Thanks. I have been a member of Laithwaites for about three years and mainly buy their end of year packs. That group of 6 reds provides stunning value with attested pedigree. It included a Lloyd Shiraz, netting down to about $22 a bottle amongst others. Throw in a Cherubino, and the Arthurs reserve from Lake Breeze and you get seriously good wines. Their own batch stuff from Red Heads can be a little hit and miss but their customer service is fantastic. Similarly their introduction offers whereby they throw in 3 free on a dozen has worked well for me in the past. I was on the receiving end of a 3 dozen red wine credit, about eight hundred clams when one of my wines was delivered with 'random oxidization" . Twas the Blackstrapp. They happily credited me with the money , most of which I tipped back into those end of year six packs. Can't fault them.
I buy occasionally, even break my no corks policy on a few of the Spanish reds when on special, pretty fine wines some of them and cheap as.
Red Heads (Studio) from it's inception was making wine for Laithwaites UK, Justin Lane (Alpha Box and Dice) was one of the original group I think.
