Does anyone know what the Coonawarra 2012 Cab Sauv is? The one with mutliple 95s and a 96?

EDIT: The Wynns Black Label. Can get it same price at Winestar

For fridays funny, I would like a beer with my sausage.
[h=1]Unfortunately placed beer and sausage ad mocked[/h]28th May, 2015 by Lauren Eads [h=2]An eye-catching billboard advertising a Costa Rican beer brand has caught the attention of drivers, but not for the right reasons.[/h]

Beer brand Republica Parrillera Pilsen has erected a billboard in Costa Rica which has been mocked on social media for its startling resemblance to the male form.
The well-intended advertisement looks perfectly appropriate from the front, depicting a sausage on a skewer alongside an image of a beer bottle.
However drivers approaching the sign from the other direction are treated to a wholly more eye-catching view.

An honest mistake or well-played gimmick to attract attention?
One Reddit user is decided, commenting: “This will be played by the media and the company will increase its revenue, I’m almost sure about that.”
Another added: “I think that’s absolutely intentional

Any thoughts on the 2006 shiraz?

Might be Bethany GR11 Reserve Barossa Shiraz
: Schrapel Family History : Bethany Wines

Price, Halliday points and cork enclosure are a match. Alcohol isn't.

Any thoughts on the 2006 shiraz?

Would guess it is the Murray Street Vineyards 2006 Sophia Shiraz. $120 on their site, 94 from Halliday, another retailer site confirms 15% alcohol. Not a lot of other clues to go on but probably not too many $120 2006 Shiraz still on sale at wineries and this seems to fit most of the available clues.

Not cork though?

That BM 2012 Shiraz sounds interesting...could be a half decent quaffer at $7.50 a pop.

The photo on their site is a generic non-vintage one that they use for the 2012 as well, not sure if the 2006 was also (entirely) under screwcap.

It's screwcap as in here.

I have no idea what it could be but took the plunge for my first Vinomofo purchase. I figure it's a good price for an '06 Barossa Shiraz and I needed to spend some money to make the $500 minimum to get my bonus QFF points on my new Commbank card

 

[Sedimental]

My own opinion of it is that its not a wow wine fwiw

The Black Label Cab will reward those patient enough to cellar for 10+ years, esp. now they're in stelvins. I had an 03 (cork) Tuesday night and it was eminently drinkable. Good value in the mid $20 IMHO, but it is no Bordeaux, and not intended to be.

 

[grapes]

Could be something from Glen Eldon. If it is I'll wait it out.

Really enjoyed the 2008 last weekend.

I'm not 100% sure about it, but there is a reference on the Huon Hooke review page from someone that says they bought cork sealed ones at a discount a few years back. Could be bottles that were intended for export?

Anyway, could well be something else, hard to tell with so few clues but it is just my best guess.

Bethany GR11

 

[Cozdog]

I'm weak... just couldn't resist the 2006 barossa Shiraz

 

[deeps]

I haven't sampled it yet. Will give my impression tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure it is overpriced at $50, but that's not what I paid. And if it's sub-par, it's going straight back

You tried it yet? Thoughts? Mine just arrived but haven't had a chance to try (Hungerford Hill Wines - 2011 Collection Hunter Valley Shiraz)

I have. First few sips were disappointing, but it slowly opened up. Big jammy punch of plum, followed by lots of wet grass and a long lingering hit of marzipan. It's a little different from the abundance of Shiraz I already have, and I think this will benefit greatly from a few years under the bed. The missus liked it too.

I'd be spitting if I paid $65 for it though.

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Agree with Abha93. It's a quality wine with an unusual taste. However given the sort of big name quality drops you can get for $65, I wouldn't have paid $65 for it. $30 would be fine. $19.50's a good price IMHO but the taste may not be to everyone's taste so to speak
