@VinoViews @NickThurDon @doughtagnan @drinkersite @midweekwines @ADHalliwell @coopuk Good to see a specific region on an Aussie red too always a good marker

@VinoViews @NickThurDon @doughtagnan @midweekwines @jimofayr @TheWineKiwi @colinonwine Hi Dave, it certainly is a solid wine and the Penfolds stable just go up in quality from there and I’ve had the privilege of trying Kalimna, Bin 389, the incredible St. Henri and even Grange. But I love the fact that Koonunga is affordable but without confected sweetness too

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@doughtagnan @bodegariojavega @Adnams That looks bloody superb 👌

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@jimofayr @VinoViews @Aimetu @NickThurDon @midweekwines @TheWineKiwi @doughtagnan @colinonwine I still occasionally have a Kiwi Sauvignon to transport myself to a sultry Aussie evening with fish and my late father

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews @Aimetu @NickThurDon @jimofayr @midweekwines @TheWineKiwi @colinonwine @doughtagnan Where can I buy it Dave? I’m always on the look out for affordable fizz options

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews @Aimetu @NickThurDon @jimofayr @midweekwines @doughtagnan @TheWineKiwi I love your food choice of Thai with the Yalumba! Clare Riesling also goes well with pad Thai noodles. Would like to have had the Rioja too 👍

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews @Aimetu @NickThurDon @doughtagnan @drinkersite @midweekwines I had one last night Dave and it’s a pleasant enough lager at a good price too

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews @Aimetu @NickThurDon @jimofayr @midweekwines @doughtagnan @TheWineKiwi Coonawarra Cabernet is almost always a hit 👍 compete heartily with Margaret River for Aus’ best Cabernet

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews Both look fab 👍

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@Photos_in_Chile No, but financial reality and having a 9yr old probably means it won’t make the priority list when most travel these days involves visiting Aus. I had a romanticised notion of living in Havana for six months and writing

@VinoViews @JamesHubbard113 @BGazeley The Vinorium - at £15 ish this is entry level for their business but boy have we had success with the more special options from them - we buy a mixed dozen and make them last a year

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

This 2017 Heathcote (Victorian) blend is stunning. A Vinorium import and remarkably fresh with a touch of bottle age and a funky blend of Shiraz, Malbec and Cab Sav and a hefty 14.8% alc. Its very very good

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@VinoViews @JamesHubbard113 @BGazeley Intense, long finish Dave but avoiding that cheap jamminess that Aus sometimes uses as a masquerade

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@JamesHubbard113 @RidgeVineyards @PoggioSalviWine @pietrosd @jimofayr @WineMan147 @Liam3494 @ArdenPaul4 @timmilford @frankstero @JohnMFodera @ConsBrunello @SantaCruzWines Not often I see you pull out the Ridge goodness lol, I’d love to try a bit of Cali quality but sounds phenomenal mate - fab!

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@WineMan147 @GrgichHills @tapsocialbrew Stanton and Killeen of Rutherglen fortified! Oh yes 👍

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@WineMan147 @wine_australia Great to hear mate and I’m really pleased you have had some brilliant experiences to start 2024. Hope you are well

[Stuart Lawless @stuart_lawless]

@WineMan147 @wine_australia Aw, very envious and hope you had some great wine with great people. So much more to Aus wine than £6 supermarket offerings as you well know
