The Mildara 94, Rosemount and the 96 Leconfield should be crackers.....enjoy!!! ....

Cracked a 94 Mildara last night. It was a late decision, so we had to wait a little for it to open up (about 90 minutes). Lovely drop. Still loads of fruit AND some tannin as well. I think there's still 4 of these waiting for me to find them - and at $15 each (sorry, $16.65 after 11%) from an auction, I would say a bargain.

Very quaffable, great value for price paid ($17) and partnered superbly with a lazy takeaway roast beef pack

Wednesday quaffing.

Happy hump day🍷

We have now knocked off three days of the Cape to Cape hike 53 kms.

Time for some vino tonight for the hikers, a magnum of Dave Powells GSM from my portable cellar 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🍷🍷✌️
 

This is seriously hard yards, the weather has been crap but in a strange way the time of our lives, we are feeling our age 😂✌️

Thank you, that is a really nice blog🙏

 

...and for all the doubters out there, he actually rated my recent $6 foray quite highly 😀😀😀

Cant do Bundy, its been around 35 years since that horror time, New Years eve at Portsea, Silly me drunk a bottle of that, that afternoon/evening...only to be totally trashed and collapse in a heap, I've never had it again..Yes it was my fault.

when I smell Bundy now, I still have flash backs.😵

EPL night at home. Hopefully back in the pub in couple of weeks.

Jacques Lassaigne Les Vignes De Montguex Extra Brut Champagne; France. 

Had a great lunch at Oncore by Clare Smyth yesterday. Very very exe wine list, so did matching wines..  grabbed an extra glass of this Neb.

 

Views speak for themselves 

 

 

Bringing things back down to earth, I had a modest but also pleasant evening last night, StereoNet was down when I tried to post this in real time😀

also from last night.  Bare with me, i not the brightest, just explain to me once more...where is this wine from 🤔
