What do you Drink...

Straight pepsi max

Not a beer man, prefer Stella, Peroni or Carlsberg on a hot day after mowing.

Prefer the odd red.

Can recommend:
Cat among the Pigeons - Shiraz
Pepperjack - Shiraz

or

Tulloch's Cab. Sav. or Dry Red (if you can find it).


Some good wines there Russ. Enjoyed a 2013 pepper jack a few nights ago. Great drop.
You would probably like a Martins Shiraz. Don’t pay full price though.


HIGHLY recommend Lakes Folly if you can get your hands on it.

Haven't had the old Lakes for donkeys - didn't know they were still going. I knew that Max lake died in 2009 following an accident and thought the winery in Pokolbin had closed since. Apparently the Foggarty family have taken over and only produce two wines that cost a fortune. The question is ......Is it still as good as Max Lake's Folly?

Russ, now that you mention it I remember going through that area about 6 or 7 years ago and pretty sure the cellar door was closed at the time. I was disappointed because I’d never been there. Still haven’t. Slept a few nights in the merlot vineyard, which I was very grateful for.

I haven't had any Lakes since about 1985 - 90 - the guy over the road was going up to Pokolbin and I got him to call in and grab me a half a dozen Lakes on his way past. That was about it. Spent many years working in radio in the Upper Hunter at 2NM and enjoyed many a good wine from Denman Estate, Arrowfield and Sobels Queldinburg just this side of Muswellbrook. Moved to 2NX in Newcastle and had many trips up to Pokolbin and Tulloch's Winery and Brian McGuigan was the wine maker at Wyndham Estate at that time where 2NX put on a free concert, which went really well. Not a bad drop either Mate. Ah! those were the days.

I thought Lakes Folly only ever made two wines? The Cabernet & Chardonnay? And they have always been expensive havent they?

They are still exceptional and last year they were $75 a bottle.

You may be right - I only drink red these days, so not sure what is happening with whites.

Think they are still approx. $70 - $100 a bottle - bit rich for a pensioners wallet, I can dream though, since you say they are still exceptional.

If any bottle of wine is worth $75 these are.

I bought 6 last year to give as gifts to clients. They are still in my cupboard a week out from Christmas. Cant bring myself to give them away, cant bring myself to drink them. Whats the point?!?!

Main thing is, don't keep them too long and then have them go off.

I've done that before, unfortunately.

Yes good wines, I met Max a few years ago.


Must have been a while ago, poor buggers been dead for a while.

Yeh, around 1980. He’d only just started his wine business 10 or so years.


I met him a couple of time late 80's. really nice guy. Great wine. IMO the only decent wine in the Hunter.

Tamerlane is pretty good, did a really good late Semillon few years back. My favourite white I've ever had outside of the 2014 Ring of Fire late Semillon I had at my wedding. Tempus Two does a good Verdelho.
