wine

I'm having a house de-clutter and the time has come to decide what to do with the ten or so Henschke Hill of Grace presentation boxes I have kept (having drunk the contents, of course!), on the basis "they must be useful for something, some-day". Nothing so far; I'm open to (serious)...

I'm not sure if this thread should be here or in a more "social" section. (Maybe mods will move if required) In any event Mrs GPH and I are attending the BNE Epiquire event in today. I know of a few other AFF'rs heading down to the Light Space in the valley, so hope to see a few of you there...

Hi Everyone, Long time lurker, fairly new poster. I just wanted to sus out the crowd and share my experiences with Wine Clubs. I work in trade so can generally access pretty sharp prices, but have also found quite a bit of value in wine clubs. For instance the Mount Langi Premium club had...

Would this be of use to anyone : I don't buy wine and have never rec'd a Virgin Wine gc before and I never pay any attention to wine threads, so I don't know if this has any value. The offer seems to be : a $140 gc + 2 wine glasses + 1 doz red/wines bottles for $99 plus delivery + 2 bots...

Just bought my tickets for the Sydney edition of the Epiqure wine fair- anyone else thinking about going? We've been to several ones over the past few years and it has always been a great event, well worth the ticket if you like to booze all afternoon :p Looks like this year's Sydney fair will...

So there I was, completing the purchase of 6 x 'Upside Down' Sav Blanc (don't laugh - it could be you one day), when the shop person reminded me to 'pick up one of the big red bottles on the way out'. Eh? Oh ... for buying 1/2 doz of NZ's finest, I get a 1.5 litre bottle of their red for...

Hi all, Has anyone been to Germany recently ? - I'm after some recommendations. Catch is my wife is going whilst I'm staying home to look after the kids so I'm handing over a shopping list. I want her to bring me back some good wines I wouldn't ordinarily find here. Pref I'm after the sweeter...

I found a few nice buys at this place My Wine Guy (seems to be part of crackawines) Some good 'mystery wines' Use the below referral link to get a $30 credit on account (referee gets 1000 point on first purchase) http://i.refs.cc/TnapR43C

Found this forum looking for tips on good wine. Seems to have a lot is the community with knowledge and experience - thanks :)

Got an email today from winedirect.com.au informing me that they have partnered with CommBank Awards and are offering 10 bonus points per $1 spent. It looks like it will be running for a while so will likely tie in with their 30% off end of financial year sale that they usually have (not...

I've accidentally selected the SYD tickets (im based in MEL) which i wont be needing it (got it for free from Ozbargain posts) AFF - at least 8 months old and 88 posts .. (im not superstitious, just for fun) Reply here and i will send the e-ticket over..

Mrs667 is 40 next year and seeing a 1978 Cyril Henschke on Lantons got me to wondering if there was any point trying to get hold of a special wine for the occasion. So, a few questions for my fellow AFFers: - Does anyone have any first hand experience of good wines from that vintage? - If I...

Is anyone else a member of the Wine Gallery? I have joined recently - 3 bottles a month for $23 a bottle (price does not vary) and $9 postage. Interesting concept (they match your palettte based on a survey, you score the wines each month, they change the choices based on feedback).

In prelude of the "Return To Rockford" wine tour as seen here - http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/meetings-and-social-events/return-rockford-2nd-april-2017-a-80464.html Seems like a good occasion to also catch up for Drinks / Dinner Date - Saturday 1st April Drinks 6:30pm -...

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...

At age 60, my biggest concern is that I'll die before drinking all my purchases! To be survived by a (VERY) Merry Widow. Maybe that's the story behind this auction Fine Wine & Spirits - a well cellared collection - Lawsons - Auctioneers, Sydney and Melbourne

I'm off to Italy for a month in April, and as I have only relatively recently started really getting into wine - I know I'll be desperate to take as much tasty Italian vino back with me as possible. I know that my wife and I can take 6 bottles back DF. I suspect that we will end up with...
