It's been a bit quiet on this
Dan's & Others thread. And I see
VinoMofo are getting some good praise for their mystery mixed packs on the
mof_ thread. So it's only fair I sing the praises of the two mystery dozen packs I picked up from

My Internet search skills are pretty average. But even a cursory check of the InterWeb revealed many of these wines were great buys at an average of $50 and $25 a bottle, delivered, respectively. I didn't bother to check the cellar door prices, but was looking for the online discount price that first came to hand.
And for those that might be keen to buy. The $599 all reds pack has sold out. But the $299 value pack is still available here:

So far, I have tried:
a. the
Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2012 (lovely beefy wine with great potential)

b. the
Grant Burge Meshach 2002 (stunning wine with peaty, burnt earth tones)
