Ferrero Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hope you're all well and fully recovered from the copious amounts of chocolate consumed this past weekend. On the flip side of the Hermosos No. 4 review we had the Corona Gorda. Did it fair any better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planetary Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 This video: Is the 34th time (on camera) when there's some kind of recording mishap discussion. Is the 15th time Ken has made a plea for roller codes. Surprised we haven't had much discussion of fashion or Ken's wildlife of late. Carry on, gentlemen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Regarding the sparkling shiraz... a local source has the All Saints Sparkling Shiraz Rutherglen. Is that recommendable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Regarding the sparkling shiraz... a local source has the All Saints Sparkling Shiraz Rutherglen. Is that recommendable? not one i have seen for a while and not one that pops up in discussions of the very best but they are a good winery (i'm surprised as i would expect it is usually a cellar door release only) and i'm sure it will be a good example of the style. definitely worth trying a bottle.

Carry on, gentlemen. i'm stunned at those figures - i would have thought way low on both counts! perhaps a lot of stuff-ups and roller code pleas are being "Edited".

Ferrero Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 How many times have we run out of battery recently? Battery life is only 75 minutes and it stays on the whole time you guys are doing the review so I think I am set up to fail there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Any noticeable similarity to the 898 UV (2002 discontinued)? I haven't had one for a long time but can't really remember a chocolatey note to them, certainly not the LE chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I think I'm more interested in the sparkling shiraz! Our local liquor monopoly used to carry Katnook and Jip Jip Rocks. I could drink those everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could drink those everyday. katnook a top coonawarra producer. jip jip more in the bargain category, i suspect. interesting that the names being proffered are all non-Barossa producers which is where the great ones (with the exception of the seppelt show reserve) all hail from.

The Katnook was far superior. Made for a $10 price difference here over Jip Jip. Too bad neither are carried any longer. I could drink this stuff exclusively TBH.

Webbo Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Tried one a couple of weeks ago in Berlin at the LCDH. The one I had was certainly good and definitely Partagas, have to agree with Ken though that this does not put its head above the parapet when compared to a good D4.
