About two years ago Sazerac Rye was near impossible to come by and now it's everywhere and for about $25-30 a bottle too.

My next acquisition I'm working on, Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon, is currently not available in most major liquor retailers where I live, for example. However, I'll find a way to acquire it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I say? I love Rye Whiskey! john, i did see four roses advertised somewhere here a while ago but i can't recall, i'm sorry. checked the sazarac out at dan's site - $130. too depressing after hering it go for $25 to $30 offshore.

Got me: - a couple of bottles of the 2012 Henschke Marble Angle - a couple of bottles of the 2014 Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 1 - a bottle of nicely aged Rioja sarah crowe, who was doing a great job at brokenwood, has taken over the winemaking at yarra yering. she is a superstar. not seen much but it seems the wines will be better than ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a pity Ben Glaetzer never made any more after the 2004 vintage. It was around the time they were re-branding, and I guess it didn't fit with the rest of the range. fuzz, i'm a little bit lost here. back pre 04, it would mostly have been colin glaetzer making the wines (for those outside australia, he is the twin brother of john glaetzer who made the wolf blass wines for decades - the two of them literally have their own language. they sit and chat in high speed gibberish. no one else can understand a word but the two of them follow perfectly). Ben would have been assisting i assume. but Ben has had his own label for ages. just to be confusing, it is 'Glaetzer' (i think the other might go under 'Glaetzer family winemaking', but i do not know the corporate structure and it might be all Ben now). Ben makes fantastic Barossa wines - amon-ra, annapurna, wallace, bishop etc. get on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite agree with that. Ben does make fantastic wines. I've got a case of the Bishop and a few bottles of Anaperenna. Just went downstairs to take a pic of the back label of the Glaetzer Shiraz. You are right, Colin did have a hand in it (made by both Colin and Ben). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
