Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[Glider_]

I don't know the wine so I'm not sure how much of a 'deal' this is, but just thought I'd better bring this to beefarmer's attention just in case

https://www.kemenys.com/go.jsp#!class=Product&spn=1107469

Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Quartage 2012 $19.95 @ Kemenys

Do Kemeny's have a referral bonus for new customers?
And I see that it will let me put 6 bottles in my shopping cart even though the carton is 12. Will a half-carton order go through?

Just get yourself another half dozen Devils Ridge Block 5 mt barker riesling for about 10 bucks each if you need to make up the case.

They do not.

 

[Steady]

How's the Allegiance Shiraz?

The one Cracka just called me about @ $19.95 down from $60?

That's the one. Isn't it a bit young?

They do not.

Thanks folks,
I really like the sound of it (who can resist something when beefarmer waxes lyrical about it) so I took the plunge. For reference, you can buy just six, they give you the same bottle price as a dozen and charge you the freight ($10) for a dozen. Happy with that.

Glider, thanks for your kind words. You must definitely ping me privately after you have had your first bottle to get your thoughts.

 

[Sedimental]

Do you enter in your Cellartracker what you paid overall or the retail price? I enter cost after discounts.

I see you were not the one who said "avoid better to be had" however I was trying to keep the deal secret as when things get out like this and it's not meant to be the price everyone can miss out. I have protected mistake pricing on redemption flights I have shared with others on AFF like this.

I know wine is a personal thing so when I did my DD on the wine, actually drinking it, I posted what is a good deal.

This thread is Dan Murphy's and other wine deals after all, so this deal that was shot down by Sedimental, without tasting, doesn't benefit anyone. This wine in my opinion now punches above the 2 year old reviews that were not that bad anyway. James did say "[FONT=&amp]otherwise delicious cabernet". Other than that there is not many reviews out there. [/FONT][FONT=&amp]

[/FONT]The wine is selling for $28.40 in six bottle buys online or $46.99 for a single bottle. Other sites have it for $49.09 TEUSNER Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 - wine online by cellar d'or (cellardor.com.au) or $51.90 2011 Teusner Wines 'Eden Valley' Cabernet Sauvignon

With Dan Murphy's I know many on AFF can purchase with a cash rewards scheme and also discounted wish gift card, bringing it down to $24.15 a bottle and DM100 gives free delivery as well.

I too don't buy a lot of Cabernet in the $0-$60 range however as I enter the price I acquired for after all discounts it brings up some interesting bottles including Black Label Wolf Blass acquired as bonus bottles through Epiqure, must have drank 2 of each of the 05 and 06 so good to see I have a couple of each left. Anyone got any of that blended port you got as an Epiqure joining bonus years back? still got one left! Above $60 in Cabernet including blends I have names like Bin 707 and 169, Xanadu Stevens, Jack Mann, John Riddoch, Woodlands, Yarra Yering, Hillcrest etc.

All I did was post what was a cracker wine at a cracker price and I tell you there has been some rough ones posted by those who like to criticise.

I just notices the Seppelt Moyston has 82 points on CT, crazy!

I appreciate formites contributions, and respect individual's opinions. Please don't mistake my post as a personal assault. I have actually tasted the 2011 Teusner Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon fore-mentioned. It's on okay wine, but didn't float my boat. I like big wines and also appreciate winemaker finesse. It has big fruit but I just couldn't get past the acidity. This is not what I look for in a cool climate cabernet. I love most of Kym's wines and have quite a few in my cellar. Even at the discounted price I'm not interested in this particular offering. I believe there are many wines that represent better drinking and have better cellaring potential at this price point. Bowen Estate and Xanadu come to mind, even at RRP. That said, I've had notable wines from "lesser vintages" that have far exceeded tasting expectation. I felt I would be "going out on a limb" cellaring the Teusner when other wines of providence are available, and was trying to convey this message to others.

 

[beefarmer]

I think you meant to type four mates Sedi. :idea:

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Do you enter in your Cellartracker what you paid overall or the retail price? I enter cost after discounts.

Those are prices on the invoices - I can't be bothered adjusting everything for WISH discounts, and cashback etc. So the actual price paid is less in some cases.

I see you were not the one who said "avoid better to be had" however I was trying to keep the deal secret as when things get out like this and it's not meant to be the price everyone can miss out. I have protected mistake pricing on redemption flights I have shared with others on AFF like this.

Mistakenly filed fares etc are usually kept hidden because airlines jump on them (either by monitoring these forums, or via their sales tracking systems). We don't seem to have that problem with mis-priced groceries at Woolworths or wine at Dan Murphys etc. There's no real point in "keeping it secret", even if it actually is a mistaken price.

This thread is Dan Murphy's and other wine deals after all, so this deal that was shot down by Sedimental, without tasting, doesn't benefit anyone. This wine in my opinion now punches above the 2 year old reviews that were not that bad anyway. James did say "otherwise delicious cabernet". Other than that there is not many reviews out there.

The wine is selling for $28.40 in six bottle buys online or $46.99 for a single bottle.

It seems Sedimental has actually drunk this wine

As I mentioned in my post, you can actually get it priced at ~$27/bot in six bottle buys via their mobile site, so I'm not sure it's even a mistake. But, maybe it is.

