Guest BobbyD Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Poor, poor pitiful me, darling has gone out to dinner with girlfriends so home alone. Exercise now done, so what's for dinner. Love to keep it simple Sergio (KISS) so a classic pasta. Spagettini, Mondo's hot Italian dry sausage, bacon, garlic, basil, red onion, red pepper, truffles, evoo and some very tasty Adelaide Hills Coates Chardonnay to deglaze the pan and some for the pasta some for me during prep. Make sure to boil pasta aldente. And all the while listen to Mr Tony Bennett live and unplugged. And for dinner a glass or two of Wynns 1998 cab sav....... Darling should go out more often..... No,no... Just kidding. Link to post Share on other sites

dave1 138 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The label of the Dalmore is pretty old. Is it the kind of $45000 Dalmore that Richard Peterson has been raving about?Sent from my SM-T330 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Today I rang to chase up the above wine to which the response was my order was lost and the wine has sold out but we have some other stock you might like. I have asked for a refund and will go back to buying wines direct from the wineries. Link to post Share on other sites
