Smokin Joe Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 For those based in Melbourne they sell the Bloody Shiraz at Wilson & Market, a cracking restaurant at Prahran Market. If you are there in time for breakfast try out the eggs en cocotte.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 1
JC67 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Happy to hear other opinions but to my taste the 2017 is not at good as the 2016 which had a little more bite 1

They got in contact with Australia Post, the bottle was located and the delivery completed the next day! The Four Pillars team are just fantastic! I aim to give one of these bottles to Fuzz this weekend and I hope to do a vertical tasting with the 2016 and 2017 batches too.

I aim to give one of these bottles to Fuzz this weekend and I hope to do a vertical tasting with the 2016 and 2017 batches too. for the 2015 (i think they skipped 16, unless i got something different), much smaller run. not sure if that made a difference. i think the 15 has more vibrancy, more exuberance. the 16 more mellow, more complex. i probably like the pop and wow factor in the 15 but enjoy both. 1
aj60s Posted June 18, 2017 Posted June 18, 2017 I managed to get a bottle of 2016 vintage. I'm pairing it with Hoyo du Prince right now and this is just great. Thanks for recommendations! 1
Westside Threat Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Working really hard on getting some of this in Los Angeles. Won't know until July if my persistence has paid offHurray!Bloody Shiraz is officially available in the states. Sure does pair well with cigars, glad I listened to you guys.

Benzopyrene Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 So its been a whopping 6 months since you guys turned me onto this, and Ive gone through full bottle already.....I don't drink much hard liquor, so thats like a 5 year supply for me. Ive also gone through a bottle of their rare dry gin (which is flippin phenomenal). Even my dad decided he'd drink Gin and Tonics if they all tasted like this stuff. So I raise my glass to you Aussies for the finest gin in the land! Dilly dilly!
Ken Gargett Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 the rare dry is the basic one so you should have no problem with that. bloody shiraz is more difficult but keep an eye out. something new-ish is to be announced soon but i have been sworn to silence so can't say. but keep an eye out. finally, i see this dilly silly on beer ads. what the hell does it mean? 1

What does "dilly dilly" mean? According to the advertising agency, absolutely nothing and everything.
Ken Gargett Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Just now, Fuzz said: What does "dilly dilly" mean? According to the advertising agency, absolutely nothing and everything. so it is a bureaucratic/government term used mostly by politicians?

jay8354 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Ohhh... New Offerings.... Must keep an eye then
PapaDisco Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Yes, 'bloody' good recommend by Ken. We ended up finding it in Vietnam last August and now in the U.S. It became such a favorite for one of our friends that I now must schlepp a bottle with me to Ecuador next month for her birthday! Odd note about the Bloody Shiraz gin (the Rare Dry is fantastic too) is that it has a relatively short shelf life for a gin.
Fuzz Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 It is meant to be consumed reasonably quickly.... but then again, with how it tastes, that's not very hard! 1
Lotusguy Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Was going to have a Pimm's cup tonight but I bow to peer pressure 1
