I love the Wachau gruner made by Grabenwekstatt. Taking one to a lunch on Saturday. Impressive quality.

Seeing that Freycinet reminds me of visiting there in 2018. Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot are both excellent and the fizz just seems to evaporate!

Agree Quickben
Curly Flat Pinots are wonderful and an absolute bargain in my books
Most Pinots from Macedon Ranges are excellent including Bindi

Mrs Pete and I had a Tasmanian bubbly at our wedding 23 years ago, long before Tasmanian wines were knowledged. Can’t think of the name of it but we bought 4 cases and they were all gone before we realised it. I’ve been trying to track them down recently (thought it might a nice touch on our anniversary) but can’t remember it’s name, thought it was something to do with fish.

Interesting. I’ve had some very nice GVs over the years … or so I thought.
I had most likely aged then a few years, maybe this helps?
Pete if you want a fantastic Tassie sparkling wine
If you can find it - Stefano Lubiana Grand Vintage
It’s about $80 a bottle ( around $10 cheaper if club member ) , I just polished off the 2010 vintage last bottle , it’s a beauty, I see all sold out so I’m trying to track down somewhere but no luck so far damn it. Must find out when next release is, it’s only made in best seasons.
It’s fantastic for special occasions I’m sure you and Mrs Pete would really enjoy it , quite robust and meaty shall we say
I don’t bother with overpriced French champagne anymore
There are so many sparklings coming out of Tassie now and by and large they are excellent

I do enjoy the local bubbly but I don’t mind the odd French champagne occasionally.
Yep - meant to say occasionally do the French stuff but by and large the Tassie ones do it for me
Some of the French rose champagnes are magnificent if you have a spare $200 in your hip pocket
Struggling to read that, what city are you in.
Some crackers on that list William

Fromm Clayvin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013 from Marlborough Region , South Island NZ
It’s absolutely wonderful , I was a bit worried that it wouldn’t go the 9 years as most from that region usually go for around 5 years or so
Bit of a stunner

A quick search comes up with Bream Creek - was that it ?
No I didn’t not think so, but thanks for looking.
