Wines were as follows.
Domaine de Nalys Chateauneuf du Pape 2004 Traditional style maker using all 13 grapes allowed. but the bottle wasnt showing well... will try again .
D'arenberg Hermit Crab 2006 Viognier and Marsanne blend. dry...a bit rustic. not typical over the top Australian but I have noticed that the whites from Australia tend to be very mineral and linear in style, not the big fruit bombs their red siblings can be...especially in the riesling...
St Jean di Minervois Muscat Vin doux so it has a brandy added to it.. Softly sweet not overly cloying would be good with a blue cheese or creme brulee....
WInner of the day... Chambers Moscadelle fortified also. Golden yellow, white raison and toffee on the nose and the mouthfeel was on the the most luxurious i have had in a long time.. talk about umami, that fifth taste sensation. It was all cream and caramel and I bought in some because if it doesnt sell I will buy it. I didnt even ask how much but i am thinking its around $17 for a 375ml
