Hey thanks for this, good buying with the groupon voucher and cashrewards, about $27/bottle, and collect from around the corner! Too much temptation out there.

thanks, brilliant, pm sent.

I'd be super keen to grab an invite if possible! The den deal on IB Syrah is v v tempting. Cheers

The stonier reserve deal looks good - can anyone here help me with becoming signed up to the den? I don't (yet) have a WF subscription, but am contemplating... Thanks!

I can't get the voucher to work on that one, unfortunately...

Hmm. If one is 'scholarly' one could guess that this was not the Xanadu. This reconciles my FOMO of the mof_ somewhat.

Too late - all gone. And I was keen... sob.

I'm suspecting the Mitolo Serpico. Can't find info online though for the 2012.

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals At present my powers to resist a deal from the 'fo need considerable development, so I inevitably made the purchase. It comes in a dozen at $198.

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals Greetings mof_s. From a perusal of Halliday the new Black Market Margaret River Cab Sav would appear to be another Sandalford: Sandalford Estate Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2009. I 'boomed' the 2010 quite a while back, and it is very good. That wine...

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals I tried the Mitolo Cantiniere 2013 tonight, and rather enjoyed it. I didn't find it to be a poor 'fo deal - it had good fruit, length, body and balance. Some seem to have some expertise on reliably judging the price point of a wine and I admit I don't have a...

ah, minor additional googling reveals that it is likely the ulithorne la familia, a new label and bottling made from local (but not their) grapes: https://ulithorne.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/ulithorne-wine-spring-babies/

I'm also guessing Ulithorne, and bought a case on this presumption. Further evidence is that the vinomofo website has a placeholder for a $40 ulithorne shiraz, found by googling: https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/ulithorne-shiraz-2014-31779808 although it is currently just an empty...

I was wondering (hoping!) the same. I'd be surprised, S+S don't need to discount! Also the winery price is $45 for the 2013, not $40. I'd suspect more likely Heirloom, they usually price at $40, but it is not called a reserve. Nor is S+S's pinot.

My VM broker seems optimistic.
