Was Pennyweight amongst them and if so what were they like?

Pennyweight make consistent product plenty of fruit and full mouth.Probably all beechworth wines are a bit thin and drink now rather than the big cellar for later reds of Rutherglen or the later released McLaren Vales which we enjoyed when we went to the Port Adelaide match.

Re Rutherglen would be interested in your report on Vintara/King Jack. Newly acquired by the Chinese I did not enjoy the wine tasted but the very cheap bottle I took away tasted well. May have been a tasting room problem.

Theres many fine wines from Rutherglen so wont recommend any let your palete be the judge.

I was impressed with the All Saints release and I dont normally say that.

    Whoops just read the entrails of the thread and realised I have experienced some space time continuum problem. Sorry to interrupt with a now long gone diatribe. You were right about the swallow or spit reference which needs to be applied as code for more activities. Does one swallow and consume the full offering of the thread or just spit it out choosing to move on in the hope of finding something better. You were also correct that there is some pretentious element to the practice of tasting. You have to indulge in it when you are legless. I did indicate that while I tasted a few of the offerings it became cloudy and difficult to recall when I gave up tasting and started drinking.

    Have been to rutherglen many times, and to Vintara when it still had the brewery. Haven't been there since the new owners in place. Thought it a bit pretentious anyway, but may give another go.

    Ha Ha Ha !! I think that reinforces my comment about lack of taste, discernment etc etc!!! It will be a guzzle fest with the occasional attempt to make some sort of educated comment. (good nose.. tannins a bit overdone .. another year or two... strong plummy taste ...etc etc) FMD!!

    Ok, let me edit my comment. I will be tasting a lot of wines as always, but only buying those that impress!

    I done some back ground checks on our old Professor and found out he was once an English Punk Rocker who made a TV series back in the 80's.

    His real name is Vyvyan

    Have you been into BBO's family photo album AGAIN?

    BBO it is about whether you spit or swallow, and I am talking exclusively about wine tasting here. A true sommelier such as myself or as I am sure Demoneyes is can get through any number of wineries yet still enjoy the marvellous grape varieties and vintages of the wine district one is visiting at the time. A wine tasting tour is not to be confused with sculling beers in the back blocks in places like Blackwood!

    Thanks Earl but I think you may be talking to a brick wall

    My worry is where is BBO he seemed somewhat distraught last night. He seemed to be confused about spitting and swallowing in wine tasting and how you could work through an entire wine district and still play a round of golf. These are complex scenarios I know and I believe Clint has worked his way through this. As for me last time I toured Rutherglen I forgot to spit and was at one point what the lads used to say in my day as well and truly "fly blown" the next day!

    Yes EH (nice Holden in that one!). I must say i dont do the spit often but am well seasoned enough to cope with many a winery! Maybe BBO is a bit of a teetotaller and cant cope!

    Draft day must be close, as Foxtel changed their listings to finally show the draft being shown at 6.30.

    I am over joyed for you Redleg

    Sadly perhaps I have only modest interest.

    A decade of failure with high draft picks has dulled my enthusiasm

    Surely there must be a 'Molly' among the DL usernames. Who else would you choose to do the Countdown?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
