Wine Warning

[rabet]

Just opened a bottle of Hardy's Legacy Shiraz-Cabernet 2014, from Tesco. It's horrible!

[ubasses]

Must admit that the fact that it is Australian would put me off in the first place. I don't think I have found one I can really say does anything for me yet.

[Tilly2]

Oh, that's a shame. What's wrong with it, Rabet?

[Psybbo]

Wolfblass Yellow Label £7 in Sainsbury

[tonyav]

Sling it, rabet and have a beer instead.

[Tilly2]

Save it for a beef casserole and open another one.

[ubasses]

good idea from Tilly

[Tilly2]

Hi, Sibs. I like Woolfblass, for special occasions.

[Psybbo]

Noooooo, don't use one that you couldn't drink, take it back to Tesco, maybe it's corked

[Tilly2]

...the Chardonnay, though.

[Tilly2]

Well, Rabet has yet to say what's wrong with it.....

[Psybbo]

Evening Tilly x and all

take it back -Tesco will change it. I've had bad bottles before and they change them or refund no questions asked. I've never had a bad bottle of Hardy's so its probably a one off. It can't be 'corked' because Hardy's don't use real corks they use plastic ones.

Tony, no stockist of GG locally!

Bit damning ubasses, there are some superb Aussie wines - whites from the Margaret River area for example, some lovely S-Blanc and Semillon blends and, for reds, around Adelaide (South Oz). I'm not a Shiraz fan but their Block 64 (blended with Cab-Sauv) was wonderful, reminiscent of a great Bordeaux (Chat. Margaux)........

Not even in town, Daisy ?.

[Caribeing]

Take it back it must be off as Hardy's is usually nice!

[DaisyNonna]

No, tried yesterday.

[tonyav]

Blimey I'm amazed, Daisy. If I were you I'd google GG for local stockists.
