Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Not buying myself, but thought someone may like the info.

thesippery.com.au has a few 'hidden sips' that are not to hard to work out. Could be decent?

Hidden sip no 003 = 2019 Robert Oatley Limited Release Barossa Shiraz for $20 a bottle, and should be cheaper with $20 referrals

PWS private cellar, mainly Bordeaux - my picks:

• 2020 Figeac $414.80

Langton’s 7pk $440 ($63/bt) after $100 voucher:

• 6x 2021 Clarendon Hills Sandown Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - reviews
• 1x 2017 Chateau Figeac - reviews, CellarTracker

CH 6pk effectively bonus freebie

Does this mean it is impossible to get onto the list since some years it has a higher chance of missing getting an allocation? eg last two years I missed so I guess I reset to zero.

yes - Giaconda’s early access list is similar to Sami-Odi’s top tier, which has just 45 members

Fair comments, which I accept.
However the current release method does work in Giaconda's favour.
The huge demand and massive hype is largely due to the frenzy on public release day.
If the prices were jacked up, the frenzy disappears and the profile of the winery would be lower.
(e.g look at Cloudburst Chardonnay with perfect scores and current vintage readily available at $440 a bottle.)
Different grape clone, but every bit as good as Giaconda, and most people have never heard of them.

perfect scores by whom?
might help to explain why they’re still readily available at that price

Jump on the Dan's pricing f'ups and get some better value PNs... ($ below b4 any further discounts)
Stonier Reserve $51.90
Mosswood $56.10
Domaine A $71.30
Martinborough Vineyard $54.90

fyi $59 @ vAmici

Are these delivery prices for certain postcodes? Can’t find them in store nearby in NSW.

yes, dependent upon Dan’s stores:

• with clearance price
• which dispatch/fulfil online orders having stock

Can anyone here please send me an invite for Vamici (www.vamici.com.au) ?

Thanks!
