This thread now delivers!

Nothing better than guzzling a few bottles of Château Lafite whilst thrashing my way in my 4wd off to my fav fishing spot!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Don't worry guys, I've been down the cheap plonk road as well , we all do, but in my mid 30's I was introduced to Red Wine, and in fact used to drink St Henri on a weekly basis ( then $10 a bottle , now about $90), and once you drink the good stuff it's hard to go back.

Mind you, unless it's for the collection I rarely spend more than about $15 for an everyday red , eg I'm current drinking Annie's Lane Shiraz from the Clare Valley that I bought for $11.90 per bottle ( min 6) at Dan Murphy's in Cairns.

One thing I can say is my guzzling days are over, how I feel the next day has put paid to that !!

Rather invest in good craft beer, $120 a case isnt that much really.

Riverside do some great Hoppy brews and are oppostite my local bunnings so win/win

I will turn over about 20 reds a year so top up every other year by going wine tasting at the hunter/barossa/margaret river.

Works for me

@Ryan @Mark from Brisbane @ManlyBacker @ChuckWood
If we are doing a gathering, can I suggest Amsterdam? It really is lovely this time of year :)

I may be back for a brief holiday trip in February

Lets do a get together then. Wonder if @Matabele could or would make the trip, and @Chuckwood. Like old times :)

Sounds like a weekend I'd want to be invited to mate.

Nice.

There is a lot of whining on this forum so it works in the double meaning as well.

Top shelf no Coldies or Crownies were harmed in the making of this thread

To be honest this is the most Silvertail thread possible...

In our new(ish) joint we actually have some space in our downstairs which remains pretty consistent temp wise...and the plus is my wife is as keen a wine drinker as me so I am in the process of turning it into a cellar (racks and maybe a lock for when the kid are older!)

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

 

[Captain Moondog]

There's nothing wrong with a bottle of Bin 389 but the price you pay for it these days is ridiculous. Rouge Homme is a good stand by and I'm partial to a drop of Hill of Grace but to be honest nothing compares to a bottle of Invalid Port in a brown paper bag in the Botanical Gardens shared with people of quality.

 

[Go manly]

Cheap gear is the ticket of the binge drink, i don't always drink but when i do **** gets messy

I don't really ever get a chance to drink so when i do i hit it hard,I'm not having a dig

Don't be misled Cherry Poppins

Just because I was lucky enough to to (find) 48 bottles of fine wines ) don't believe my discipline allowed them to stay in my cellar for more than a year

They either evaporated or got spilt or some one drank them

An old song said "it's hard to leave when you can't find the door"

By the way - my drink of choice is a bottle of royal reserve and a stones ginger wine sitting right now on the beach trying to catch a Jew fish in front of a fire in the sand

Port finished Half a bottle of the stones to go
