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.

    Have set it to record already using my phone app.

    Yes the excitement is getting to me.

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
