Food, Drink & Dining Out The Wine Thread

[RU_]

Never been able to enjoy a wine until recently as I hadn't found one I liked.. my mates partner brought home a bottle of Brown Brothers Cienna when I was at theirs for dinner the other night and I actually liked it! What else should I try for those who know wines? What do you enjoy?

More of a Red than White drinker myself.

Of the Red's, Shiraz would be my fav. Pretty much can't go wrong with any Shiraz from the Heathcote region IMO! I also like Taylor's Shiraz as well for a value for money option.

Did a trip recently down to the Yarra Valley and tried a Champagne from Rochford. Can't remember the name of it but it was about $60 a bottle... absolutely outstanding (and I'm not a champagne drinker)!

Also don't mind the odd dessert wine either. I find Brown Brothers and De Bortoli generally pretty good.

Are Brown Brothers classed as dessert wines?

They have all kinds of different wines. White, Red, Dessert.

Brown brothers in milawa has a good restaurant. I like all wine really, except dessert. Enjoy red and white equally. Drink beer more often though as portion control is easier.

Had a couple of glasses of red wine last week - William Downie Cathedral Pinot. A bit steep at $60 per bottle, but a bloody good drop.

Bill Downie makes some great stuff. His 1000 candles range is legendary stuff. One of his more recent offerings, a petit Verdot, is great for the price as well.
I’ve been drinking a lot of Pinot recently, with my favourite being red claw from Mornington. Currently sipping on a bottle of rob hall 2016 Chardonnay from the Yarra valley, nice cool climate Chardonnay with a bit of time on lees from what I gather.
