La dolce vita indeed! Love your posts, BF. Keep them coming...

Thanks enormously for this, Dr Ralph - likewise jumped on it (despite not having tried before). I was very impressed by The Blind Tiger, so am hoping that this is in the same league. My "dealer" has recently changed and I'm not getting the sort of info that you are privy to, so really appreciate...

Doesn't seem to be working (code, that is) 1713251495 I take that back...works now

The first cases of wine that I ever bought were from Winestar and I have always found them to provide good service (as in the case reported by RB) and offer reasonable prices, so I'm happy to give them a plug. Never tried to send anything back, however, which is (of course) the single advantage...

Thanks, Rug. Dealer quoted me $39 (way out of my price range), so you got a really good deal.

Forgive me if I upset protocol or stuff up the message submission process - relatively speaking, I am a fresher here. VM recently offered Massena Verto, exclusively through dealers I think. If you tried it, what was your verdict and what did you pay?

I agree - it's a great drop, especially at that price, but be aware that it's under cork. I have had a couple of disasters with the corks in 2014 and 2016 Sharktooth.

#45908 is what you say, but the RRP that I see on the VM site ($69) is wrong. Will probably be corrected soon...

Exactly - their marketing strategy has become really off putting. I think that the Dalwhinnie Shiraz had probably sold out before the declared 9:00 AM sale started.

I bought their 2018 Cabernets from VM a couple of years ago - was very happy wth it for $20. Not sure that The Compass is worth what JD is asking, but this complex style always appeals to me. If you do buy. it would be good to hear what you think of it...

If I could figure out how to PM you, I would.

Oops - I fear that you are probably correct. Hope I enjoy it anyway...

Sorry, Kristian, I don't remember how I became a member. What happens if you just go to their website (finewineco | Members Only) and try to order?

For any other fans of the Giant Steps guys, the FinewineCo Secret Carton Pinot Noir Shiraz 6 Pack that was recently offered appears to be the 2020 Giant Steps LDR.

For fans of Tassie sparkling, Dan's now has Stefano Lubiana NV at $27.75 as clearance.

Bless you, AdamHal...

I missed the Heirloom, but Dandelion Vineyards are also doing mystery mixed dozens again at $189 (shipped) for minimum $350 value: https://dandelionvineyards.com.au/collections/special-offers

Regrettably not - it was from Grape Belief, bought lost year and now, sadly, all gone.

I can't believe that what I opened last Friday night is the same wine as you guys are raving about. My bottle was musty and rather flat tasting - something wrong with it or my taste buds? I suspect not the latter as the bottle of Massena Eleventh Hour that we opened after that was wonderful -...

It may be just me, but I can't get the Townsville link to work (the others do). Great work though
