Lake's Folly Cabernets, with a few runs on the board, never fails to please.

Can be a bit hard to get and can be a but expensive though.

I have taken to drinking mine from a glass rather than directly from the bottle.

However one of the nicest reds I have ever drunk was from a pretty unlikely source.

When I lived in Narrabri from 1969 to 1976, a vineyard called Cubaroo explored growing wine on irrigated black soil. In 1975 or 1976 I thought I would do the right thing and support the local industry, so i bought a couple of bottles of the 1973 and 1974 vintage.

When I tried one that year, i was horrified at the taste and thought it was probably more suitable as paint stripper. I put the bottles aside and tried to forget that I had bought them. When I opened one fifteen years later, it was transformed into the nicest red I have ever tasted. Another one a further five years later was still really great, but probably just past its peak.

The nicest wine I can afford to drink reasonably frequently is Vasse Felix Cab Sav. I put a case a year under the spare bed and am now drinking 2004&5.

The nicest wine I ever had was, sorry for the cliche, a Grange Hermitage 1973 back in the mid 90's. I also had a 1984 vintage.

Rockford Basket Press 96 fav, rest all good though.
Rockford Black sparkling shiraz--Liquid gold.
Haan Merlot--Any vintage
The Old Bastard--By Kaesler--Barossa--Yum

Mr Riggs Shiraz Viogner --Yeah Baby

Thats just local but some great from Chile, california and Bordeaux.

Sad part is, I have them at my disposal all too much but hey I won't die complaining I never had a good drop.
