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!

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
