“Dave gets on the piss”: Edition #220 Had these at work today. Tar & Roses Sangiovese, Prosecco and barrel fermented Pinot Gris and a Tyrrell’s Rufus Stone Heathcote Shiraz. No tasting notes but all were very good and I’ve put them all into the range (except the Gris which is limited).

Love T&R.

They make pretty good booze, no doubt

Best red for $15 Dave...?

There are so many options! St Hallett Faith Shiraz is pretty good. Jacob’s Creek Reserve Shiraz. Wynns The Siding Cabernet. De Bortoli Pepper and Spice Shiraz. All of those are good at $15 or so

Dave. Do you have any recommendations for a bit of a Xmas wine list? Be in Brissie, so need some fresh notes and chill. How about a rose or pinot?

What’s the budget per bottle?

But open to spending a bit more on a couple of speccies

$30? I often try and buy in bulk through vino mofo

Rose I’d look at Bird in Hand and AIX (if you’re happy with an imported one). Pinot see if you can get hold of Devil’s Corner Resolution. Red Claw is another good option. Or Corryton Burge is another I’ve had recently that was good value.
