The cheaper tyrrells sems (belford, hvd) can be very good and can often be picked up for under $30 a bottle.

While grabbing some Redman from Dans, I also grabbed a bottle of Majella Cabernet 2020 (which is currently $28.50 after gift cards). I highly recommend it - it has a lovely aroma, is medium bodied with lots of juicy berries, great length. Tbh I opened it way too early - it will last many years...

My nearest Dans has Redman Cabernet 2021 for $20.24 in a 6 (after gift cards). But it only seems like select stores have this price (and it is not advertised as a special). https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_10987/redman-cabernet-sauvignon Similarly, another nearby Dans has Coldstream...

I almost grabbed the Haut-Bailly II, but I'm not sure whether it is a half bottle, given the mentioned RRP? Still probably an ok buy (equivalent to $70 a bottle). Here is the listing for the half bottle...

Lol - already gone!

I came across this deal at mycellars.com.au today. I've never tried the Coriole Willunga, but I've liked several other Coriole wines. The 2020 got 95+ points from Gary Walsh and 95 points from Ned Goodwin. https://www.mycellars.com.au/shop/coriole-willunga-1920-shiraz-2020/

The wynns and saltram would also make ok gifts for wine nerds! :) Especially the 1859 - I've had past vintages (but not the 2022) and it has been a fantastic value wine, and friends have also really enjoyed it.

For those in Canberra (and those who can get the website working) a couple of stores have Freycinet Pinot Noir for around $40 after cashback (Dickson and City). A friend of mine today also had the same problem with the BWS website. The website just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm not sure...

Could be a good investment buy. The 2002 is apparently selling for $8k a bottle! 😆 https://www.vivino.com/AU/en/journeys-end-vineyards-arrival-shiraz/w/1108608?ref=nav-search

Couple of deals I came across at Dans. Prices are after the 5% gift card discount. As usual, stock/prices are store dependent. Woodlands Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 - $103.55...

Sense of Taste has a pack of 3 x Nebu and 1 x Shadrach for $200 ($50 a bottle). Not the lowest I've seen these, but not a bad price. https://senseoftaste.com.au/products/grant-burge-nebu-bundle-bonus-shadrach?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign Although I note shipping is a little exxy...

I'm thinking that maybe it is Reschke RSR: Reschke R.S.R Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Yup, DLR used to have some sort of process of putting together prices in a particular city (which was fantastic :) ). But I generally just flick through the local store specials online.

If you are in Canberra, there are a few ok deals (all prices after cashback): Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay - $59.50 (Belconnen) Parker Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon - $14 (Franklin) Stonier Chardonnay - $14.70 (Belconnen) Clonakilla Riesling - $19.11 (Kippax) Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz -...

Buy 2 bottles and this brings the Koomilya 2015 down to $50.45 and the Parker First Growth 2019 down to $59.85 (if you also use discounted gift cards). Koomilya -...

This was my experience too. I have some 2017 Blackwell under cork, and it is fantastic. I also tried the 2018 - a good wine, but not as good as the 2017.

SC Pannell Koomilya Shiraz 2015 for $59 at Dans ($56.05 with discounted gift cards) https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_554116/s-c-pannell-koomilya-shiraz?isFromSearch=false&isPersonalised=false&pageName=

Yeah I opened one tonight too. I found it has a certain sweetness to it which I'm not sure I like. Easy to drink I guess, but not an age worthy wine. My brother loved it - I found it ok (and I guess for $15 or whatever it is fine).

A few ok deals at The Wine Collective. Prices are after the 12.5% cashback at Topcashback - you could try the '21.3% method' that others talk about, but I've never tried it. Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2017 - $64.52 Heirloom Alcala Grenache 2022 - $35.37 Tapanappa Foggy Hill Pinot Noir...

I had another bottle of the Wente Zinfandel while watching the cricket tonight. A few of us got it for $5 a bottle a few months ago. I didn't like the first bottle I had, but this second bottle seemed much better. Maybe the first was heat/light affected? Dunno, but for $5 I now actually think it...
