Nice Wines I have DranK Recently - Red or White

Looks like I need to add my wines to this thread. Should I start with my drinks in Sydney last weekend?

My cousin has an 800+ bottle cellar (here is one of his rows of bottles).

I have bought a Henschke to drink, so he supplements with a Grosset to go with entrée and my 1999 Moss Wood that I gave him last year.

He decants the Moss Wood and we know it's going to be a good night. Super XV on the TV and to start, a duck liver pâté with the Grosset. Now I am no white wine drinker, but that is a smooth wine. Yes, life is good

This is one of the EpiQure wines recently purchased. Actually I was underwhelmed. To even things up, my wife liked it - unusual because she likes Bordeaux Reds:

Sorry to say, Vallee du Rhone is nowhere near Bordeaux...

Eeek, there is a missing word in that sentence - it should have read "she only likes Bordeaux Reds". Could have sworn I typed it :|

I blame the auto correct....or maybe Jetstar

Or maybe autocorrect is Jetstar's fault?

Isn't everything JQ's fault?

Isn't everything JQ's fault?

Of course

 

[blackcat20]

Of course

Even us?

 

[TomVexille]

Even us?

You could blame Jetstar for that

 

[JessicaTam]

You could blame Jetstar for that

Blame or thank?

 

[TomVexille]

Blame or thank?

If Jetstar is at fault, surely it's then blame...

​(but definitely thank as well, just don't tell anyone...)

No.

Dreadful stuff. Awful. Vinegar.

Tell them to leave it by their front door and I'll take it off their hands.

 

[QF WP]

Ready for collection then Roo Flyer. Should we leave it full or empty?

We have a Thai Green curry with grilled ciabatta bread with garlic, herbs & Parmesan.

Shall we drink it before the St Henri??

About to start in the Italian Red.

 

[drron]

No.

Dreadful stuff. Awful. Vinegar.

Tell them to leave it by their front door and I'll take it off their hands.

I'll bring it down for you!

 

[QF WP]

Somehow I don't think it would make the trip drron

 

[drron]

The bottle would make it!

 

[QF WP]

The bottle would make it!

Not much use empty

Now onto a bottle of cheeky Italian red. Woah,



Sitting on my friend' boat in his front yard because we probably won't get a chance tomorrow morning bit too much wind, even on the Gold Coast
