Terrific! Ta for that. It does sound cool and now am really looking forward to it.
Though 60ml is not what I'd thought a "very small amount" (as per the website) would be. I imagined pipettes and microscopes and litmus tests for some reason. 🤣
Looking forward to following along @Matt_01 :)
I see you've booked a tour but is it still the case that guided tours are required for travel outside of Lhasa?
Turns out mine is a 91 (that I bought for $180 in 1996). And the ullage appears to be in the "re-cork recommended" zone so I'll register for an event, prolly in BNE so my Dad can come.
Does anyone taste the wine as part of the re-corking process?
BWS Kingston in Canberra has WB Black Label 2021 ($65) and Teusner Righteous FG Shiraz 2018 ($76) on clearance. Sweeten the deal with $30 off $200 spend, 10% off for 6 bottles, and Shopback 27% cashback ($25 cap) for the next couple of hours.
According to the Penfolds website, "Some collectors investing via the secondary market prefer to purchase a re-corked bottle as the condition has been certified, therefore minimising risk." So that could raise it's value.
I have a 96 that has a leaky cork. I'll look at attending one of the next round of clinics in October.
What do they do if it's not corked but just spoiled or past good drinking (most likely due to poor storage in my case). Send you on your way with the bad news?
You'll be required to submit a noise assessment (demonstrating how noise will be ameliorated) as part of the DA process if the land is within an overlay of some sort (varies from state to state) or is within certain noise exposure 'contours'. It will also be evident during the purchase process...
What a world. A successful outcome for the OP will form precedent in similar future lawsuits brought by tiktokers because the hostie looked at them sideways or weren't pretty enough.
We love them for short term house rentals in coastal areas that have limited hotel options which often also don't allow dogs. Using a kennel for a sneaky long long weekend is not only costly but impractical due to the kennel drop off/pick up rules.
There is a lot wrong with the system now...
