Might try the import wall. I know they've set up under the new lay out of that means anything for ranging.

 

[Bazal]

Not really, no. Most of the imports are extended range so it'll be a matter of what sells for them. But I'd be shocked if they didn't at least have the Aradon, I think company wide it's our biggest selling import (apart from shitty Marlborough Sav Blancs of course). If they have the Nero d'Avola I do recommend it though, it's very enjoyable

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

They have the piana Del Sole Negroamaro and the Primitivo

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

No Aradon though.

 

[Bazal]

The Primitivo is pretty nice too, actually. If you like Zin. Shocked they don't have the Aradon

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Not a big Zin fan tbh. Is the Negro any good?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

P.S. Can't believe you have Metala at sub $15.

 

[Bazal]

I haven't tried the Negroamaro...I like variety though, very rustic

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'll give the Negro a crack and report back. You know what juice went into it by chance?

 

[Bazal]

All I know is it's 100% Negroamaro, without some of the extras that are allowed to be blended, and is imported from Puglia

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Good to know. Fingers crossed its a belter.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Get on board Baz, bloody good wine! Very savoury, but by no means overpowering. Great value for $13!

 

[Bazal]

I'll have to give it a go. I was actually surprised I hadn't tried it when I thought about it, I reckon their range are very tasty wines and it's the only one I have yet to try.

Wolf Blass masterclass tonight....

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Went to that last year in Brisbane. I "acquired" a bottle of Platinum Label that night...

 

[Bazal]

I didn't bother...not very impressive across the range tbh. For me anyway

How's the move going Vince ?, hope you settled in ok mate.

I received a bottle of Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz for my B'day last year from the gorgeous Mrs. Johns. Might open it up & emjoy on Sunday with lunch, really looking forward to it. has anyone tried it ? If so thoughts.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Almost sorted thanks mate. Leave here Monday morning, crash at a mate's place in Singleton for the night, then off to Sydney the next day.

 

[Bazal]

Just walked in to work...Wynns Black Label Cab 18.70. Are you kidding me?

 

[Twizzle]
