I had a 2018 recently. Not bad for $19 which is what I paid from Langton's auction.

I've see a lot of comments about wine quality (obviously subjective) for wine probably drunk too early. Your comment was exactly my first response reading a couple of the comments on this one. Some wines do benefit more than others from bottle age. Something like the Sorby Adams (and...

Just on the Max/389 deal, I got the same email and wasn't interested. I haven't had the Max's Chardy but the reds are just average wines at best to my taste so relative price isn't relevant for me. If you have liked the Max's then maybe the pricing is OK but tread carefully if you haven't...

Are you talking about the current release? I don't recall $10. Had I seen it I would have jumped at it.

I am as up with dissing Penfolds since TWE took over as anyone and their RRP pricing has been way over the top for a long time but, seriously, the Bin 389 is a very good wine. You may be able to find a better wine for $60 to drink tonight but the 389 has great staying power and will be very...

Yeh, if they say "up to 15%" they have no exposure. If it tracks but Dan's doesn't pay them they won't pay up anyway. Even if it does track and ends up being approved it takes a long time before you can withdraw the cash. You can't rely on the shopback rebate to make the deal worthwhile...

I have had a bit of Trofeo at cellar door & in their restaurant. Was last there a month ago so the wines would have been current vintage (don't have my notes here). The Pinot at around $20 in that link is worthwhile. It's easy drinking clean wine. There aren't many (any?) really good RRP $20...

I'd take as many Art Series Chardonnay as I could get for $60. It's a great wine. $20 is outrageous.

I used to buy a lot of Penfolds for the cellar up to 10 years ago. I've barely bought any for years now. TWE pricing in the last decade has been outrageous and their attitude that they could charge what they want because China will take what they send is biting them now and deservedly so...

The fact that a wine "critic" have it 95 and a retailer with a vested interest in selling it gave it 93 says a lot about Australian wine scoring by the the professionals.

Given the CB is on the net of GST amount you need to add 10% - the GST inclusive price should be $110

Yes it did - assuming that's what the wine I bought today was.

I've had a lot of trouble with Dan's tracking with Shopback - the last 3 or 4 from memory.

I've given up on Shopback. I don't trust them. It's business lacking in integrity. I've had too many purchases not track and then be denied when I lodge a claim. In spite of telling them not to send me the same do's and don't that I am aware of and have followed they always tell me why a...

I wouldn't trust the shopback credit to go through. The last few times I have lodged a claim they have told me the merchant (Dan Murphy's) has deemed the transaction ineligible. The transaction shows as clicked through on shopback and it s clearly eligible wine on the invoice. Shopback don't...

I opened a WB Grey Label tonight - very happy with it. Drinking well with a good 5 years cellar potential easily. Nice balance. Probably worth the RRP for a change let alone the actual cost. This is better than a quaffer IMO. Will put the other 5 + the Black Label away for a while. Will try...

The unreserved autions are OK provided you do your research o n the wine/vintage. Their reserve auctions would be fine but for the on costs.

Finally I can say "told you so" to my wife who has been at me for years about needing 1200+ bottles in the cellar! Given where the world is at I won't be buying any more while for a while. We are likely headed for a recession if not depression. I have clients who's businesses won't recover...
