Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Speaking of mega discounts, recently saw this on GWD and I think it must be the worst case of ridiculous RRP's I've come across so far.

FU Barossa Valley Pinot Noir 2024 | Elegant Single Vineyard Red | Get Wines Direct

FU Pinot Noir 2024 – Single vineyard Barossa Pinot with cherry, violet & spice. Elegant, cellar-worthy debut from FU Wines, crafted by a 99pt-rated producer.

www.getwinesdirect.com

$300 for a Barossa Pinot noir...At what point does it go from misleading to a straight out scam?

This used to be a very reputable brand for Barossa Shiraz about 15-20 years ago, with Chris Ringland as a chief winemaker and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate giving it 95 points or so. No idea who is in charge of this brand now.

Langtons price 2010 FU Shiraz $100-$120 a bottle https://www.langtons.com.au/p/r.-wines-fu-shiraz--barossa-valley-2010-bottle/auc-var-26263960.html

Just received an email from Nikau wines and they have a pre-release 3 pack on offer (2 PNs and 1 Chardonnay) Nikau Autumn Pre- Release 3 Pack — NIKAU FARM WINES

Very interesting.

Was lucky enough get a free 6 pack of 2021 Katnook Estate Shiraz from Cellarone when I ordered the ridiculously discounted Houghton Gladstones.

It is really good. What a great time we are in for buying wine. It’s a $40+ wine if you buy it retail.

It is indeed a nice Shiraz! I love Shiraz from cooler regions. I find them more delicate and elegant.
I got 5 free cases of that one
Last month they did it with the Cabernet which is even better. Add to that their excellent customers service and cellarone is getting most of my wines money atm (unlike cellardoor…)

Is Coonawarra considered a cooler region?

Have you had the Abednego GSM before? Was tempted by this, but couldn't quite commit without knowing if it was decent.

Haven't had it, but had Meshach, Shadrach (some was iffy) and Nebu, so thought would want to try Abednego to complete my journey into GB.

Please report back, I'm curious.

More mystery boxes on cellardoor. Same junk they couldn't get rid of from last week

From what was posted here - buyer beware

Oddbins have a premium & a budget auction ending 20:00 tomorrow ACT

Registration is required but is currently free

Terrible website btw.
View catalogue is an eye-bending, RSI inducing scroll-fest of multiple offerings of identical lots. Can use #Find.
Better is "register/ log in & select "Bid Now". That list can be filtered & searched.

Just checked it out, I just wasted 15 minutes looking. Saw no bargains, nor anything of note - who in the right mind would pay $22 for membership?

I enquired earlier today on the Wynns website asking for participating stores in my area. No reply yet. I will share if the Wynns Consumer Relations Team replies.

UPDATE: I guess they don't want to drive store traffic to their independents after all. Or more likely, they have no idea who they are....


"Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Wynns.

Unfortunately, we can't be more specific about the participating stores.

Agreed, $22 annual fee!? No way, Jose

I’ve been keeping my eye on the Cullen. The price wasn’t reduced further last Thursday unfortunately.

I just did a password reset and logged in...nothing special at the moment.

Also Seppelt Peters for $40 per bottle.

Really wanted to try that Haut Bailly but it wouldn't go through checkout.

I almost grabbed the Haut-Bailly II, but I'm not sure whether it is a half bottle, given the mentioned RRP? Still probably an ok buy (equivalent to $70 a bottle).

as might befit Tyson Stelzer, not only a different url for his Langton’s Private sale, but also high-end offering, mainly Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy - ends this Friday

I imagine most got the email but Cellar One St. Hallet Blackwell Shiraz buy 1 case get 50 % off the second which makes it about $26 a bottle when buying the 12.
