I got totally different:
Cloudbreak Pinot Gris 2021 - not even from Tomich winery, appears it's a side project (1 bottle)
Red Label Shiraz 2015 - Chinese labelled, dusty as hell (4 bottles)
Rhyme & Reason Pinot Grigio 2016 (2 bottles)
Woodside Vineyard Rose 2023 (1 bottle)
Woodside Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (2 bottles)
Sparkling M (2 bottles)
What irks me is many bottles are rejects - damaged labels, misplaced labels, etc. For $120/doz my expectations were in check, but it's mostly cheap & questionable plonk... thought at least 1 truly premium bottle would be in there. I'm left with thinking Tomich treats its customers as mugs... it'd be better to offer this to customers who have made orders previously, and make it clear you might get exports or damaged labels, etc etc. Marketing 101 - don't make someone's first purchase with you a bad one.
Got mine. 5 whites and the same Red Label Shiraz everyone seems to have got. I was not expecting too much at $9 a bottle, - but agree the labels are mostly damaged, dents in the bottle cap etc. Not a great impression, and definitely won't bring me back to the brand.
