It looks like the Cellarmasters '50OFFWINE' voucher has finished. Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks!

Our Moët arrived so NYE champagne should not run out. $40.50 net from Dans with the kickers.

I must say I'm looking forward to the day when little provincial backwaters like Tassie get Click & Collect finally offered to them :-|

I haven't tried this one but might pick up a bottle. I have learned (the hard way!) to completely ignore the DM ratings. Their GR10 Heathcote Shiraz (94 points) was, to me, a simple, jammy fruit bomb that I was glad to get rid of.

Haven't bought any DM cleanskin before. No clue as to it's origin.
Well I picked up Talisker Storm last Dec for $70 from DM. Maybe a separate for whisky.

Agreed. Those "DM Wine Panel" ratings are worthless and amount to nothing more than a cheap marketing tactic.

 

[ozshiraz]

Thanks gents, suspect the advice is quite right, interested in any reports though

The odd very good cleanskin red has been reviewed on DM's, last one I tried started round this money and ended at round $5 or $6, not good
at all. My review wouldn't have helped it !

That was just after DM opened in Sale, VIC.

edit..might have been the GR3, the review reads like mine at the time, use different
name on reviews now.

Or a classy 4-pack with a couple of made-for-DM quaffers (Dragon's Blood, Nessus). Not necessarily bad value if that's the sort of mix you're looking for.

On a somewhat related note, I've never figured out whether all the made-for-someone-or-other RRP-circa-$11 Gemtree wines are the same thing or not. Black Jade, Tiger's Eye, Dragon's Blood, SacredTree "Select Vines", etc. I'm hesitant to try any of them, given RedBigot's comments about the Black Jade, and only encouraged by the goodwill their Uncut shiraz has earned from me (but its RRP is almost double those). Anyone have any opinions/intel?
