Red Alert! Red Alert!

[p38arover]

Flamin' heck. It's after midnight and I'm home from work to find there's no red wine in the wine fridge - apart from a '99 Grange! :mad::mad::mad:

Very hard to do that in most places in Oz:p

Well, today, go find a Dan Murphys and try a bottle of "South Eastern Australia" clean skin, Reserve Cabernet Merlot 2007. It is not bad for the price :D
I usually buy it in two carton lots :)

[CraigE]

Drink the Grange.
On second thought send it to me.:twisted::twisted:

Speaking of "Grange". Back in 1986, the Brother His mate and I did a trip across the Simpson Desert, in his new Turbo Sahara. The idea was to camp on one of the flats, in the centre, cook up a Lamb roast in the camp oven, and wash it down with fine wine.:D

Bro's mate, Brian Vaughton, brought along a bottle of 1965 Grange and a 70's Hanwood port (His Mother owned the Kings Head tavern in Adelaide) which he dug of from the cellar of their Hotel.

I tell ya, a roast with salt bush smoke in it, followed by liquid gold in the middle of the desert, is a night I'll always remember. Especially when a dozen Dingo's turned up at 2am sniffing the leftovers :eek: Gee they were big dogs!

cool,, One less to give away at cooma.

I picked up a case of Cab Sav from Dan Murphy's this arvo on the way to work.

Yep. As you don't drink, I'll have all the Grange!

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Bastards! :D:D

[dobbo]

Ron

Anyone could just go out and buy a case. Your a super moderator, surely you could organise a dozen blonde bombshells, just like NM, to crush your grapes with their bare feet. Alternatively get them to feed you grapes off the vine whilst you sit back relaxing in a hammock wearing a Toga.

If I had a dozen blonde bombshells like NM, do you think I'd be wearing the toga? :wasntme:

On that basis I would remove the Grange from the fridge and put it somewhere safe - until YOU want to drink it :cool:

[RobHay]

The dashing young chap next to him is the "BlkKnight", and the one on the far right, "Incisor".
The guy leaning on the corner of the BBQ is the one and only "Woven Rovings" and next to him would be a "Numpty"..

So there you go, Ron.

We still haven't drunk that last bottle of Grange. As you may recall, we drank one bottle last January on my 60th birthday.

We think we have to keep this bottle to celebrate our daughter's graduation from Medical School in a few years time - or my imminent retirement. :wheelchair:

Ahh, less than a month to go before I go on 4.5 months long service leave. :thumbsup:

Don't do what I did Ron

Was given a bottle of Grange (can't remember the vintage) a 1948 Grandfather Port and a 1956 Hardy's Show Port on my 21'st B/day.

Had them for ten years just keeping them for that very special occasion and then my house burnt down :(

[Xavie]

Well Ron, with your luck it may have turned into vinegar by now!

[dmdigital]

If you live in the tropics... Trust me it needs to go in the fridge:(

As to why you Southern's see the need though:confused:

[p38arover]

Oh, Rick! What a loss! :(







Pity about the house, too! :wasntme:

No, I don't mean to make light of the house fire. That would be devastating even without loss of life.

Because the temperature swings quite a bit around here. Over 40 deg C yesterday.

[abaddonxi]

Had a lovely Hill of Grace, from one of the better years.

Ex girlfriend gave it to my best mate for some favour or other.

Sensible bloke put it away to celebrate my firstborn.

His dad needed something with pizza one night...

Simon

[p38arover]

I haven't tried a Hill of Grace (I don't think).

[p38arover]

Well Ron, with your luck it may have turned into vinegar by now!

and to this day (nearly 13 years ??) I haven't had a sip of Grange. The wine deities are punishing me for my attachment. :D

The closest I've come is a few bottles of St Henri.....and damned nice it is too :)
