yes, why not... I'll start

cracked and let a 2009 Wyndham Estate limestone coast Cab Sav breathe and relax for a bit this evening, just swilled the first and not bad, viscosity on the glass is good, on the palette; a lil chalky but actually nice with the flavoured remains, lil hit of fruit , not too sharp ........

Purchased at: Dan M's
Price: $14.95
breathing time: 15 mins
would I drink a bottle in one sitting: No
would I buy it again: Yes.

and another daily drinker

Breed: Mongrel Creek - Merlot Cab Franc

Price: $11.00
breathing time: drink now
would I drink a bottle in one sitting: yes - but I would prefer the Deep Wood
would I buy it again: Yes - great value

Notes: Get an airator for about $30.00. We got one. All the wineries use them.
They are cheaper than a decanter and yes - the wine does taste better

This is the aerator we got

Worth every penny

Not quite on the same line but went to the Tocal Field Days in the Hunter Valley on Sunday, found some Dr, Jurds Jungle Juice, busy using it right now to get rid of the flue, seems to be working though I may have to increase the dose a little just to speed up the recovery. :tu::D:yes:

Hmmm my kinda thread..

Grenache from Mclaren Vale SA is going down a treat atm..
my fave is Samuel's Gorge Grenache.. ooh yeah baby

Grenache Rose for Saturday arvos with my girl on the deck

any Shiraz grown in the Heathcote region Vic cant be beat..
Lake Cooper estate Corop Vic Sparkling Shiraz hmmm mmm for sundays.. :)

might look at your template one day..
i find the bestest wines are really only offered as Cellar Door stock
will look at ports when winter gets here n the fire is crackling away

ordering online is the best without the beer swilling masses at the bottlo :lol:
