Red Wine

I think there is a thread on this.. as is so a mod can merge it...

WOLF BLASS GOLD LABEL SHIRAZ 2003

get it... it's ready to drink and it's fucking nice!! 2-3 year in the celar will make it unfuckingbelievable..

which region is it from Paul??

I love my coonawarra reds.. they all have character and fantastic taste..

barossa.

Im a white wine person!

Yummmmmmm!!!

Havin a few at the moment too!

I like my reds from the Coonawarra... mmmm.. Jamiesons Run !!

i have a bottle of the Wolf Blass 2002 Yellow label Shiraz in the rack. Also a nice drop!.

paul said a swear word...hehehehehehehehe.....not my type of drink, i like the ones they give the kiddie, taste just like grape juice...mmmm wonder why????lol

After a couple of reds and the LOVE of what it does to him, ive noticed Paul often throws a swearword in to spice things up a bit!

Fuckin love it!!!

When it comes to red I'll drink pretty much everything except Claret. But most of the stuff I get is from the Riverland region as I have family with vineyards and get the stuff for me either really cheap or for nothing. Unfortunatley for me once I start a bottle I cant stop

rofl.. what you talking about willis

being from the barossa i'm naturally surrounded by wine, so i've kind of aquired a taste for it. although that said i'm still a bit of a noob about what's what, and i'm still a fairly bad white wine pussy. reds are a little too heavy for me...apart from rose's. love the lolly wine.

ah yeah, and i live two minutes up the road from wolf blass winery. which gives me an idea...

anthems wine tour!

Although i despise red wine, i love a good rose..............

the portuguese make a killer Rose

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm rose.............

Did i mention

and they make beautiful port too.. thats technically a wine..

Not a big fan of port.

But white wine & rose...........

the sweet stuff.. you like riesling? I can't stand it, prefer chardonnay, but really would rather have a good shiraz or cab sav, etc..

Chain of Ponds make a nice chilled red, much like rose. Chain of Ponds Novello Rosso
Banrock Station White Shiraz is also close to the top of my list of nice chilled reds

How did you know???

Any sweet fruity wine & i could guzzle it by the litre!

oh, has anyone tried a sparkling shiraz before? they are very nice wines.. not sure who makes a really nice one..

oh I know why people prefer white wine.. I started off the same way, being a sweet wine, its great to drink.. then my tastes "matured" (not me tho) and got into the reds, never looked back since..

sauvingnon blanc is a white, hardly sweet. MMMM

Im not a huge fan of sweet wines. i like my wine heavy, dry, and spicey

chardonnay is the sweetest of the true white wines I would say, but could be wrong..

im a red man myself a strong flavoured shiraz or a cab, merlot in the reds is classed as a dessert wine.. more sweeter than most.

ill keep an eye out for a few of the ones mentioned.

ive got some wines in my bottom rack.. i gotta wait another 10 yrs to drink old vines vintage grenache, the few ive opened 'early' have been adsoluetly fantastic!

Most of my collection are dry reds and ancient fortified wines. I do have a few whites but never drink them myself, usually only for guests if they prefer them...

I got a great idea from the last barossa tour I went on - freeze a bottle of port for the odd glass on a summer day, it doesn't actually freeze solid, more like an ice slush, very nice

chocolate port... now that's something you all have to try...

never had chocolate, is it just flavouring or is it like a port milkshake? hahaha ...

i do have bottle of blueberry port tho

it' just flavouring... discovered it at a winery in the barossa... it's called sable and it's delicious.. not the biggest port fan in the world but this stuff really rocks!!!

a great red wine is DeBorteli's Pinot Noir.... a bit pricey but their reds are always fantastic and even Toby likes to hack into the Pinot!

we also discovered a really nice sparkling from Curreny Creek recently. It's a pinot noir chardonnay mix... obviously more pinot, lovely soft rose colour and a very tasty bubbly, even for those who aren't bubbly fans...

i really have to get on another winery walkabout

yeah!!! we really need to get our acts together and organise an anthems winery day!

Ive tried Sable, not a big fan but its ok.

it's still port.. that's the problem.. if it tasted more like liquid chocolate and less like port it'd be my favourite drink!

i think theres already a thread somehwere about a winery tour

im in if it ends up happening. i like getting drunk for free...................

u like anything for free!!! I know there was a thread... should hunt it down and revive it. Considering December is pretty chockers at the moment a January tour might not be such a bad idea...

Majella, Leconfield, Fox Creek, Morris (shraz/durif - YUM!!!) Joseph - the list is endless and they're all fantastic!!! Working in the wine industry for nigh on 8 years has meant I've been very spolit - and collected a very large cellar for nix!! I know, poor me

Anyone want to come over & help me make a dent in it is welcome - I've got heaps of 96's & 98's that are probably going to be in their prime in the coming months I have a very large dining table too - anthems Beefsteak & Burgundy Club, anyone?????

ooooh, I'm yet to dip my foot into these murky red waters again after the huge falling out red wine and I had a couple of months ago....but NEVER SAY NEVER

Anything Henschke rules in my book! Hill of Grace esspecially.

But if you like a fine red with dinner i highly recommend Henschke Abbots Prayer

In all seriousity tho, anything from them is awsome, they dont make average wine.

I like both red and whites but i find red do me ova the next morning, so i tend to stick to whites

Not a fan of any wine as i hardly drink it besides the goon hahahahaha but white is my favourite but just pass me a beer to c a smile on my face

Harley

RavePrinces consider me as ur permant border anytime u want ill gladly share abottle of red or 3

beef n burgundy night sounds good as does the wine tour

Good-O!! I need to clear some space in the study....Probably going to move house again in a couple of months & really can't be arsed lugging all those cartons around with me again! Hmmmm......a "drink the cellar dry" party instead of a house-cooling, sounds aiiiiiiight!!

'maybe' red wine and I can patch things up before then

free stuff, free stuff, free stuff....i am evil homer!!

i dont drink wine at all! i've tried and tried, but i just cant stomach the taste.

i'm a spirits and beer kinda gal!

Don't worry babe, you'll grow into it like the rest of us oldies one day -

Being from the riverland i think Banrock Station make a nice sparkling shiraz,
i also lived in the Hunter Valley in NSW and their Peppertree Merlot is great but expensive
but since ive been living in the Grampians VIC ive come accross Micheal Unwin Durif its the best drop of red ive tasted yet!!

COUGH(WINETOUR)COUGH

yell out before hand a week or two and ill line up a truck for you to help out. and its no hassle to leave a case or two of reds in the back for me


love a good drop of red, u will have to cook dinner one night and invite me up for a romantic dinner and stroll along the west lakes shores

lack of interest need some butter menthols for that cough?
