Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[olympicwiz]

ha oh dear, I signed up for GWD thinking I might grab the secret deal and I'm already getting missed calls from them. Shouldn't have signed up, I forgot their reputation for spam.

I gave them The Oak Road Estate number...

I put another telemarketers number - give them a taste of their own medicine!

Where?

Balaclava. Had only 1 bottle, potentially more in other BWS

I rang GWD and asked if it is the Yalumba Signature. The guy said you know your wine and yes that's what it is. So I've boomed

I think the guy would have said the same thing if you asked him if it is the Penfolds Grange.

My GWD case has arrived today. For all the doubters - the lid color matches up with the Signature.

The bottle shape looks very similar to that of the Signature comparing photos.

Under cork so wouldnt be the quaffer which is screw cap.

I am confused. I thought it was illegal to sell wine without a label declaring alcohol content, variety, vintage, name of producer, producers address, allergen warning and stuff like that

While I can't comment on the above, it certainly is illegal to make misleading representations about a product. If their call centre is saying its the Signature, one would hope they can trust this representation.

I think it is against the law not to have adequate labeling - but I have seen poorly labeled clean skins in the liquor shops even.

I see that Lerida Estate
Lake George Shiraz Viognier is at half price ($40) at BWS for those who enjoy cooler climate Canberra region Shiraz.

Any chances of cracking a bottle tonight?

Are you sure? I just got a box for a mate

They have one Mollydooker left at that store too. I thought about it but to be honest the last one I had (2009) was very underwhelming.

Hmmm...

Just ordered, mate of mine was interested.

I'm going to try find a label, print it and stick it on

 

[kevviek]

my mistake...ended up with St. Andrews for $26.77 per bottle...

Stickers that came with the case

 

[olympicwiz]

Hmmm...

Could it be that you have run out of time? They had 3 hour reservation window

Maybe get some Penfolds Grange labels to stick on while you at it?
