The Wine and Food Society of Ballarat Cellar is in fairly good shape, with 1350 bottles.
I am recommending an increase in the cellar fees this year. They have not been increased for several years, and sourcing good wine, particularly imports, is becoming expensive. Red and white burgundies, bordeaux, and top level Italian wines are more and more expensive, and the exchange rate (.65 Euro for one Australian dollar) is against us. I recommend increasing to $600.
As regards our cellar, I have recently been happy to add some great Rutherglen fortified wines, some Italian whites, and some Margaret River cabernets. I am looking to add breadth to the varieties represented, and to a lesser extent countries/areas.
In the near future, I plan to clear some orphan bottles by offering them to the membership (not having a complete contact list has been my stumbling block). Please watch out for this, you may see something tempting.....
Please see the current cellar list (attached).
