And I’ve had plenty of cough wines that JH rated highly! Maybe time to follow a different reviewer ( and no, I don’t mean Sam Kim)!

If a wine gets 3.8 or more on Vivino, I assume it will be good enough before doing some more research. 3.4 doesn't impress as a tyre kicker originally. I have had their Catkin and it was lovely.

Got offered 50 Year Old Vines for the shiraz and "Down To Earth" for the cab sav.

50 year old vines is a good replacement although I haven’t had much joy with Tanunda wines.

Down to Earth CabSav seems like a downgrade.

Beggars can’t be choosers unless you could sweet talk them into getting Pertaringa CS instead?

I recall Down to Earth being part of their regular 12 for $200 bundle. I've got a few and whilst not a bad drop, I wouldn't benchmark it against the Pertaringa. Down to Earth for $5 still a good outcome in my opinion.

$5 would be very good for the down to earth/terre a terre c/s. It's a very nice well-made wine, dare I say it a little more elegant than the Pertaringa. I've paid nearly five times that price for it (against a cellar door price of $55) and been very happy with it.

Grateful if someone could tell me how these $5 wines work? Was it sorting the range by price and getting lucky?

Thanks for the insight on the Down To Earth. Feel a bit ripped off going from Protector at $45 (hard to find discounted) to something they've been trying to offload for over a year for $17ish (and you can get the one up from it for $28 not discounted from David Jones), but heard good things so whatever, won't fight it. Seems they're offloading excess stock to handle this oversell. Hope the shiraz is OK.

@DLR spotted it (I believe the way you mentioned) and posted it here. Stock so-called availability varied by state so it didn't show up for everyone. Some people scan sites daily and there can be patterns on what price points identify clearance items. :)

Somewhat better than what they offered me - Curtis Heritage Shiraz (cheapie one) and Down to Earth cab sav. Ask for replacement options for the Curtis, but was told that all other replacement options had been exhausted :-(
