Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[Cruiser Elite]

Heads up, it isn't Shadrach. Website confirmed it is the Corryton Estate. Chinese export label

Oh shoot - I have had this rubbish before - lovely box - cough wine - I guess we drink 1 bottle and send it back again.

The reynella on CM is the limited release, is there much difference to the basket press?
cheers

 

[ste667]

Eek, sorry all. Should have done a bit more due diligence on that one

Is that the one you gave us to taste at last OT dinner?
Remember it wasn't impressive. Will cancel my order.

NO NO NO - that cough we had at Olive Tree that night was the replacement that Cracka sent me for the Corryton Estate that I had already sent back - it went back also.

I am actually going to receive this and test another bottle - who is up for a wine tasting at Olive Tree mid next week? You in town boomy? penegal? Tommy are youse dudes back home then? (I really want the wooden box it comes in )

Someone (I can only assume WineCompanion) has sent me a second copy of the Halliday Wine Annual (after I purchased one from Booktopia on the free magazine/website sub deal).

Not quite sure what to do with it, would cost almost it's value to post I'm guessing??

I just received a second copy as well, but this time to my billing address and in different packaging.

In letter I received is $25 CM Voucher - so advertised price $209.88 + $1.20 handling = $211.08 for case 12.

CR are offering 12% rebate for Cellarmasters - but I cannot work out how to access the cheaper mail promo rate of $209.88 rather than the standard rate on CM site which is $299.88 case 12.

It's not a direct purchase but sign up for "The Red Wine Of the Year" reservation.

Yep, got all that blurb from the person I spoke to when I called - seems a terribly Irish way to do business bit it is what it is I guess.

To anyone that missed $68 DM Meshach deal, I think you can get it for $72 here:

$64.50 with CRACKAPAYPAL factored in. I'm scared to call it as Meshach tho now!

I called it Meshach because:

South Australian Shiraz
Iconic winery (I swear they have referred to Grant Burge with this moniker before)
Approximately right (fantasy) RRP
2010 Meshach got 96 from Halliday
2010 Meshach got 96 from Robert Parker (they reference another 96 from a 'World Famous Critic')

$64.50 is a good price for Meshach IMO

*Note - screwcap in picture makes me doubtful though.

I think that's a generic mystery bottle
