So your first name really isn’t “Half” then?

I meant “could”, if you so desired

I also forgot the link:

Thanks for the suggestion, Price, but I might pick you up on point 2. It most certainly will not!

There is a marvellous wine from voyager estates from the margaret river.

It’s lovely
It will keep for another 20 years
It’s rather expensive
It’s named after me

It will be Australian wine. I like to go for my mate’s favourite wines, as this gives me the opportunity to tell him exactly what he is missing everytime I open one. As he is a Strayan, all his favourite wines are Strayan too.

I entered into this standing bet in 2002, so I’m currently losing 36-24. Only twelve bottles down – imagine saying that in 2002.

Any suggestions for great Aussie wines are most welcome (price no object, ha, ha, ha).

Excellent! 😀

But I wouldn’t advise having the same bet with a South African any time soon.

Top gloating, Bert.

Will it be Australian wine, or are you likely to get something a little more civilised?

You’re an amateur gloater. Pros don’t explain.
