    How do you store your wine [+ Fridge/Cabinet recommendations]

    Hi all, does anyone have a Kitchener Peltier cabinet? I have, and recently removed the door while moving house. Now I see that there seem to have been some parts of the hinges lost during the move, most likely a set of cylindrical washers. Kitchener no longer are in business it seems, so I was...

    Pinot palooza in Melbourne today. A lot of big names there. Should be a good one!

    German Wines - recommendations?

    Plus the advantage of auslese styles is they often come in smaller bottles, so you can get more variety if you like.

    Vinomofo Wine Deals

    Too right. I expect the wine retailer who offers a guarantee does so knowing that most people will be too polite to send anything back. If the description doesn't match the product, I don't think there's any shame at all in asking for a refund. I ordered the chardy from VM yesterday because I...

    Another possibility is Hoddles 1er. Peach / honey complex matches well, but 13.2%. It looks like VM may have their CM and JH confused with each other, so the 96 point CM may be a red herring.

    Not in my opinion, which is after all just an opinion.

    The Pinot Noir & Grenache Thread

    Because much of the bling won by a lot of the wines cannot be explained any other way.

    The Pinot Noir & Grenache Thread

    Wine competitions are money making operations and are rigged. They probably won because they colluded with the organisers.

    I'm happy with a $25 Filsell, it's pretty good... for a shiraz ;-)

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    You won't find the 2014 on VM, Mark Gifford the winemaker has a small quantity for mailing list customers and a few of his retailers and restaurants. I doubt what is out there in retail land will last long. It's definitely a $30+ wine in my book.

    I wanted to know the vintage before I bought, so no I didn't, as BWS doesn't advertise that on their site.

    BWS have a 25% off half dozens at the moment. I was able to get Pierro Chardonnay 2014 for $56 a pop.

    5 Rose for me too, one of their shiraz and a half dozen Lino Ramble Grenache. WD have some great bargains occasionally which are too good to miss.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    I kind of liked the adelina polish Hill river riesling but I like MBV more. Saw them in Bristol in 1989... nearly deafened me.

    Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

    Im glad you discovered this wozza. Tried on tasting last year at the cellar door, i got some more from winebox warehouse in melbourne. $25/b which i think is good value. I was surprised at the quality from a coonawarra chardonnay and i like the lemon curd character running through it. Good stuff.

    I've tried this one, and IMO it deserves the accolades. Great wine, great value.
