We loved it and will buy it provided it is on offer. I dont like to pay £10 for a general drinking wine, probably because of the number we go through in a week.Les Dormannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493891423071521124.post-64137362939312245532011-02-10T14:48:50.422+00:002011-02-10T14:48:50.422+00:00Tim

I know Fairleigh Estate is one of those "exclusively made for us" wines from a well-known company (is it Wither Hills?), and I've always been a bit susicious of these arrangements. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm off to NZ in a couple of weeks and will also be spending time in Yarra Valley and the wine regions west of Melbourne; if I come across anything particularly exciting I'll let you know! I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some sparking shiraz in the Grampians.Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493891423071521124.post-70578905115405200322011-01-31T14:23:49.056+00:002011-01-31T14:23:49.056+00:00Hi Giles,

I'd give it a 2/5.<br /><br />Others were:<br /><br />Fairleigh Estate Chardonnay 2008 - 2/5<br />Lirac 2007, Cave Saint Desirat - 2.5/5<br />Château Guiot 2009, Costières de Nîmes 2.5/5<br />Dr Loosen Riesling Beerenauslese 2006 3/5<br />Deutz Marlborough Cuvée - 3.5/5<br /><br />I actually just had the Deutz yesterday, and was really impressed with it.<br /><br />I can't remember the ones my brother in law bought, except and Peter Lehmann Wigan Riesling that I threw into his cart (which I've tried/blogged before). I drank that on my own with Christmas dinner while every else had the reds!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09968034904842826283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493891423071521124.post-36666427515089338342011-01-31T13:08:58.423+00:002011-01-31T13:08:58.423+00:00Tim, are you able to list the Majestic wines you h...Tim, are you able to list the Majestic wines you had which didn't impress, so that those of us who buy from them regularly can avoid?<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.com
