A few recent acquisitions 1980s bottlings of Glenfiddich 15 and 18. 1980s bottling of Macallan 12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Arrived just now from the island

My summer planned trip to Cuba was scuppered so I did the next best thing... a whisky buying trip/tour of Scotland! Had a great week with a mix of rain and glorious sunshine. Some great pick ups too -

I have plenty of HV shiraz and I'm not a big semillon drinker. But I am out of those tawny, sparkling and sweet wines. And I've been meaning to go back to Capercaillie for a number of years to get their Shimmering Chambourcin. So yeah, tourist.

So do they make cream sherry in Burgundy? Thanks for the advice! I'll let people know you gave me the recommendation.

Those Peterson House sparkling wines...they are 'top notch' as we Australians are prone to say!

Petersons, not Peterson House. Same family, but Peterson House focuses primarily on sparkling wine.

Petersons has 2 cellar doors, one on Mount View Rd (the original one), the other on Broke Rd. Which is really confusing for some people as Peterson House is also on Broke Rd.

I’ve had these before and they were a good inexpensive everyday wine. I believe our own @Ken Gargett did the review our LCBO used. Picked up 6 bottles as that was all at my local store but may get more elsewhere if I like them.

May have gone overboard

13 year Lagavulin?  Didn’t know that was a thing!  Is it a cask strength release?

I picked up some Lanson Green Label Bio-Organic Champagne on special. This is an awesome Lanson product!

Been a while since I've visited, so I guess this is a good re-intro. Celebrating 27th anniversary with my bride! 

Cheers!

Found allocated heaven in Atlanta. Stagg starts a tad hot then mellows out. Heard to open it and let it sit a few weeks and it will calm down. We'll see. Found a honey hole with a couple bottles left. May go back for more.

Great acquisition there, @Nevrknow👍

Spoils from a recent yearly trip to Hunter Valley with a few of the Sydney FOH Crew.

You may notice one bottle is already open...started drinking the Keith Tulloch Per Diem Recolo Rose on the night I returned. Was too good to not have with dinner.

I know Ken will be critical of my choices but....
