It's surprising what you find sometimes.
I did try and get 6 but only 4 available and I suspect that the vintage will be 19 not 18.

I picked up the find today and it is indeed the '18. Maybe I should have asked if they would price match the '19
I also found at another Dan's 1 bottle of the '18 Shiraz for $29.00

It's a seriously good wine too - i've got another 2 lying down in the cellar. probably needs another couple of years to enter its best drinking window, and then will last considerably more!

Also worth noting the bottle shape on these is a bit of a pain. Tall and skinny.. just squeezed into my Kennards box/storage. Worth noting if you are tight on space

Thanks for sharing this. I did an online click and collect for 2 bottles from brisbane airport. The manager called me shortly after to say they had just been purchased in store 10 mins earlier. He offered to swap them for the straight shiraz at the same price which I was more than happy with. I hope someone on this forum ended up with the 3 CS shared

Bellinger reserve cab sauv -
$20 down to $6 at Vintage Cellars - not sure if it’s any good and deal isn’t as good as some others we have seen from VC in the past however might be a good quaffer for someone in need. FWIW rating on Vivino is 4.1 - not that I place much reliability on that

Thanks Elle - seems like a good find. Also available at First Choice at the same price or $5.70 each in a sixer.

Again no idea on the quality of them. FWIW One has a good review, one not so good

My mate bought it and brought to a BYO dinner to try it out - wasn't to my liking - a bit watery, thin and lacking FWIW. Surprising actually as Langhorne Creek is known for bigger gutsier reds.

JD Secret Wine #462 down from $100 to $33.50 is Chain of Ponds The Cachet Shiraz Cabernet 2018 (HH94, SK96).

 

[olympicwiz]

That nauseating SK cut and paste spiel really puts me off (most likely unfair on the wine). “Wonderfully fruited and seductively complex, the wine shows dark fruit richness with cedar, dried herb, game and dark cocoa notes on the nose. It's concentrated and richly flavoursome on the palate, while remaining stylish and harmonious, leading to a lengthy sumptuous finish"

None in South Australia.

None in South Australia.

Did you try for delivery? There is none for collection in QLD either but delivery was fine

 

[AnzacPaul]

Cheers, went in for 6.

Also same price at Liquorland (who I think are interchangeable with First Choice as I saw a guy working at First Choice in LiquorLand gear the other day), and can stack with 2000 flybuys over $50 spend.

I’d been thinking about buying one of these for the past few months, so quite timely all these comments. I’m reading them with a lot of interest …

The CorkyTwister works quite brilliantly especially for old corks as the hypodermic exerts very little pressure when inserting it thus avoiding the cork being being pushed into the bottle, youngest son gave me one a few years back and I left it in an Airbnb, never got it back (Amazon have them for around $50))

Speaking of corks and how the reschke diam cork came out unstained, here's the nicely stained diam from some 2015 Curtis Cavaliere I necked the other day (which, despite our usual complaints about Curtis' rrp inflation was delicious and v. decent value for $20ish).

The point I was making (dim, dark past now) is simply that staining or lack thereof on a micro-agglomerated cork isn't a reliable indicator of age, one of the unstained corks I photographed was pulled from a 2013 red....

I used to have a cheap version of one of these. I think it eventually broke. Worked quite well on newer corks from memory.

The original, branded version, is made in Switzerland here's the link to Amazon for anyone interested: Corky Corkscrew - air Pressure Cooker.: Barware: Amazon.com.au (and no, it isn't a device for cooking fast meals)
