. Although AC I'm sure your cellar is also awesome, at least where it counts.

That looks awesome Whodoesthat. We're just planning what we are going to do when we rebuild our house that was lost in the 2013 Blue Mountains bushfires. I like the idea of the walk-in Vintec transtherm cellar, but AC's cellar has me re-thinking our options. I'm just concerned about temperature...

The Spinifex Bete Noir Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013 was announced a week or so ago as a VIM release, but the link quickly became broken. For those that are interested, it is back on sale toady as a general release. It's a boom for me...

Yes, it tastes a little like the flower smells. The flavour is also reminiscent of the floral taste found in turkish delight. I believe the compound responsible for the flavour is called beta-ionone. To my taste buds it is usually a very subtle flavour found on the mid-palate. I can usually pick...

I decided to take one for the team and do a direct side-by-side tasting of the Fox Gordon Brothers and Sisters (B&S) with its more regal sibling, the King Louis. Here are my observtions: You can tell immediately that both wines have been cut from the same cloth. Both share the same vibrancy of...

...and Wozza achieves legend status! I think you've peaked Wozza, it's all down hill from here... Welcome to my world.

I grabbed some a couple of weeks ago when it was going for $8 a bottle. It's certainly great value at that price point, but still good buying at $10. Here are my tasting notes. I had recently finished a bottle of the 2011 vintage, so I was using it as a benchmark: Quite a different wine to the...

AC, just so you're aware, that main search function does not work for everyone. It has never ever worked for me, from home or from work, on a Mac or a PC. When I search, this is all I ever see. The results never actually load.

Yes, the King is in the house! And it arrived on the same day as my Maverick twins. Very auspicious. Coincidence - I don't think so. I'm very excited to see how the King compares to the Brothers and Sisters. You can expect Sir Delectable to have a few words to share on this matter as well. :)
