Though I'd share an event with you all, as I'm sure many of you might be craving something like this (I know I am!). Received in an email today: Casoni At Home & Wine Pairings Hosted Online by The Italian Wine Society's Sommelier Daniel Marcella. Date: Tuesday the 31st of August - 90 minute...

Hey all, I just thought I'd see if anyone might be heading to tonight's 2017 Top Italian Wines Roadshow at Doltone House, Elizabeth Street, Sydney? For anyone interested who's not purchased a ticket it's open from 5.30pm - 8.30pm, 60 wineries and more than 200 wines will be available for...

Wozza, I just received a couple of 09 Command. Do you reckon I need to leave them for at least another 7-10 years?

This evening's bottle - 2015 Landhaus Hoffman Shiraz (Barossa) Intrigued both msYoda and I so much I had to share it with you Notes: Upon initial opening on the nose was heaps of wood, a hint of vanilla, black? berries, double cream, a splash of spice, soya sauce and salt. On the palate I...

Haha, hopefully the others have some photos. I know there was a photographer taking pics, so fingers crossed the 'official' photos will be great. I took one (blurry) photo of Koonara Shiraz - so blurry I can't read past the 'Angels' bit - which was a nice wine.

What goes on tour, stays on tour

What an evening! Coonawarra tasting at the Ivy was excellent, and the company was superb (onya Wozza et. al). It was great to see (taste & smell) violets from a couple older / reserve wines presented by a couple kind / proud wineries. (violets are where it's at) The missus and I have become...

msYoda and I should both be there. Is there a meet up location / way to identify you all who will be going?

We stayed at the Novotel Barossa Valley and were more than happy with it - especially the free upgrade and 'thank you sir for being a loyal customer' treatment given my platinum accor plus membership. Good restaurant too.

Now back in Sydney after our weekend in Adelaide. Our driver through Airtasker was absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. A great sense of humour, happy to drive us which ever route and wineries we chose, was always waiting for us (even after 1+ hour in some cellar...

will do. managed to book someone via airtasker who had a few good reviews from groups he's taken to the Vale before. Cost $210 for the full day this Saturday

I've just put it up on there one minute ago when I remembered it existed!

I wondered if anyone has ever used a driver for a trip to Mclaren Vale from Adelaide? I'm thinking about methods of getting around wineries of our choice (4 people) without any of us having to drive! If anyone has any great referrals / prices, that would be appreciated!

excellent, thanks for all the recommendations so far! Have any of you done the Grange tasting for $150 pp at Penfolds in Barossa? Would you say it's worth it?

Hi all I'm going to the Barossa next weekend (7th and 8th May) and as I've never been before I wondered if anyone can provide recommendations of wineries to visit, best cellar door experiences, good restaurants, and any other suggestions of things to do! Cheers
