Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[hwy]

Glaetzer wines have an offer for members (sign up via their website) for 11 x 2022 Bishop and 1 x 2022 Amon Ra for $378 delivered.

That's an amazing deal for some big-cough wines. If I were 20 years younger and still smashing a steak every night for dinner I would be all over this deal.

I use Riedel Ouvertour Red Wine Glasses as it seems this is used in many restaurants so if it is good enough for them..... Seem sturdy and does not break easily. I handwash and never put in the dishwasher.

not related to deals, but just curious as to what glassware everybody uses? do you have universal glasses or do you have specific glassware for your different varietals?

I mainly use Riedel. can't remember the exact code name, but they are the Pinot Noir shape. Great for Grenache, Chardonnay and all the medium-bodied reds I enjoy. I also love the Krosno Harmony for red and Krosno flutes for bubbles.
Thanks to this group, I only drink wines that deserve a decent glass

BETTER THAN THE "BEST IN THE WORLD" DEAL

Vinomofo’s email today claims this Pinot is “possibly the best value Pinot Noir you will find anywhere... in the world” at $17 a bottle.

I found it cheaper.

Get it for just $13.40 a bottle ($160.65 a dozen) using code HILLTOP at checkout.

Tomich Hill 'Hilltop' Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2025

• The Pedigree: 95 Points (Wine Showcase Magazine for the '23 vintage)
• The Profile: Bright ruby red. Super-ripe strawberry, kirsch, and vanilla aromas. Opulent red berry core, glossy mouthfeel, fresh acidity, and fine oak.

Don't pay mof_ prices. Lock it in here: Skye Cellars(Remember to apply code HILLTOP)

tossing between Grant Burge The Holy Trinity GSM 2022 vs Petaluma Evans Vineyard Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2021, via cellar one. anyone can recommend?

I bought some holy trinity a couple of years back. Despite ok ratings I found it a bit cloying sweet and unbalanced... haven't gone back

Not a big fan of Holly Trinity either. Even Abdenego was a disappointment.
Almost bought the Petaluma 3 days ago but decided on the Houghton C.W. Cab Malbec instead. Note that the Petaluma was $30 then so I will personally wait for it to be discounted again before to get some.

Looks like it!
It is fair enough to give prompts to AI to make your post clearer and most readable and helpful. I often do that in my not wines related business.
As for the deal, Tomich Hill and Skye are both in my black list for businesses with poor ethics so not for me, thanks.

Of course I do. I feed it the information, and it formats the post perfectly for me. It turns a 15-minute task into a 5-minute one. Why spend more time than necessary posting on a board?

Gorgeous, Grand Cru Chenin Blanc: Thibaud Boudignon's Clos de la Hutte

The first time we encountered Thibaud Boudignon’s Savennières ‘Clos de la Hutte’ it clobbered us. We didn’t know anything about Boudignon or his wines, so we expected something typical of the appellation: a wine of opulent, confit fruit flavors, dry but unctuous, maybe even honeyed. Instead, the...
