Red wine

[GanG]

As I sit here contemplating the mellow glow from the bottle I just shared with a good friend, whats your favourite brew?

Tonights was a local wine from Northeast Vic - Tallis winery 2010 shiraz, but I am also rather partial to Rothbury's Cab Merlot and Brown Brothers 2010 cab sav.

Fortifieds I am rather partial to Station Creek Muscat also a local product.

Got a bottle here ...... not a great fan of sweeter reds, prefer them dry myself

Just enjoying a Campbell's (Rutherglen) 2006 Durif. I prefer the full bodied reds, cab sav's, Melots and Durifs.

Henschke,

Actually, some damn fine clean skins are actually well known and branded wines that have reached their quota, Alot of clean skins are from well renowned vineyards......

[GanG]

Yep, just gotta find the right clean skins is the trick!!

1990 thats well cellared

[cruisindub]

Wife is a sommellier....somelier....som, bugger it, a fancy name for a bloody wine ponce.

Apparently I'm too heathen to appreciate such a drop.

The post-it labels with "only to be opened on special occasions", "not to be opened" and "hands off" are the ones I am not allowed to touch.
The ones labled "to keep", and best after #*#*" are also off limits.

Apparently anything in a box is fine for me to help myself to........        

Wife would throw me out if I bought home a 'box'.

[Pog]

Pepperjack Shiraz, Saltrams, Barossa Valley.

Generally a very good value and good quality drop.

[HEM19X]

The best red is one that you have at a mate's place [his of course]. Funny, he always reckons that my reds are best!!

[Marschy]

My favourite quaffer at the moment is St Hallets Gamekeeper Shiraz, but if the budget allows, their Old Block Shiraz is fantastic.

A number of years ago I had the good luck of comparing an "Hill of Grace" to the corresponding "Grange"  & I voted for the Henchke. Can't afford either these days but do have a '89 Penfolds 707 in the Vintec cabinet. Don't know whether it is any good although it's been cellared properly. Any one got any thoughts about that?
A bloke I know has a cellar door on the Mornington Peninsula & gets some excellent "Cleans" quite regularly.

over here in the west im liking the Jarrah Ridge shiraz 2009 reserve.

[fishfinder]

Devils Lair fifth leg shiraz
Jamiesons Run Cabernet Shiraz Merlot
And the occasional chatte le cardboard

[Wazza2]

Another vote for Pepperjack Shiraz

[Taz64]

Pepperjack x 3.  Also Black Chook for a lazy Sunday afternoon with an anti-pasto platter.

[Trackabout Off Road Campers]

Bettenays 2008 Merlot, picked it up from Margaret River last rear.. Didn't last long

Carefully pack it and send it me and I'll critique it for you.

I love most things from Annies Lane, event the whites are good and I generally don't drink whites.  I do have a problem though with all the bottle shops in my town filling their stock with NZ whites when we have so much good Aussie wine.

Murray Street Vinyards Black Label Shiraz, grapes grown over my back fence.
