Now, I'm not a rum drinker. I had a bottle of Bundy in my grog cabinet for about 12 years before I had a visitor who got into it (and was very welcome to; not @JohnM , but he'll remember who :) ). But some friends the other day insisted I try Diplomatico - from Venezuala :oops:. Said to be the...

Planing to take my +1 for day trip early March. Been a while since my last visit so was hoping for some insight about recommended cellar doors and nice restaurant for lunch. My plan is to book 3 premium tastings plus lunch. One cellar door I’m keen to visit is Yarra Yering since I’m big fan of...

I am going to by some Penfolds wine and wondering if I should buy it to qualify for the Kalimna Club or simply source the best price. What value does the Penfolds Kalimna Club bring?

My last purchase was in June with just two cases purchased in the last year.
