Geez mate,

Business must be good, being able to buy a case of it.

Me, I've never tasted it but one day I'm going to take Bev to a tasting night at the Penfolds Magill Winery and wear a big smile for a while:-).

Actually, I bought one bottle of Henschke Hill of Grace back in the 90's during a "Gourmet Weekend". Cost me $30 for it which was the most I'd ever payed for one bottle at that time. Bloody bugger in front of me bought a case.
91 vintage I think.

Just checked the wine rack and the Hill is a 1989 so I must open it soon.
Also have a 1991 Cyril Henschke Cab/Sav.

These are the last two bottles of Henschke wines I possess. I used to make a point of buying a couple of bottles each year during the Gourmet Classic Weekends, back when I could justify this brand. Now, they have priced their grog beyond my willingness to buy it. Even the Keynton Estate is ridiculously priced.

Plenty of other good wines to choose from though.

Mate ..did you take my 2 bottles?

Some bloody people ..give 'em an inch and they'll take the red straight from under yer nose. What's this flamin' country comming to. Time was when an honest bloke coud leave his plonk at the bottle-oh to pick it up later, but now ..Oh No! Ya gotta be there the day they put's it in the bloomin' bottle in case some lurkin'lonko' sneaks in and pinches it. Ah keep it!

It's probably a crook year anyway!

We got married in 1971 and at the time I brought 2 bottles of grange to be opened at our 30th Anniversary (if it came). Well it did and we opened both bottles with the full bridal party. One bottle was beautiful and one tasted like p*ss. Very dissapointed at the time. We gave the bottle to the restaurant owner and he immediately put it in his wine display cabinet. I was there last week and it still sits in pride of place and looks unopened. Nobby
