Enough of the distraction.
Leysy's favs:
Clearly Mike Press. Ex Penfolds winemaker who branched out with his wife years ago. No marketing, very little sold in bottle shops - pretty much all word of mouth and only sold online/cellar door.
You simply won't get better reds (Pinot, Cab, Shiraz - in particulart) for the price anywhere. Around $13 a bottle by the case and easily worth 2 to 3 x times that.

Others - for Shiraz/Cab's value under $20 - Anything Tahbilk, Pirramirra, Mitolo, Leysy loves and are excellent.

Not that I drink it but there’s a classic example of brand destruction by marketing wankers when they decided to f around with a successful product years ago.
Talk about f’ing around with a brand that was a bit of an institution. First, despite howls of protest, they decide they’re gonna reduce the alcohol content. Then, they resist the continued years of consumer discontent and plummeting sales only to finally, sheepishly, change it back. Massive egos at CUB obviously.
And NOW….they decide they’re gonna go 180 degrees the opposite direction from years ago and make a ballistic 6% !
Just bring back the original John Meillon ads you dheads. Problem solved.

Maybe they wanna be the 1st Aussie beer to reach 6%, but I reckon this will fail in sales. Let's see.
Well they’ve royally f’ed up the brand at every turn so why not continue the trend.
Wasn’t it Australia’s most popular beer at one stage ? Surprised it even exists now.
There is no thread for it but I’m feeling no guilt at enjoying alcoholic ginger beer.
I was given a six pack of Ponting labeled wines for my birthday a while back - quite surprised really, we have polished off 2 and they are not to bad really.
Recently had a go at brewing my own GB after misses got me a kit.
Kit recipe turned out *smile* and had to tip it out, second batch was very dry had to add sugar syrup to it.
Got a batch now that has just finished priming/carbonating, is in the fridge gonna have some on the weekend
Matsos, Lick Pier and Royal Jamaica (if you can get it) are all good GBs
Did anyone ever come across trough man on the Melbourne club scene some years ago?
Dude would go to nightclubs and just lie in the urinal while people pissed on him. Seemed pretty harmless so everyone just sort of ignored him.
I'd rather be trough man than drink another mouthful of VB.

I prefer Brookvale Union or James Squire GB myself.
Bundaberg are doing an alcoholic GB as well
Agree on the James Squires, but the Brookvale Union wasn’t to my taste.
My favourite is a NW Tassie GB you can’t seem to get on the mainland, Henry’s.
