Ok, I am struggling to identify this Reisling: PRE-ARRIVAL: Riesling 2021 – Black Market Deal #39996

It is possible it is Auld Family - Wilberforce; the price is right but the description doesn't quite fit. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I've just peaked into the HTML and it is listed as Auld Family Wines so you are probably correct.

I suspect that it is 2021 rendition of BLUE QUARRY RIESLING EDEN VALLEY 2018 - Bethany Wines

PS - sorry just saw the previous reply - Auld sounds right

Thanks @tielec and @olympicwiz.

Bought a couple of cases of BM deal #38851. 2017 Pepper Tree Coonawarra Cab Sav at $13.50/btl for CS with some age on it is a bloody good deal.
The Reschke Limestone Coast Riesling was pretty good last time so ordered another at $9.90/btl. It is not showing online but is BM #40371

Edit: Was able to use code A2215 for $15, thank you affal for the reminder.

Hi all - first time on here. Enjoying some of the past reviews. It cost me a lot of money haha! One question if I may... why does the search on VM not work correctly - is it just me? e.g. I searched for Pirramimma and it came back with one item - the Stocks Hill GSM. But if I enter the item URL as someone posted here, e.g. the Geoff Johnston Milestone shiraz it comes up?

Not completely sure, but forum searches are often contextual to where you currently are on the site. If you go to the AFF Forum home page, select Search Forums and type in Pirramimma you get a whole lot of listings.

thanks for the reply, but I meant searching on Vinomofo - apologies for not being clear.

My mistake too, I missed the VM or thought it meant VM thread here. Vinomofo do have a fair number of hidden listings at various times: pre-arrivals, VIM offers, stuff that is exclusive to brokers at the time.

Tonight I am drinking a nice savoury wine out of a Salvation case. It's Massena Assen Verto shiraz 2017, under cork. Very nice. Sorry I cannot locate it using VM search function, probably a BM deal.

This one has my resolution to slow down on buying wavering: Pirramimma Geoff Johnston Milestone Shiraz 2019 Get thee behind me Satan

Opened new Geoff Johnson Pirramimma last night - cracking wine! Exemplary McLaren Vale shiraz. it is more than a quaffer (as I thought originally) - it is a very well made wine. Very concentrated with massive dark fruit upfront quite spicy in a pleasant way, touch of vanilla and I think it is more poised and refined than their WarHorse shiraz that I also got last year.

Ok that's saying something as I think their Warhorse is pretty good. Looking forward to its arrival!

Would love your feedback whenever you open a bottle.

Finally opened a bottle of Pirramimma Geoff Johnston Milestone Shiraz 2019
NB I am not a great describer of wine.
Lovely up front dark fruit flavours but grippy tannins and the acidity was noticeable on the finish.
Tried it alongside the 2017 Pirramimma Limited Edition Shiraz which I really love and the 2017 Limited Edition was noticeably smoother in the back palette but also less dark fruit flavours.
However not as complex as the Geoff Johnston.

My conclusion: The Geoff Johnston is a lovely wine with good structure and potential, but still needs some bottle time (as you would expect) to be at its best IMHO. Do yourself a favor and wait a while before opening

I think you did a great job there

So are you saying get another doz of the Shiraz while we wait for Geoff to wake up?

Yes I think it’s a cracking drop for $15 a bottle less any discounts.
I was trying to hide some away for while but can’t seem to leave it alone.

Aka Honey, people use it to search codes for websites to save.

I have alot of tabs open, however once I click through Shopback or Cashrewards I basically search for what I need, and process the order asap.

If I take 10 mins, I start all over again.
I always reset if I have to, and it's worked.

Via your phone and Shopback app, it'd be difficult to screw it up.
Don't use any codes that aren't listed either.

Problem solved. Having tried expunging cookies / trackers to no avail I changed the browser I use for this sort of exercise.
Bought a snake bite kit (w. Aeroform compression bandage imprinted with squares that indicate if too tight or loose) on Catch and it tracked as it should.

I'm always up for one of Pirramimma's big fat reds @GoingGrey and have a sixer of the Geoff Johnston sitting in my cart as we speak but not sure how you are gettting a $15 buy-in price pre-discounts?

Sorry for the confusion. I meant grab the Pirramimma Limited Edition Shiraz 2017

Pirramimma Heritage Limited Edition Shiraz 2017

We are big fans of Pirramimma here at the ‘fo - enjoying their bold and powerful reds from across the range. We sold a ludicrous amount of the 2016 vintage o...

which is drinking well now while you wait for the Geoff Johnston for a few years time to be at its best
