A few wines to try?

Posted in Uncategorized on 29/11/2010 by gayparis

I haven’t updated this in a while and I was just having a glass of wine and thought maybe I should post something about wines. Here’s 4 that I’ve tried recently that I thought were good and aren’t on the too-expensive side.

Oldbury Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2010 – From down my way at Southern Highlands Wines. This was one of two Sauv’s that won a gold medal at the Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit comp – The other was from Marlborough, NZ which is a given.

Mount Michael Sauvignon Blanc 2010 – Everyone drinks Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough now, but this one is real good.

Barwick Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 – From Western Australia, their White Label range. Nice tannins, a little oaky – Great with a BBQ.

Tyrone Estate 3 Generations Shiraz 2007 – I love shiraz, and this is a really smooth, full bodied one. Well rounded with a long finish. Good value.

Anyway, back to mine.
Yessssss.

The unholy princes of swamp rocking shack stomp return to Adelaide


That’s right, chums…
We head back down to Adelaide on December 17 to shake it out with The Beards at Jive and then rock The Crown & Anchor with Grenadiers on the 18th
Following that, we have a little business to sort out with one Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

Black Cherry Xmas – Shake your jingling bits

Look, normally, I do whatever I feel like, but apparently giving real information instead of excellent stories is important too. Fucking loud mouthed American overlord. Doesn’t she know that a pimp gotta have some respect for their bottom bitch? Shit.
I’d just like to clear a few things up before we get down to this PR thing – Yes, we’re opening, but that is because Smokin’ D has to get back to his country shack early to pray for a beard.
We’re more likely to take your womanfolk than Torch Le Monde.
That is all for now.
