Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[blackcat20]

Has anyone grabbed a mystery pack with a chance to win a grange from Dan's before? Are they typically good value, obviously assuming you don't a get a grange.

The $99 case I bought in April was pretty decent.

Usually these mystery deals are wines already featured on yhe site. My best guess would be curtis cavalier 2013

Secret Cancelled Export 2012 McLaren Vale Shiraz 6 Pack

I don't know what it is, but a rough guess would be the Curtis Cavaliere Shiraz 2012, they've had it in the past and the 2013 is on their site currently with RRP $70.
It's under cork.

If it is the Cavaliere, it is good value at $20.

Another possibility is Serafino Sharktooth http://serafinowines.com.au/wine/view/2012-serafino-sharktooth-shiraz/, but I think the Curtis is more likely.

If it is the Cavaliere, it is good value at $20.

Another possibility is Serafino Sharktooth Serafino | 2012 Serafino Sharktooth Shiraz - 96 points by James Halliday, but I think the Curtis is more likely.

Just interested why you say it is good value - Halliday gave it 87 points - I am not a fan of his but if it is low points I would take some notice

A cellar I use here in Sydney has a deal on the Mitolo Savitar Shiraz 2010 $42.31/bottle plus $10 shipping.

James Dominguez Cellars | Wine Offers

Might have to subscribe to their free but infrequent and not so bothersome emails first.

I've tried both 2010 (94pts) and 2012 (87pts) from mixed-pack offers and I preferred the 2012, didn't find the disjointed character Halliday mentions.
I liked the 2012 enough to order another 6-pack at the $120 price offered at the time (August 2014).

I just checked, it's actually sealed with a Diam cork, not natural cork, I prefer Diam to natural cork.

RB has replied for himself but would suggest the answer to this is essentially that he thinks for himself and doesn't put much weight in Halliday reviews. Plenty of people around who agree with this view.

I was just about to say the same! Now, the real question is: is there anything worth buying in this promo period ... ?

Will this work with the WISH gift card do we think?

Was just looking the DMs current offers and couldn't find anything exciting so far.

I surely hope so

As I am down by the head with reds I grabbed a couple of whites for Mrs prozac;
Gemtree Green Jade Organic Chardonnay 2014 12/$79, normally $275
Arbois Jura Chardonnay 2010 12/$119, normally $335 supposedly. Thought it worth a punt.

Almost certainly.

But don'f forget they weren't being accepted last weekend.

Halliday 87 points. Avoid.

This one is interesting, seems good value.
Drink to 2015 so DM must get rid of stock.

For the fizz lovers... Dan's has some ok deals on Moet/Veuve & Mumm... but add in the cash rewards offer and WISH and you're well under $40 a bottle for Moet/Mumm ($45 for Veuve) - I would suggest good value given current AUD v EUR
