What’s in Aussie Wine Guy’s Wine Cellar..?
We’re currently in the process of restocking as we’re now located back in Canberra, Australia. We have a selection from the Hunter Valley which needs to be indexed (and reviewed!) so check back soon for more details.
This is a select summary of some of the excellent wine we have put down into temperature controlled wine storage. As we open and taste each bottle, we will add our tasting notes to the website. We are in the process of cataloguing the cellar, this page will be updated periodically.

I have a grange 1976 with a torn label wine intact, would this devalue the wine?>
Hi Clif,
Congratulations, that’s a superb year and assuming decent cellaring conditions over the decades and that the cork is still sealing, you should have a spectacular bottle of wine there. If you haven’t considered, we’d recommend taking it along to one of the Penfolds Clinics for a check up (http://www.cellarit.com.au/wine-blog/penfolds-grange/dates-announced-for-penfolds-re-corking-clinics-2014/).
With regard to the label, it might affect the price a tiny bit, but not much unless the bottle becomes undrinkable at which point then it’s value is mainly as a collectable.
Cheers,
AWG
