Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Here’s to you Steady, I raise you from the case next to the 389s.


Surprising, it’s actually very good drinking. Tannins have softened just enough to be warm instead of biting, good fruit.

Normally not a fan of StH but this one is very good indeed. Much better than the 2010 I last tried.

Reminds me of a recent post, should I crack a 707 and then you do the grange... then I do a Tassie Pinot

I only started collecting 389 cases from ‘12, this was my second and last of 2 x ‘08 389’s I had. I have 1 x ‘08 StHenri I will open this year

Started the Penfolds 6 cases of 6 wines (128, 28, 389, StH, 407, +) a year about 20 years ago. Oldest 389 is 92 but not game to open it!

Your ‘challenge’ is a bit I’ll show you mine if... Seems a sensible challenge?

But I’m worried on where would you go after the Sassicaia 04 or the Elio Altare Barolo 98?

Ps: used to be about $200 for the 6x6. Now is in the $1500+ range.

Eldorado Road Durif for us tonight. Deep, lucious and easy to drink.

Easter at home - Friday dinner lineup, tribute to SA

@boomy, how was the Meshach?

Superb! More impressive than 01 vintage. It was my last bottle, need to get some more when they go on sale.

Just a couple of Easter holiday images the first one taken at the Tasman Peninsula on one of Tassie's superb autumnal days, such a lovely expression of the Sparkling Shiraz style from Kay Brothers (thanks yet again Rug). Wife took the shot but had obviously had a few....


Had a few restauranter friends around last night and they raided their cellar, not a massive Pinot fan normally but the Burgundian although light in colour had good complexity and was a gentle start to the meal, the Lanson was very pleasant indeed...

I’m a big fan of French Pinot Noir.
Especially from that particular area of Burgundy. Planning a trip there later in the year.

Bouchard makes a good visit if you are there. Definitely drop into the cellars in Nuits Saint George as well, plus excellent restaurants in the town as well as Beaune.

Broke my last Zalto universal last night. Anyone suggest where to buy them at a good price?

Wine Glassware is where I've purchased all my Zaltos from. Not sure if that's considered a good price or not though.

Lunch with friends yesterday. Started with a Perrier-Jouet Rose, then on to this and finished with a 2005 Domaine A Merlot which was sublime.

A Dans Secret selection tonight to see if I should get some while they are discounted - nice but won’t bother

 

[blackcat20]

Delicious. If you like a yarra valley Pinot I can highly recommend this one.

Thanks. Check my old emails and the last lot I got from McPhees for $59.95 a glass. This time half dozen from winetraveller.com.au for $325.00 in freight. (Figured I buy enough to cover breakages this time.)

I can get wholesale prices on Zalto's, which ones are you after let me see if I can help you out.
