Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Interesting marketing concept. Don't take new customers when you have a wine glut.

It's not a public consumer offering. It's a family and friends site with a consistent 20%ish off all their brands, not a clearance site. I don't think they are looking for customers via that particular channel, given they would likely push clearance stock as needed through other channels.

I'd say Magarey Lane Single Vineyard Glenroy Shiraz 2016

On Winestar usually you can find the wine at full price which makes it fairly easy to identify. I had a Mararey Lane CabSauv (reduced to $30ish) before and wasn't impressed. But $20pB may be a fair price. YMMV

Just logged in as I hadn't been on FWC for a while. Just noticed they have MMAD wines. Got to say that blewitt springs grenache for $49 is a good price. That's not really a wine I've ever been able to come by a discount on and I've been pretty tempted to get my hands on some at the retail given the reviews.

couldn't resist, especially with free shipping over $50 so two bottles delivered for $98 was enough for me, been meaning to try this one for ages! Has anyone here had any?

As mentioned, it's Magarey Lane. It lacks a bit of grip on the finish, but well worth buying at that price. They also have the cabernet for the same price, which I prefer - amazing value for a 2016 of that quality. Vinomofo have it for $35, BTW.

I suspect it probably is a public clearance site to some extent, that makes a few hundred punters feel they are secret insiders (I’ve never ever logged onto it though).
I’m it’s assuming it’s like Cellar One, for “friends and family”.
I can tell you that the ACTUAL Accolade employees are able to buy wines on the Cellar One website way cheaper than the discounts we see.
I assume Joval Wines/ vAmici is the same.

Still, If they have what you want, it's better than paying retail!

Funnily enough they don't want previous finewineco customers either! Despite their login page saying "Are you an existing friend of finewineco? Simply reset your password to access your new vAmici account." if you contact them with an issue related to that they'll instruct you (a week later) to find a friend at Joval wines to refer you! I put it down to poor customer service.

Would there be any Joval friends and family member be able to send me an invitation via pm?

There isn’t an option to invite others, it would need someone to request you to be invited by Joval. Need a closer connection than an existing member like me (added via friend of CEO) to invite you.

DANS50 for $50 off $300 is back.

Just used that discount; 2 bottles of Dalwhinnie Single Malt $103each (saving $50 a bottle), plus six bottles of Pepperjack Shiraz total of $315 minus the $50 coupon save brought it down to $269, not too bad.

For those who missed it, Petaluma Evans Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2018 is back at Cellarone at $30pb
Same price as the unlabelled.

Opened one of these tonight. Finding it a bit tannic even 3 hours in. Too young?
