Default SAS Wine and Australian DFA Port

I saw in a recent post a bottle of Prince of Wale's Own table wine - just thought I'd share these three with you. The 1983 Macon Superieur is empty ( drank it with my Dad on his 70th Birthday ) - the other two are full but probably not drinkable anymore. I also have a sealed pottery flagon of Port celebrating the Inaugural Year of the Australian Defence Force Academy which I think was 1986? Cheers Tim

A bottle I have (well, got two of them, picked at Kakadu Winery in 2003).
Mango wine, I think it is, I'm sure it's aged well over 16 years but I won't be drinking it.

I'm not sure if this is the one you meant that started this, which I posted recently; to commemorate the Battle of Albuhera.

Kind Regards,

Pete.

Here's one of mine - School of Armour Sergeant's Mess Dining In night - 18th November, 1989.

Still unopened. I reckon being port it should still be drinkable.

And since today is the 102nd anniversary of the Charge of Beersheba, here's a bottle of port put out by the School of Armour in 2017 to commemorate the centenary of the charge.

Hi Mick

What a great bottle sorry I didn't get one. And Hail the 4th and 12th Australian Light Horse for their deeds 102 years ago today. I will message my friend whos grand father Lt Col Murray Bouchier DSO, 4th Light Horse led the charge at Reersheba.

Regards

Phil.

A bottle I was given by an ex Member of the Regiment which I swapped for a Great War Medal Pair with another Collector!

The School of Armour @ Puckapunyal was selling them back in 2017. It was the only place to get them.

I'm sensing a theme here - badge collectors like wine !

Hi Mick,

Is the spelling 'dinning' deliberate and, if so, why is that?

Cheers,

Phil
