Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[Dr Ralph]

Can I please clarify something here? Dr Ralph was it yourself who introduced us foreigners to Kemenys a month or so back? If it was - a HUGE thanks - what a good post that was.

I've certainly discussed the Kemeny's Hidden Label products, although I'm not sure that I can claim I was the first to do so. I have recommended them and would continue to do so.

I couldn't find the Wolf Blass Black on Cracka...

I assume it was the Wolf Blass White Label as a hidden label at Cracka, prob just a typo

We definitely enjoyed the 'Obsidian'. Just need a free night now to crack open the Leconfield.

Cleaned out - Doc and I 'pounded that sucker!'

The Black label was offered, see my previous post about it.

I'm hanging out to drink the 2009 WB black I've got. Too soon?

Thought the current DM offering on Seppelt Chalambar shiraz 2008 @ $20 was pretty good. The current vintage sells for $17-18.

I was tempted to jump on it too...but really don't need even more shiraz in my cellar, hence passed. Otherwise, excellent by IMHO.

We've also got an overload of Shiraz at the moment, which is why I've been picking up a few Cab Savs to balance it out...

I'd wait, else decant prior to drinking.

Yes. That's what blackcat does. Decant into glass, then straight into mouth. Otherwise normally straight from the bottle

Well one venue did offer me a straw when I purchased a bottle

usually I decant for an hour, depends how impatient I am. Guess the 2009 should wait a little longer.

Check this out dudes - a friend of mine received from My Wine Companion - http://links.mkt3792.com/servlet/Ma...MTQ2OTA0MDY1NTM1S0&j=NTAxMzUwMTMyS0&mt=1&rt=0 - Kemenys hidden label offer from a week or 2 back remember?

 

[TDC]

Sacredtree seems to be the branding Gemtree is using for the China market.

Makes me wonder if this wine is overpriced.

A couple of barrels for Kemenys, a couple for sacred tree and some for "make your own label".

I guess it depends on your definition of overpriced? $19 elsewhere 2 weeks ago - but who knows - might be a really attractive label when you actually see it.

Anyone tried the 2006 St Henri from the recent My Dan's deal?

I'm considering drinking mine tomorrow (it's going to be 19° in Melbourne tomorrow!) ... How long should I decant it for?

 

[penegal]

I really should talk to Bkacky and Cruiser more.

Every time I look at these threads it is a deal that I "missed".

I got a few... Good top up to my existing stock... I might grab a steak and have some this weekend.

Speaking of which, is QF WP coming over?
