Ken Gargett Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 » My friend gave me a new bottle of wine Penfolds Grange Shiraz 1992 how good » is it ? Thanks hi jimmy, apols, have been away (still am). if i ever miss any of your posts, please drop me a rude reminder. grange is the great aussie red, though it is in a style loved by some, less by others. good ones are superb wines. 92 is a good example (the one that gets the kudos is 1990 tho i think 91 better) but it is a lesser vintage. if stored well, will still be drinking very well and should do so for another five, may be more, years. auction here, it is probably $300ish.

Good work Jimmy....nice self control Of course...now that you are drinking 3 bottles of wine per day the blood test will certify you as an alcoholic with high risk of sclerosis of the liver ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
