I'm not sure I could bring myself to drink it. I'd probably lock it in the safe. |

"Cellar tracker is a good website for checking on vintage bottles of wine "
I think I'd regret drinking more than ever in the morning if I woke up to an empty vintage bottle.
We're more than happy with the 15 to 20 pounds range. |

A nice Australian blend tonight.
The Unexpected; Cab Sav, Sagrantino, Merlot & Tempranillo.
Normally dubious of blends but the Aussies know how to do a good one!!
Where can we join your wine club?
Sounds awesome |

fair enough but, what's the point of a vintage bottle if ultimately it doesn't eventually get enjoyed the way it was intended by the vigneron or vintner? |

The Australians produce some fantastic wines. They're not afraid to experiment or use technology. The Italians and French are a bit stuck in their ways. I'll inbox you about the club if you like. |

No I agree with you. In all honesty Its simply to do with affordability. The word Vintage alone puts it out of our price range. |

Oooh please do, thanks!
I lived in Australia for 10 years and really do appreciate their red's and a good white from NZ.
Back in Scotland now and loving the choice here. Wine's I had no access to in Aus.

Worked in the wine industry for ages. You do get what you pay for.
Faustino 1 is fantastic. If you get the chance to visit the winery go. They have caged caves where people have bought a barrique and laid them down. |
