I will be coming alone but looks like we may have more participants this time. Great!
Tentively I will bring a new world Shiraz. However if we have more new world Shiraz/Syrah I will dig deep into my cellar to find that old world bottle.

 

[ikileo]

oops, we will keep our shiraz/syrah a secret as it's supposed to be blind

just bring what you can or what u have.

would you have any rhone whites as well?

 

[hkm520240]

I thought we want to have a balance of new & old world Shiraz/Syrah.... Anyway I have not reveal what I will bring in the end

 

[hkm520240]

I don't have any white Rhone and my whites are mostly Chardonnay & Riesling....

really newbie with wine here..

I have decided on a bottle of from new world. Errmm... is it alright that I haven't really tried this shiraz I have decided.. but based on various reviews and some readings.. I hope my choice will be an appropriate shiraz for this burger event.

Hermitage Wines has released that part 1 of their mega sales.
some nice stuff, but must filter through.

Nah, I think it's more of a response to wine exchange asia's Cloudy Bay SB offer.. $40 vs $44.. It's a really deep discount..

By the way ikileo, can you confirm the address please? Am trying to locate it on google map but can't find it, yet..

wah they seem to be selling for collectors/traders!

 

[ikileo]

Wonder if they all buy direct from the winery or multiple middle men. Curious as to how much they are squeezing their margins.

Cloudy bay SB is like the de-facto NZ SBthat people buy in bulk. I guess retailers are banking on the large volumes to make up for the lower margins.
