Rockfords discussion

[WrenchHammerMcTool]

I stopped buying Rockford for myself after the 2010 vintage and sold off what I had. I'm still a Stonewaller and buy occasionally for other people. I've tried a fair number of releases since, haven't bought any.
Here’s some of what I’ve bought a fair amount of instead of Rockford BP, alpha order, vintage cherry picking, I have no brand loyalty.
Chris Ringland North Barossa
Dutschke St Jak and Oscar until they closed
Elderton Command (just bought more 2021 at $90pb, brilliant wine)
Gibson Reserve
Hayes Family Shiraz, various
John Duval Entity
Kalleske Eduard
Kellermeister Wild Witch
Langmeil Orphan Bank
Saltram #1
Standish
Teusner Albert
Tim Smith Reserve.

Add in Eden Valley and there are more (hmm not sure they are all EV, but anyway)
Dandelion Red Queen
Heirloom A’Lambra
Hobbs Gregor
Sorby Adams The Thing
Torzi Frost Dodger

And I add to that formidable list:
Sami-Odi
Setiono
Agricola Vintners
Izway

And, FYI as a side, if this was you, you were given a member code ending in 029. So don't think you're the 29th person with similar initials, just means you're an original member. Subsequent members with same initials then startwith 001. ('029' was chosen so that people weren't w@nkers about "being #1"...)

Good to know, I'll have to ask my fellow dining companions at my next lunch what their numbers are

I really need to try a Sami-Odi
Never see them in any bottle shop.

And probably won't! A few bottlo's do get them but sell out b4 stock even gets on the shelf.

The Stone Wall Society was only formed in 2000?? 2000 Rag

Really? Was there a membership of some sort before then that members of which were grandfathered into StoneWall when it was formed? I'm certain I signed up and received correspondence/offers from back then. Happy to be corrected on what must be a false memory...

Paging @Buzzard to the Stonewallers room ...
