I did a search but "2 up" yielded 199 pages. With "2up," I found a note about the 2006 which didn't sound promising. I received a bottle of this as a gift and know nothing about it.

Well, it is the thought that counts.
I can always put it on pancakes.

If we ever meet and I gift you an Aussie critter Shiraz, you'll remember this statement, yes?

I was just impressed Icewino gifted you a bottle.
Enjoy your pancakes.

I'd be afraid to drink it.
"Winemaker Notes - Named for a popular Australian game of chance, 2 up is created by Kevin and Helen O’Brien, producers of the highly acclaimed Kangarilla Road. The wine is an elegant, intense and exceptional quality Shiraz that is hand-crafted from a blend of grapes carefully selected by Kevin from highly prized local vineyards. According to Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate, 2 up represents 'the type of wine value that simply can’t be found in California.' ”
do with that what you will.

Here is a description from a store on Commack, LI.
$8.69
Supple, ripe, plush and generous with its mineral-accented black cherry and coffee flavors. Long and seductive.

So it sounds like cooking wine. Thanks
How long will you decant? Will you stand it up first? What will you pair it with?

I may poach pears in it.

I thought you enjoyed pears.
I like a full-bodied, albeit one dimensional, wine for poaching pears.
I had the 2004 and posted a note on it. It wasn't bad. Of course, I had written the note at a time when I liked Oz wines more than I do now. I can remember having it later and not liking it as much.
Your idea of using it for poached pears is good. I've made your poached pears with wines similar to the 2 Up and they came out fine.
If anybody here has never made Board-o's poached pears, you owe it to yourself to try them. The recipe is in this thread. Awesome stuff and very easy to make.

Glad to hear it! When I started making them, I only used Cabernet Sauvignon, but I've used Monastrells from Jumilla and Shirzes with just as good results. It's a great dessert after a heavy meal.
