The fine wine thread

FTFY

Not everything from Springfield.

But Everything from Springfield Estate.

@Candystore , next time you do a function, put Springfield Thunderchild in 99% of the decanters, and one bottle of Springfield Wild Berry 2019. When the people ask you what wine it is, tell them that you are not sure, but maybe think it's Springfield Wild Berry, about 2019-ish.

Wild Berry ... or Wholeberry ?

Oh, also, @RonSwanson ... I am off alcohol for a month or two, but now I really want to try Thunderchild!

I may have mentioned it before, but after opening a bottle today I was reminded of this one: Boplaas Ring of Rocks. Very well priced too.

Family Reserve - Ring of Rocks

The Ring of Rocks is named in honour of the ancient agrarians who built stone circles in order to determine the changing of the seasons.

Wine tasting event at Kanonkop earlier, the 2010 Pinotage and the 2011 Cab Sav were brilliant - got 2 magnums of each.

A nice woody and buttery chardonnay, hard to find these days. Followed by one of the best rose's I've had.
