Roast James Hird Commerative Cab Sav

[Godzke]

Poor taste by the Essendon Marketing department. Disguised to honour Essendon Hall of Fame entry as a legend, it's a poor beat up for the club. The equivalent of releasing a DVD entitled "2011 NAB Cup Runners Up".

Stick to proper marketing channels thanks.

Most likely left over shit from the Fletcher drop they released last year.

meh, at $85 a case if it's ok wine, who gives a ****. All clubs try and make a buck.

I remember buying some commerative wine or port or some shit for the 93 Premiership. Drank it straight away.

 

[Shane Hird]

Don't see anything wrong with it..

People will buy anything with Hird's name connected to it.

My old man has still got his '84 Premiership commerative jug of port.

 

[table tennis]

What's wrong with selling a product that people will buy?

Should the club shut it's doors? Well if it's going to stop trying to make a buck.

If you don't like it, don't buy it

 

[Philzsay]

The real joke is that he is only apparently worth a cheap cav sav!

For Hirdy they should be re-label a Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck Champagne worth a cool $275,000...

EFC may get Tony Greig to flog off the wine.

The $85 is a half-case price.

Meh.
Who gives a shit. They sell all sorts of embarrassing shit.

yeah I know, cases of wine these days seem to be almost all 6 packs. I'd be worried if it was 12 at that price. It does have to be drinkable!

Anyway, I bought some. Let the flaming begin

Reps if it can last you a month

a month???

Mate, 6 bottles will be lucky to last me a week

The only thing I'll be commemorating is my hangover

 

[DapperDon]

Give us a rating out of 10 when you open a bottle lance, after the Fletch drop I'm not sure I can stomach any more of it if it's the same.

 

[stay true]

Bloody hell Godzke quit making christmas trees out of the board with pointless threads like this rah rah rah.

that's concerning, but not surprising

I'll defintely give my tasting notes on here, but it won't arrive for about 3 weeks I reckon

 

[Bombermania]

I might be incorrect but considering we are or were spondered by a Winary then maybe they created the drop as part of our relationship!

 

[Redb#]

$85 for 6 bottles can't be great quality.

I'd buy one bottle for $85 to keep though. WTF am i going to do with 6?

 

[Godzke]

lol. I stand by my point though.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Pretty smart idea imo.

They'd make good presents for the Bomber supporters you know.

 

[windyhill]

I have `84,`85,`93`00 un-opened Port, for what am I offered ?

 

[daffo]

My girl bought us 6 bottles yesterday. I will be making sure that I keep at least one.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

ok, the verdict is in.

It's ****ing shit.

Nose of chateau la cardboard. Palate of vinegar with garish, harsh, dischordant overtones.

Cheap & nasty. Everything Hirdy isn't.

Not one iota surprised

maybe you should have put it in the cellar instead of necking it while still in the bubble wrap

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Hahahaha true

 

[AndyLesPaul]

Would happily pay for one (for cheap), in order to keep it to allow it to "age"

 

[AsIfYouCare]

There already exists a good drop with a black label and red sash - Wynns Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. If they wanted to honour Hird properly they could release an aged version of that with an extra label below the main label.

2004 should be good now.

Crap wine honours nobody.
