nice one
I actually like the Bin 128 Coonawarra. I've knocked off a few of the 128's and 28's from the 2001 release. Bit young but very enjoyable. Looking forward to the 2002's

Ever tried the St.Hallett Faith, especially 2002? It's a beauty. It's bigger brother the Blackwell is also a ripper but one that will need more cellar time. If you haven't get on em, I'll wager you won't be disappointed.

Finally the big Shiraz's are coming out.
I really enjoy the Bin 28. Its a bit of a poorman's Grange. I have several bottles of 93, 94 and 98 lying around. Great Barossa Shiraz (blended with other regions of course, but still mostly Barossa)
Bin 128 is also a fine drop. 98 was a ripper. Coonawarra and Shiraz is a good bet anyway.
You can't go past St Hallets. Old Block is a bench mark wine, and the Blackwell and the Faith are still very handy wines. Love St Hallets, my favourite winery.
Another brilliant Barrossa Shiraz is Rockfords Basket Press. Pricey, but worth it (especially if your paying with the company card).
Charles Melton is another to keep on eye out for.
Peter Lehmann makes some nice approachable Shiraz from the Barossa, that is reasonably priced. Most people would have tried it - it is on a lot of Resturant wine lists.

Anyone had any good Xmas or NYE's plonk?
Had a stunning Seppelts DP 57 Tokay at Xmas dinner - I was the only who knew it, and everyone was a bit relunctant until they had a taste, and then that was the end of the bottle.

Haselgrove Vignerons make it. It's from McLaren Vale. I hadn't heard of it until I tasted it just before Christmas, then gulped a bottle at a dinner party and got blown away by it. Have another bottle right in front of me which will be gone by the end of the week. About $26 should net you a fine bottle of the Black Billy. It absolutely wipes the floor with the Chandon Sparkling Red.

On Christmas day, we tried a variety of new wines, including a white lambrusco, and a white shiraz.
Both were sensational- very nice for summer.

no really- it was a light pink colour. Very nice, and quite sweet.
Can't remember what label it was

I also have a bottle of stout called
Double Chocolate Stout.
Can't wait to give that a nudge. Should have a report by this time tomorrow.
