Haha, thankfully it was early in the lineup. It was probably my WOTN, next to the Rieussec. I've always been a huge fan of their chardonnay and the PN did not disappoint. It'd be a great one to lay down and revisit in years to come. 1691403175 The cork had seen better days, but a bit of cheese...

Lunch (into dinner) with mates.

Order form received today in metro Melbourne. No markings. Nice to get over the first hurdle this year! I've already completed it and dropped it off at AusPost 👍

I haven't yet and I must admit that I don't have too much experience with Australian neb. That said, I can't afford to drink cru barolo as often as I'd like so I anticipate that I'll be looking to familiarise myself very quickly. I was hoping to pick up some of Lambert's but might have missed...

Yeah, I did. After the first rejection in 2021, they asked me to write back and confirm that I wished to stay on the mailing list. Last year, they said that they would retain my details and write to me again next vintage.

I joined the mailing list in late 2020 and wasn't able to secure an allocation in 2021 or 2022 due to the lean vintages. I recall from last year's letter that the yield for this year's release was fairly generous, so here's hoping for a change of luck.

Likewise. It kept bumping me back to the splash page.

Being in Melbourne, I ordered at 12:11 pm and it was delivered at 1:23 pm. Crazy fast.

I assume that the alcohol content on the Barbaresco is wrong?

That's a sharp price. Where from?

Like you said, each store is different. In my youth, I worked at LL and FC. At both, the bulk of wines were stored in store rooms that would get extremely warm during summer, so much so that we used to leave the loading bay roller doors open almost every day just to get some air flowing...

That was quick!

I haven't had an enormous amount of gamay in the past (and I haven't been a huge fan of what I have tried - Beaujolais mostly) but this was beautiful. Beechworth is a cracking region.

Looks like the Langton's sale is on again this morning. Harry's Monster at $22.50, Riposte Dagger at $12, Riposte Sabre at $15, Parker Kidman Block at $27.50. I'm sure that others more informed than me can identify other deals.

Probably Hoddles Creek Estate. Or one of Mayer's Bloody Hill Villages wines, although I think they're probably all sold out for this year.

My local BWS (VIC) has Barossa Old Vine Company Shiraz for $30, down from $85. Not sure how wide spread it is and details on the wine are scant (TWC and TWF only have reviews for older vintages). Any way, worth a throw at the stumps for $30 a bottle.

I recently tried returning some wines to BWS on the basis that I'd changed my mind, but they wouldn't allow it (the guy was vague as to their returns policy beyond the usual ACL reasons). I was intending to call their customer service line to see whether there was a work around, but I haven't...

Doesn't look like the 15% off is applying once you put the items in your cart.

Carwyn Cellars has 25% off all wine until midday tomorrow. Beer, cider and seltzers are included also (although singles only).
