I travel well.
If you travel down to Sydney for a drink, the absolute least I can do is open a good wine.

A fine drop indeed, as is their Art Series Cabernet (which Margaret River is more known for).
Very large grower with vineyards to the north of Orange. I think they may've picked up some of the detritus from the Reynolds Wines' mess, a tax dodge which burnt quite a few winegrowers in the central west in the early 2000s. The crew who own Belgravia also own the Union Bank Wine Bar in Orange, well worth a visit if you're in that town. They have a sensational bottle shop next to the wine bar.
Belgravia wines are always good, clean wines, and reasonably priced.

I have not been able to find this at any of my local and not-so local bottlos - any tips on where to get it in Syd?

Most Dan Murphys, I got mine in a Brisbane store.

Picked up another beauty.
Kay Bros Brothers Basket Pressed Grenache (Mclarenvale). $25
No shrinking violet (if this wine had an arse, it'd be a J-Lo). Be seated before drinking. Food Match: another glass refill.

Big fan of Kay Bros. Their basket pressed Shiraz is great, as is their Eden Valley riesling.
Had a Taylors TWP Botrytis Reisling last night.
Very very impressed. It is a sticky that doesn't have the suck your lips in syrup of De Bortelli Noble One (Chez Jarse comparison benchmark to judge all other Stickies).
Recommended if you want a sticky with some light and subtle flavours that doesn't assault you outright and instantly demand your full attention.
Reasonably priced at $22 per bottle.

A Brum would say Goat Balti. I'm off down the Pershore road for a Balti Goat Tikka and a giant Naan. I'll stop by the offie for some Tennents.

Had a Grant Burge 2004 shiraz over lunch with my parents today. Very good it was too and still had plenty more to give.

I'm going over to NZ in November and have booked two days post the Vintage Rugby Carnival to go to Blenheim to tour the Marlborough vineyards on a bike. Any recommendations on vineyards and cellar doors to visit. I'm partial to the Awatere sav blancs, Clifford Bay and Astrolabe, and also Catalina Sounds.
How is this thread on wine any different from this wine thread: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/community/threads/wine-thread.3248/
Perhaps time to merge the two?
