I had a lovely couple of glasses of the Muscat on board QF108 (or should that be 1 0 late?) in J early Monday morning after the CSM talked me into it and forgot to get the name of it. When I look at the online wine list none of them ring a bell. Does anyone happen to know what they are serving at the mo as I want to grab a bottle?
In J the Muscat is Seppelt DP63 Rutherglen Muscat available along with some excellent Sherry's in the range for a song (
Dan Murphy's seem to have them all). I beleive this wine, made from decades old base material sells for around $20 which is laughable.
In terms of quality vs price these should sell fro hundreds of dollars, but fortunately Australian fortifieds remain beneath the radar - but dont hang about Robert Parker and other International critics have recently discovered them and are trumpeting their praises.
The beauty of Ruethrglen fortifieds is that there are all sorts of 'house' styles all of which are worthy and interesting. The Morris style is the richer more moutfilling, whereas others are nutty and spirity.