In any case, my point was: there are heaps of good deals out there. The list I posted was just what I've bought in the last 12 months alone. And just the cabernets buys @ ~$30 or less. If I included all the other varieties, at other prices points, there would be 10x as many deals out there. So, unless someone really likes the same wine as you do, I would also hesitate to buy a South Australian 2011 at $27/bot, with poor reviews, when there are sooooooo many other safer options out there. Why gamble on something with an 89 from WF, when you can get something with 95 from WF at the same price, from a better vintage, where the wine has the backup of many reviews on CellarTracker or Vivino?

I appreciate that you've enjoyed this wine, and thanks for sharing the deal. If others (like Sedimental) who've got an opinion on whether it's a good deal or not, want to jump in, then they're allowed to - they're not attacking you - they're just giving an opinion on the wine. Which I think is in keeping with the spirit of this forum.

 

[blackcat20]

I enter mine with the price paid, such as the $7 Wolf Blass grey we snagged

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Mr_Orange recently posted about Perrier-Jouet available @$50 bott les 10% at Bootleg Liquor - I see now that you can get 16% rebate on Bootleg purchases through CR - that brings the PJ back to $42/bott - seriously good price.

 

[boomy]

My OT wines arrived today very well wrapped.



At first the package didn't arrive as scheduled by AuPost. When I noticed it's going to be sent back to sender I've contacted OT directly to let them know. The lady who answered was very apologetic and said someone didn't write the address correctly so she will personally go to the post office and re-send, this time by ExpressPost, which she did and I got it the next day. Considering the discounted price payed for the wines and the free delivery included it was good customer service by OT to send it express, well done!

That's good. I also have a 20% referral code. At least, I think it is just a code and I'm not sure there is a referral bonus as such so I'm not sure why they call it a referral.

Even better than that, CE - i'm getting $39.3 a bottle for the P-J, since there is a 10% voucher ('CASHREWARDS') that can be used in conjunction with the 16% cashback! Hmm, had already nabbed an assorted half dozen assorted bottles of champagne for my upcoming nuptials, but this is tempting...

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Bootleg are also offering 'But 1 get 2nd 1/2 Price' offer to first time buyers - but alas will not permit P-J - I think it only permits mixed 6s.

Just in from Cracka - any clues as to identity good AFF folk?

Sadly the concept of ‘Reserve’ wines has become somewhat diluted; with some wineries churning them out year after year despite the quality of the vintage and the fruit. Today’s winery, however, plays no part in this unfortunate trend. A household name since the early ‘80s, they have kept their integrity and level of quality sky high, producing outstanding Reserve wines from their showpiecevineyard in the Margaret River – only in the very best years.The 2012 Mystery 96 Point Reserve Margaret River Cabernet is one of the most premium examples of this in their illustrious history. From the exceptional 2012 vintage (rated 10/10 and hailed by many winemakers as the best they had seen in over a decade), the very top percentage of fruit was carefully hand selected and matured in top shelf French oak. Cellared for over 2 years before its release, this represents some of the very last premium Margaret River Cabernet on the market (with top dogs from the likes of Cullen and Xanadu long sold out)…

2012 Mystery 96 Point Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon

RRP $70-$80 (cannot be specific due to brand protection) Your price $36.99/bottle in a 6 packs

96 Points James Halliday: 'Strictly limited…Beautifully detailed cassis and plum fruit.’
95 Points Ray Jordan: ‘Stylish and beautifully elegant…Good fruit concentration and intensity…silky tannins…super-fine oak…deep fruit characters.’
94+ Points Gary Walsh: ‘Dark chocolate and boysenberry… Excellent length and intensity.’

From a Western Australian icon who has been awarded some of the top accolades in the industry.
The fruit was hand-picked and hand-sorted to ensure only the highest quality. Open fermented and gently basket-pressed, following malolactic fermentation the wine was maturated for 15 months in new and seasoned French oak. Very limited production, the parcels were handled separately from vine to bottle – accentuating the expression of the site and sub region. Intense rich scarlet in the glass, with intoxicating aromas of cassis, dark berries, mocha, cedar cigar box and dried herbs. Luscious fruit characters of plum and black fruits fill the palate, with hints of black olive and spice. Fine velvety tannins give beautiful structure, driving the intense flavours to a long finish. Drink now or cellar for 10 to 12 years.

Hardly available anywhere else on the market, the cheapest I can see it anywhere online is $68. To snap up this sensational wine for over half price at just $36.99/bottle . I only have 40 six packs so it won’t last long!

Edit: Cracka called me - Brookland Valley Reserve Cab Sav

 

[georgehall]

Bootleg are also offering 'But 1 get 2nd 1/2 Price' offer to first time buyers - but alas will not permit P-J - I think it only permits mixed 6s.

Do Bootleg ever have anything decent? Every time I go on there it's $6 per bottle mixed cases.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Do Bootleg ever have anything decent? Every time I go on there it's $6 per bottle mixed cases.

TBH I do not know - I bought a doz P-J at $45 bott - only purchase I have made - tempted to grab another doz at cwh's price as it is a steal at that price.

 

[sigmadelta]

I see you've found it. Cracka... I dunno I wouldn't pay that much for a brookland cab. The industry gives them awards because brookland are a major part of the industry. They make ok wines, but 37 bucks for their reserve, I dunno. I'd sooner pay 30 for a bream creek pinot but that's just me.
