That's the one. It isn't the first time either. It comes up fairly often. I remember on one of the Blue Poles offering a it was a fairly common complaint as well.

VM storage conditions, heat affected wines? There's a discussion currently on TWF that relates to VM. Figured I'd see how the track record has been for everyone here recently?

I have a couple of larger fridges. I like the fact I don’t need to plan ahead when it comes to selecting bottles and grabbing them from storage. It is however, significantly higher in upfront costs to have fridges and the ongoing costs mean that off-site storage is the more affordable option.

I sit there some nights and struggle with whether to use a Zalto or a Gabriel Glas for 10-15 minutes and just end up grabbing a Schott or a Riedel to save myself the effort of having to choose. Somehow I have ended up using them more for when I'm in a hurry than special occasions. What a first...

Re: Wine Apps and/or Software Every time this question gets asked the answer is probably 95% Cellar Tracker with a few straglers who still use their old Excel spread sheets (A few of them managed to import that data into Cellar Tracker from memory). Just go download Cellar Tracker - they have...

Just flicked back and saw this. Checked my email and had a $50 sign up voucher that expired 6 months ago. Stack that with Wish Gift Card + Cashrewards and this became too tempting to pass up. If anybody has expired sign up vouchers in their email it may be worth a check. By my calculations...

Re: 2015 Vintec wine cellar offer So people who are looking into these deals, what are you going for to get your $500/$350. I'm tossing up between some Coldstream Hills, St Henri and 389. I haven't bought much from TWE in a while as I've been focusing on producers I see as better VFM. My...

Re: 2015 Vintec wine cellar offer This is why I posted it before the deal started. Gives people some time to plan ahead. From memory there was a huge gap in delivery times for the people who got in first and those who got in at the end of the promotion. The deal still has value. However, the...

Looks like the 2016 offer starts on the 1st of July. $350 on wine and $450 for the 30 bottle dual zone $500 on wine and $1500 for the 110 bottle dual zone. This value offer seems to have less value each year. Dan Murphys have already uploaded their range and t and c's but the links to...

Not up to date with First Choice. Is that Yalumba price available in store or online only? Also what the hell First Choice, get click and collect!

So your issue is with people who make notes in a grandiloquent style. I don't think many people here would disagree with you then. I'm always amazed when watching stuff like Somm with how many notes those guys can pick up. They just fire them away though, with no ridiculous comparisons to the...

This is pretty much spot on. It seems like Vedder50 should have more issues with point scores than tasting notes. I don't see how someone saying a wine has tobacco notes or smells of green apple skin etc. is marketing? It is them describing what they can pick up in the wine. Point scores on...

Mandala Prophet Pinot Noir 2012. Also https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/mof_-secret-deal-pinot-noir-2010b Appears to be the 2010 of the same.

Has anyone who has done the Bottle shop concepts events (Pinot Palooza, Game of Rhones et al.) done the VIP tickets. $45 more than early bird/raven ticket. Did you find it worth the extra? Early access is very appealing to me after dealing with the mob that was at Game of Rhones last week.

If the price of sex toys are anything to go by, the mark up on a home dungeon will make the wine cellar mark up look very affordable.

I have been looking into doing something similar. Have seen some nice results around by people who have used Refrigerated (Cold Room) panels. They basically have all the insulation you need if you are for example in Queensland, where most the houses have next to no thermal mass. Chuck a...

They are bottling for it you. I wonder if we may see one or two people in Australia buying barrels and then hitting the secondary market with this wine.

It’s a wine of supreme drinkability and, simultaneously, class. Load up the glass and then load it up again. It tastes of boysenberry, black cherry, liquorice root and violets, with pepper spice and smoky oak having their two bob’s worth too. Fine tannin, inlaid with spice and fresh fruit...

We were watching 1000 Mile Journey (Great movie btw) which kept me from going till most good stock was gone and got to the Woolloongabba store at about 640. There were 2 of the Vasse Felix Cab Sav left at that point which I snapped up as well as a few other miscellaneous bottles. I should have...

Got in just in time - 12:52am on the 11th. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Anybody found somewhere to purchase in Brisbane at a decent price?
