| Post subject: | Intro |
Hi All I am a recently joined member and would like to introduce myself. I thought I'd post here because there is no obvious place for an introduction. I am almost obsessed with bagging wines on offer and having been using this site as a resource for quite a while. Hopefully I can now make a contribution also. My wine taste is varied. I like Old and New world reds alike and I would generally go for MSB for whites. If I had to choose a favourite wine I would probably go for Rockbare Shiraz (any vintage) which is not available in supermarkets. Recent wines that have really impressed would be: Santa Helena Pinot Noir 2008 Co-op Tupungato Cabernet Malbec 2008 M&S M Chapoutier Belleruche CdR 2007 Majestic Marlborough Estate Reserve SB 2009 Co-op Cheers |

GK - The Belleruche is a wine with a lot of finesse for such a low price tag. I hope you enjoy it. I enjoy other whites too (Vouvray is a fav) but tend to go for reds. Dunc - I have indeed skulking, whilst contemplating how to make my first post. Rockbare Shiraz Goosegogs - I did indeed get this on one of your reccomendations, which was a very good one. It was only £4.99 (not offer price) but I have not seen it in Coop for a few weeks which is a shame. Thanks for the welcome guys |

Good, a man whose discovered the beauty and value of a good Vouvray - Passes Muster then. Cheers for the * Rock bare link, the '06 was a big bugger at 15% - How is it drinking now ? If U can remember ? Deeper, carries it's balls well ? (appendix Mel) Reliable quick ref. OZ chart * Tim Burvill, "doing cartwheels round the fermenting sheds that year" - amusing, nice small and interesting producer. I'm looking at Barossa Shiraz also Clare and Coonawarra on the '06. Will be definitely worth putting some of the good and energetic ones out of sight for a while. |

Dunc, Apparently Burvill learnt his trade at Penfolds. I finished my last '06 a few weeks ago.  and it was fabulous. The vintages are very consistent and drinkable pretty much as soon as they are available over here but a wine of this size will always benefit from a little rest. It is easily big enough to handle the 15%. In fact they make a wine for M&S but its watered down at 14.5% and it shows. It's still a fair wine when on offer but you can get the real thing for the same or a little less than the full price. The alcohol is more noticeable in this weaker wine than the 15% one.I have a single bottle of his Barossa Babe Shiraz 04 which I have not tried before. I will let you know when I decide to open it. Don't laugh but Asda's Extra Special Coonawara Cab Sauv '06 is a very well made wine. Its made by Katnook I think. The '05 got a Silver Decanter but I reckon the '06 is better. Well worth the £7 and a must buy when on offer. |

Ive just noticed that my local Indy stocks the Rockbare Shiraz, £10.50 a bottle, sound about right? Will check it out. http://www.worthbrothers.co.uk/index.ph ... ia3&page=4 |

Also see from your chart there Mr D that the Yarra PN gets a 9 for '05 & 06 vintages. have you comitted yourself to any yet? |

Thanks Mel & Shezza GK - I have bought from various online merchants (whichever is cheapest at the time) usually for between £9 - £9.50 but then there is the delivery charge and you have to buy at least 6. |
