I ordered a case a week or go. Should be getting it soon.

Anyone on here had the Emblem Shiraz? Any good?

    Bought a case months ago - yet to taste but Heathcote Shiraz from Tyrell's I bought 2010 was a knockout, which is why I went for the emblem series. this is likely to be similar. Terrrific big red area, Heathcote.

    Sounds good!

    Sounds great, but can't find it on the website.

    Want to order a case. Little help?

    If it's the Rufus Stone Shiraz from Heathcote, and the price suggests it is, then it's terrific.

    Halliday rates it 93 and says "Light red-purple; the fragrant, red berry bouquet is lifted by the 3% co-fermented viognier, and the palate has more drive and thrust than the light colour would suggest, yet leaves an overall sense of elegance."

    Enjoy.

    Any Rufus Stone from Tyrrells is beautiful, Especially the Shiraz.

    I'm most of the way through my first case, and will be ordering another. I'm not sure whether it's Rufus Stone under a different label, but it's certainly a lovely drop and excellent value. The emblem and the story of the emblem on the back of the bottle, make a nice conversation piece when entertaining fellow AFL fans.

    The description on the bottle says: 'The Heatcote Shiraz is rich and powerful, being sourced from an ancient strip of Cambrian soil said to give these wines their unique structure. We hope you enjoy this wine over the next few seasons.'

    A few of my Demon mates will be getting a bottle in their Christmas stockings.

    If someone from another team's forum was reading this thread, they'd sure be getting a laugh over how cliche it all is... imagine that.. Melbourne supporters talking about red wine!

    In other news, I think I'll get some to share around at Christmas, and also keep for myself. Love a good drop, and Heathcote produces some damn nice reds. :)

    Whilst on one of my favorite topics, any single malt drinkers in the house?

    I finally 'got it' late last year and am having a ball exploring the world of single malts. Any recommendations for good smokey, peaty goodness?

    Talk about off topic. :wacko:

    I am an avid fan. Look for Ardberg and Laphroaig (both Islay malts) - stick with the basic Ardberg, but some of the (dearer) quarter cask Laphroaig versions are worth the extra. Talisker from the Isle of Skye is another beauty.

    Bloody hypocryte aren't I? But hell it's all grog!

    Mono love your suggestions Ardbeg right up there but I tell you what I'm on a bottle of the Laphroaig Quarter Cask at the moment and it is blowing my mind! I can't stop talking about it. I think this is what happens to people who first discover the pleasures of the good stuff. Thanks for your suggestions mate!

    Baranows cigar bar in Hawthorn had a night on with these Islay malts and it really opened my eyes. Wow!

    I havent tried this particular shiraz - had one recently from Strathbogie that was amazing.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
