The Final Juice

Yup, the countdown clock is ticking furiously.
My days of living in Leith Park is greatly numbered.
And what better way to drown my sorrows than a bottle of wine?

With special thanks to a HockHua Tonic exhibition in Compasspoint, I manage to snitch the last bottle of Five Geese McLaren Vale Shiraz 2004 at a bargain price! (I think it was below 30 bucks.)

Surprisingly, the experts concur with my tastebuds too! I Knew my cheapskate predilection wouldn't hinder me from finding gems such as this.

"Medium-bodied; very good texture and structure; ripe tannins run throughout the blackberry and cherry fruit; overall elegance."

"Great nose of Vegamite, beetroot, and licorice an even better palate - well rounded and flavoursome with lovely soft tannins. One judge's comment 'yum'."

But it was slight pity that I had to pair this lonesome highfalutin (Thanks Kuan Yew for this word) habit of mine with an Annoying Orange.
