I'm tempted by Boutari's Grande Reserve Xinomavro 2008 for less than $20 at DM's
The always popular 96 pointer Teusner The Bilmore is there at $120 for 6. Not bad if you have any of the 20% off codes still working for youThis is back up on WM but is now $120
Who Makes My Wine? – The Real Review
I think it's a bit out of date now, to hard to keep up with the rate of marketeers name inventions.
Of course there is the old story of the bottling line at Cellarmasters stopping to load a different label to be applied to the same batch of wine, no idea if it is true or not.
Throwing this one open to any Sydney folk - was just up at vintage Cellars Darlinghurst and picked up a gift pack of 1x750ml 2012 St Hallet Blackwell Shiraz for $21. One left. Petaluma Hanlin Hill Riesling Magnum down to $48, two or three left. Jim Barry Watervale Riesling Magnum $24.50, two or three left. Seemed like a decent deal (especially for the St Hallett).

It's nice enough, especially at the $10/bot mark. If anything, it's a bit on the light side for a cabernet. It's been up a few times on Vinomofo, and I think a few people have posted reviews in either the Vinomofo thread or the "Nice Wines" thread.
Never heard of this small outfit, but it certainly sends a buy signal particularly considering the age of the vines. Buy a couple on spec and top up. I recently had a Henschke Henrys Seven SGV 2010, two out of three common varietals, and it was good. I know the V component is totally different to the M in Veronique, but Henrys is a very refined wine. The famous Maverick GSM 2013 is a stunner and has a rougher, spicier element to it. It certainly works. You have to love the excitement of finding one for yourself from the multitudes out there.
