I have just received a small collection of wines & ports from my grandparents which they didnt want at home anymore.

Just taking a wild guess that your grandparents and maybe you are Aussies? Most of these wines and vintages are strangers to me but would venture all are ready for drinking and in the case of a few are past that glorious date. Unfortunately Aussie ports and for that matter ,most of their wines ( With a few exceptions ) are not collectibles and don't have any great residual value on the secondary market. There are some very solid producers on the list so I'll wager you have a nice trove of good drinkers. Good Luck WW - 25m4m - 03-29-2003 Yes I am from Australia and are my grandparents. Thanks for the information winoweenie. Well I guess it's time for me to pop a few open then, should be pretty good (hopefully). Thanks again. |
