Are wine buffs wankers?

I have owned the bottle for 23 years and as a collector it has wank factor. It actually tastes awful as it should have been drunk about 4 years ago when it was at it's premium quaffing time

Never tasted the stuff, any good ?

I believe they use it on their BBQ steaks in Portsea.

When it is at it's premium drinking time it is required to be double decanted. Magnificent olive/blackberry fruit with plum and liquorice flavours and soft tannins to start with, then a taut ripe palate followed by being hit by a wall of hard, firm tannins. Not for the feint hearted. BIG RED WINE.

Yes I believe they use it in the peri peri sauce at the Tertúlia do Monte Restaurante Bar in Monte Estoril as well
 

It's the heavy ones that can do a lot of damage if one gets carried away.....

Entree' is served with an apertif ... $17 for the wine and is one of the best SB's going around in my opinion. Nori rolls created in my kitchen .. priceless

Mmmm retails for $19 thanks I'll give it a try :alcohol:

A little cheaper elsewhere, Dan Murphy's don't even stock it.

Skip Jack from NZ is also good but cant find it anywhere.

Went well with the Kewpie mayonnaise ... rich and fruity along with a hint of seeded grape on the tongue with the right amount of oak barrel to draw in the vinegar from the rice. Honey carrot and pepper celery and garlic chicken added to the flavours of the food. Wise choice

not bad indeed for that price;
quite decent for someone who is more into red usually
Thanks MrBurns

No problem, if you've ordered for the first time you'll get an introduction letter giving you $25 off your next order.

Some friends want some so I ordered 4 doz and with the discount it's $4.06 a bottle.....delivered.

It's almost embarrassing.

The batches vary I'm told but you'll never get one that you cant drink.

The Yarra Valley is one big vineyard and all the excess grapes around the region get used to make this wine I'm told.

I missed on this, I only registered as guest when ordering and did not create an account ; that is probably the difference, in any case, even bying 1 dozen at 70$, it is still very cheap for the quality

Next time order by phone , they sign you up on the spot while taking the order
 
Been off the red wine lately and been trying a few of these ...



"Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture."

Throw this away and add Vodka, Bacardi, Vok Triple Sec, Lime juice, Soda water and some gay spring water with lemon and lime and drink like a pirate !

If you don't want to end up in rehab get a spirit measure.

Amy Winehouse anyone? Anyone?

See the little shot glass at the front of the picture? Brett's Bar written on it mate
 
Wine wankerism pales into insignificance when compared to craft beer hipster enthusiasts.
