Wine. My second favourite thing to ramble on about
I buy to drink, and buy to stick down for a decade or so.
I love a decent red, but not a super strong, peppery shiraz. Therefore a bordeaux style blend often gets me.
Current favourite is Henschke Euphonium Keyneton Estate. About $50 per bottle in a case. Superb now and it just grows over 10-15 years if you're patient. I also have some Barolo and general Nebbiolo under the stairs waiting for a special birthday. They are terrific but pricy.
Love a Hunter Semillon. Mt Pleasant have a great old vine Semi. Terriffic. In fact they have several really decent wines on their website.
I'm also tasting some exotica atm. Spanish Temperanillo of course and some Vermentino from Italy and some Sangioveses. The Sangiovese is fantastic.
I'll go under the stairs later in the day and give you some labels i particularly like Bmal.
