2008 Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz
WS94 $24.99

One of the best value shiraz one can currently buy in Vancouver. From the importer:

No problem. The reason you can’t find the 2008 WS rating is that it won’t be public in Wine Spectator until December. The winery gets notification in advance. I have attached it for you.

As for 2007 it made the Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2009 at #43 – 92 pts (Oct 15, 2009) “Polished and generous, offering a racy mouthful of tobacco-accented cherry and black currant fruit that finishes with an edge of dried sage, licorice and fresh cream. This lingers impressively, showing amazing depth. Drink now through 2017. 8,200 cases made.”

I hope you enjoy the wine.

Where to buy.

dealing with celebrities in luxury hotels Source: Kiwi Collection blog: Michael Jackson will be sorely missed by all of us here at Kiwi Collection…but will he be missed by all of our hotels? MJ was a frequenter of many of the fine hotels in the Kiwi Collection. And, well, he wasn’t always the easiest guest. Here are some of Michael Jackson’s most memorable hotel moments. Michael Jackson Unleashes his Inner Child at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower: 2007 Are we really surprised to learn that Michael Jackson demanded that a children’s xylophone, sweets and gigantic 6 foot by 6 foot mirror be brought up to his room while he was checking in to the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London? It was rumored at the time that he was in London in 2007 to sell his rights to his catalogue of Beatles Songs after running up huge debts which were believed to total an unthinkable £180 million!
