Have recently cracked a "The Wanderer" Upper Yarra Pinot from 2013 and it was just stunning. Those releases are always bang on for about 50 bucks and grouse value.

How do you get $20 per bottle off the garagiste wines? The codes don't stack.amd the referral is minimum spend of $150

After I posted this on realised that you could use the $20 off code 2020 with no minimum spend. Thanks.
 
Pardon my density, but does carboot 2020 code apply to the whole order or each bottle? And therefore multiple uses? Ta.

it's meant to be only once per customer, so you can sign-up via referral, use the $20 code for your 1st order, then the $50 one on your 2nd
 
I thought I would give it a go so ordered wine with the 2020 code. Now have been told that they cannot fulfill my order. Of course the 2020 code no longer works and free shipping offer has expired so I'll pass on carboot wines from now on instead of wasting my time.

I've been told that the carboot is a bad place to store wines anyway...

Maybe not a thread to ask questions, but at the moment am going through a period of very serious and prolific exploration of wines. I get where most fit, but what is the real niche of a pinot noir? - as I am not finding great enjoyment. I love my tempranillos, and grenache. Can someone advise a specific pinot noir that is a perfect yet average of the varietal?

Hi, @juddles ,

Re : Pinot Noir - I thoroughly enjoyed Cape Schanck 2018 Pinot Noir at QF HKG lounge a few months back.
I loved it - have become a fan of PN every since

link : T'Gallant Cape Schanck Pinot Noir 2018

Being a curry person that I'm, I enjoy this with a bowl of rice & coughin, paprika spiced potatoes curry. I believe it goes well with some sort of curry, nan bread, some saffron rice, panner tikka masala .... Or you could also try zucchini fritters as well. I've tried both of these combinations and loved them
