I Think i'am going to combust with these constant hot days here in Cowra NSW, Everyday is either the high 30's or just on or abit over 40, We had a small change with abit of rain last week which didn't really do alot. Everything is so dry as you would expect in the country, Just my winge for the day.

You have my sympathies, I am a weather whinger - no higher than 24 no lower than 16 - that's my ideal weather.

Good crops eloi.I just graft the vines-change over the varieties.Very lucrative.2 bucks each.If I push myself I can do 75 per hour.Lots of free wine too but I give it all away. Only imbibe shiraz occasionally and only if it's $75 or more a bottle.Snob that I am😊 Grafted at Jasper Hill in Heathcote once.Try their shiraz-$75-125 per bottle.Nectar😊

Sounds like hard graft spot (sorry, that was bad)

Jasper Hill booze is pretty good - you've developed champagne tastes there

Come down to McLaren Vale, we've got some premium shiraz too.

What are you grafting over ? Chardonnay to something trendy is my guess

so your a grafter spot, not welding spots.

No sound! UHGGGG!

I've a bed like that. Made in Birmingham.

Anyway, my assumption is that Bob spotwelds brass beds.

Hi pct001.
Lots of tempranillo and pinot gris going in.I'm grafting verdelho at the moment and chardonnay next week.Last job for the year,then down to Sydney to buy more music,rest up and then off to Womadelaide and John Zorn at the Arts Festival.I earn that much I can afford 5 or 6 months off a year.
South Australia has the best reds.Had most of them-Hill of Grace,Grange and one of my faves,Jim Barry's The Omagh from the Clare Valley.I bought a bottle of Chateau Margot many years ago.That was excellent. Won't go there again though.Its about $800 a bottle nowdays. I can buy a lot of cds for that money😊

PS Dominic Versace's Shiraz is also excellent.He's situated at Angle Vale just out of Adelaide. You can purchase at his little vineyard.A nice chap, if you ever venture there say hi from his grafters😊

drank a drop or two of italian pinot grigio in ireland. not a bad drop.

Re: Goodness Me

spotweldersfriend — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:45:40 GMT

Haven't tried pinot grigio,eloi. There are few Italian varieties being grown now. Vermentino, Montepulciano,Graziano are just few that I've seen
