Andrew,

I recall tasting a 2nd tier Palliser (Pembroke ??) which I thought was
an excellent softer version of the Palliser. I believed it was going
to be substantially less Retail than Palliser.... (around $20AUS per
btl as opposed to mid to high 20;s for the Palliser). which I thought
would be a great intro for those a tad reluctant to shell out that
kind of money on Palliser.

Any info Sir?

Hooroo......

PS: I am still waiting for a certain Kiwi to come good with his lost
bets on Rugby & Cricket.... :>)
