Delicious flight "Red Blends Australia". Flavour, intensity, balance, even some elegance. #ivwa2012Rhys Pender MW
Best quote all day comes from Kim on syrah #5. "I wouldn't want to get into a street fight with him. He'd kick me in the teeth." #IVWA2012Amanda Allison
A rainbow of fortified wines to finish the day. #IVWA2012 http://pic.twitter.com/zLrAlhAHB. MacPhee-Sigurdson
Sad Cab, bad Cab, mad Cab - Canadian wineries, remember we are a cool climate region. Not many decent Canadian Cabs <$25 #IVWA2012Gurvinder/Vinomania

Interesting flight of random white single varietals. Lots of discussion round the table. #IVWA2012Amanda Allison
#IVWA2012 I'm sure my panel might want to disagree, but solid flight of SB. Good examples of both NZ and non-NZ wines. #pushemallthroughTom Firth
#IVWA2012 great little Sauvignon Blanc flight...some nice minerality...and the bitterness was controlled in most...good work.Brad Royale
Wine judges at #ivwa2012 have new found healthy lifestyle choosing frisbee between flights instead of beer.Rhys Pender MW

Australia is full of elegance. The people, the wines. #ivwa2012Rhys Pender MW
A flight of 12 sub $25 zinfandel to remind me that life is precious. Some good, some truly lousy, and a few I could recommend. #ivwa2012Tom Firth
Hotly anticipating our white blend flight! Riesling features prominently.#IVWA2012DJ Kearney
