Punch  said about 5 years ago:

if you want a good cheap local wine try Sticks. they do good reds and whites but their reds are best.


TopherPlus  said about 5 years ago:

d'Arenberg. Never had a bad one. d'Arry's Original is awesome (grenache shiraz) as it the footbolt old vine shiraz.

What TopherPlus said. Also, you can't go wrong with anything by Wynns (Coonawarra, not Spitfire).


Shananana  said about 5 years ago:

trips - prob more white than red.. but im open to trying new things!

Ohh thanks guys..i shall look into these suggestions. Fab.


Punch  said about 5 years ago:

you know cheap arse cleanskins are the healthiest though as they have no preservatives. some of them even taste great.

It's true. Some of them are great.

There was a really good 9 buck wine i got at vintage cellers darlo, it was soo good i bought another, now it sucks because i got so trashed that i can't remember what name it was


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

I can't even remember what the one I had on saturday night tasted like. All I remember is that I drank it quickly, so it must have been ok.


the power of 666  said about 5 years ago:

I once had a bottle of a red cleanskin and had the worst hangover ever.

I really like this 2010 Squealing Pig Pinot Noir from Otago

and not just for the label. Lovely drop

Haha. Geez dude. Chill out.
Just had a glass?!

Sorry if my post sounded cunty, I wasn't have a go at you or your choice of wine. I am and was chilled 4 real.

Oyster Bay probably isn't the most popular brand btw. That'd be Jacob's Creek or something, I imagine. As usual, I am full of lies and deception.


gabbo  said about 8 months ago:

going on a wine tour of the pyrenees tomorrow. in a limo.

i'm such an arsehole.


voidster  said about 8 months ago:

Yesterday I stocked up on:

Evans & Tate Classic White
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Pepperjack Shiraz
St Henri Claret (2006 vintage)

I am now broke. All wines highly recommended esp the Cloudy Bay and St Henri


luke  said about 8 months ago:

does anyone know if you can get bosnian wine in sydney?
Bosnian wine is very cheap in Bosnia and very good, but I don't think it has a very big export market. I brought two bottles back, they are all gone and now I want more.


gabbo  said about 8 months ago:

i would recommend Dalwhinnie's Eagles Nest to anyone. Despite the association with Hitler's holiday house, this wine is freaking good.

i also really liked Taltarni's reserve shiraz, their GSM, and their sparkling (not the brut).

Also vouch for Pepperjack Shiraz.


nicko_mcbrain  said about 8 months ago:

The Di Giorgio Family 2005 Shiraz is gobsmackingly good for the price.

gabbo  said about 6 months ago:

if you had $600 to buy one bottle of wine, what would it be?

i have to do this for a mate from a bet.


voidster  said about 6 months ago:

You can get a bottle of Grange for that price although you would probably not want to drink it for few years,


semblance  said about 6 months ago:

I would go for the 4 Litre Morris soft Dry Red. More bang for yr Buck


semblance  said about 6 months ago:

No matter how much a bottle of booze costs, it is essentially still just booze. The only purpose of booze is to get shitfaced so why waste your money being a pretentious yuppie??


gabbo  said about 6 months ago:

because i'm a pretentious yuppie?

der.

You are doing it wrong.

gabbo said 1 hour ago:

it would be 8 bottle of Veuve


pollyphonic  said about 6 months ago:

My all time fave bottle of wine would be a Greenock Creek Cornerstone Grenache (any year). Virtually impossible to find except at the cellar door (in Greenock in the Barossa) and then only a very limited release (in September) any given year so sells out quickly, BUT only about $30 a bottle and simply divine stuff!

It cellars magnificently if you have the patience to wait ten years before opening a bottle (like my brother) but also drinks amazingly well when first released (if you're like me and cant wait even a year).

There are fancier bottles of wine around (although you'll pay a couple of hundred and upwards for any vintage more than about ten years old) but I think this stuff is the shizzle.

Other lovely wines that are far more readily and widely available that I love are Henschke's Hill of Grace, Turkey Flat's Mourvedre (and their yummy fortified Pedro Ximénez), and Grant Burge's Abednego Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre - all delicious!!

Makes me miss home a bit
