Hello everybody
On the grapevine, I came across this gem of information earlier today and thought it might be of interest to those who enjoy juice of the grape
TAHBILK WINERY WAREHOUSE SALE
SATURDAY 13th SEPTEMBER 2014
10 am till 4.30 .. . ( but I don't think there will be too much left at 4.30 )
I was chatting with the cellar door staff who suggested that a 6 pack of reds will be marching out for $45 and whites $35
and to me that is a dead set bargain at $7.50 for a Tahbilk red
website http://www.tahbilk.com.au/ (http://www.tahbilk.com.au/)
for those of you who know the Nagambie area will know of the great camping spot at Mitchell's Crossing on the Goulbourn River
for those of you who don't .. this is a great opportunity to make the 150KM trip from Melb CBD and enjoy a very beautiful piece of our wonderful state, see Black Caviar statue, wine tastings at Tahbilk, pop out to Mitchelton winery, 4x4 Mt Black and all round great company
below I have attempted to copy the spiel from the Tahbilk newsletter ...

This is the day that our Warehouse Manager loves because all of those small parcels of Bin Ends , Export overruns, damaged label stock and clean skins that she keeps tripping over are cleared!
Tahbilk, Dalfarras, Everyday Drinking, and "Other" labels from the broader Tahbilk Group portfolio will be on offer with the common theme being outstanding value!
End Quote
Speewa and I have decided that we will take the camper out for a run and stay the weekend out at Mitchell's Crossing so we would be delighted to have some company
PM me for directions
or just come up for a day trip !! Tahbilk is a lovely place to visit

i was there yesterday and sampled their current Red releases.
All are extremely immature wines. Need lots of cellar time.
But....what an amazing estate!

Depending on what you were into would point you in that direction . Did you walk through the cellars under the sampling room , well worth a look . Tahbilk has the oldest red wine grapes in the World , yes the World . At 168 years old & counting they are going strong . Well worth a look too
lm in , so who rill roll up , who knows ??? but it will be fun . l will chuck in a load of wood as there is nothing out there , But you can bring your own . :cup: :cheers:

I didn't know tahbilk made bottles with green labels Jamie?
Their Marsanne used to be my favourite drop.

Typical north east red, needs a good 4 to 8 years to prevent ripping taste buds of your tounge!

Areeee you must understand l can be handy as the designated driver when going on a wine tasting tour . Hopefully some on the tour that have decided to sample the juice of the grape will have kind thoughts of the driver . :cheers:

I spent too much last time I was their, they make a great bubbly red which I need to get more off

Agree with Mace. Mmmmmm. Had a laugh back in 06 as wifeee and I were on a road trip to Melb and did not even know we were going to pass by. Saw the sign heading Sth at 4.50pm A quick handbrake turn (it was a company car so all good ha ha) and arrived at the Cellar at 4.56pm. $350 spent in 4 minutes and one very heavy boot for the rest of the trip. Good excuse to find lots of BYO's
Wish we had more time there.

I'm beginning to think this winery weekend is a bit like the Apollo Moon landing.
Did it really happen? All talk, no substance!

SJI - hint hint

I must admit .. we missed the ultimate photo opportunity ... or several of them actually
1st would be of Evil scott dropping a box of wine on the cellar floor .. and watching horrified faces as red wine oozed from the carton
2nd would have been the back of the pajero with 2 engels and 16 dozen bottles of wine stacked up around them
scott had to lean over the top of them before the back door could safely be opened
3rd photo op would have been some 30 odd boxes of wine on our nature strip while Jamie got the bag trolley to start carting my share into the house
btw ... I don't consider the 2008 shiraz viognier .. a "campfire red" .. if it does go to camp .. it will definitely have a decent stemware accompany it
and scott does have a photo of his lot waiting to be loaded into the cruiser .. so u will just have to wait for him to get home and attend to the postings
hugs
