I'm a big Jacob's Creek fan, but haven't had that particular wine, and certainly not decanted. I usually can't keep the wine around that long. Jacob's Creek used to be on sale for 99kc just like Tarapaca, but no longer, sadly.Grant Podelcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046561738258645391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-84832076180327055312008-05-25T10:48:00.000+02:002008-05-25T10:48:00.000+02:00That wine bar is near Café Girafe (across the road...That wine bar is near <A HREF="http://cg.2142.net/en/" REL="nofollow">Café Girafe</A> (across the road, I think).

Decanter it an hour before drinking. An absolute "Tyson". You won't know what hit you. Surprisingly close to a good pomerol or margeaux, although missing that "garlic-horse-farm-salami" undertones of the french grand crus. Worth every kc. A freaking treasure.Nicolas Makelbergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746987621986202126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-73902677472149927302008-05-23T10:13:00.000+02:002008-05-23T10:13:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nicolas Makelbergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746987621986202126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-24486309276192288732008-05-22T10:10:00.000+02:002008-05-22T10:10:00.000+02:00Hey, Stewart, I'll have to try that other South Af...Hey, Stewart, I'll have to try that other South African you mention.

When I drank my 1.5 liter bottle, it had been chilling for quite some time and was really delicious. That would go down nicely on a hot summer's day. I'll have to go back for another!Grant Podelcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046561738258645391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-10461504532294037142008-05-21T11:54:00.000+02:002008-05-21T11:54:00.000+02:00There are 2 South African wines just like this Ita...There are 2 South African wines just like this Italian you mention.

Funny is that it is originally from Spain, but it is used only as and addition to other "more noble" grapes.<BR/>In Argentina, though, specially in Salta (NW) it produces lovely white wines, ideal for summer.<BR/>I was the other day at Vin & Destilaty and bought a bottle of organic Torrontés from Mendoza that tasted simply delicious.Pivní Filosofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883511608403454943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-52839825215006758272008-05-19T14:53:00.000+02:002008-05-19T14:53:00.000+02:00Oh, man!

But you're right, it busts the $5 limit. But that's definitely the best all-around wine bargain going these days (when you can find it on sale)!Grant Podelcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046561738258645391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-41110808912030981182008-05-19T14:37:00.000+02:002008-05-19T14:37:00.000+02:00Tarapaca (Chilean) Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sa...Tarapaca (Chilean) Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon currently Kc99 in Hypernova Chodov would have to be in the running although I guess that blows the $5 limit these days (ouch!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
