Which is better GSM or Cab Blend?

Welcome aboard rafael.fonseca, - I can not answer the question for others - for me it is hands down the Cab Blend

for me, both good but I preferred the Cab Blend

Yes. BWS seems to have random sales to clear lines that are not being stock anymore. What's available varies from store to store. Some stores never seem to have anything.

Our store never has anything....their idea of clearance is Bolly marked down from $100 to $70! :shock:

for me, both good but I preferred the Cab Blend

Both taste good served cool and I alternate between the two. They seem to keep 3 days in fridge, cab actually likes a bit of air.

I will add that I also really like the '13 GSM

Yup. Both good and cracking value. My slight preference would be to the Cab Blend, but the GSM is right up there.

Buy a case of each, rafael. You won't regret it.

Whoever beat me to it and snaffled those clearance bottles of 2010 Leconfield Cab Sav in Tahmoor BWS for $17/btl.... I forgive you. For in their place I picked up the following bunch for about $140 after all clearance prices and discounts
View attachment 81260

I'm still in shock! This is at Macarthur BWS (where there are a bunch of other wines also on clearance). From memory there are still Petaluma 2010 available, some Stefano Lubiana, more Chris Ringland Reservation and Seppelt Sparkling Shiraz, among a couple of other premium end ones. There may be more champagne if you're prepared to dig, but I nabbed what I could find once I realised the prices. Haven't got the original breakdowns on prices with me.

I was given the 2006 Moet as a birthday present and I can still taste the meagre glass I had as we(QueenBee) shared the bottle with another fantastic couple. It is without doubt the best sparkling wine/champagne I have had in my life. In fact, Ronnie and I still have fond memories of it when we start discussing the best of the best. I hope you enjoy it you lucky thing. It was worth every bit of its nominal retail price.

I bet you a bottle of 'something nice' from Wozza's collection that you WILL purchase something between now and the end of the Summer ...!!

I have followed through before, so happy to help you stick to your buying amnesty.

If you stick to it, I will make sure it's over $100 retail. If you fail, well, at least you get whatever the 'astonishingly good' wine is instead!

Challenge on. Be honest.

I lasted less than 24hrs. *Hangs head in shame

Having missed out on the CM Maverick Bonanza, the GSM is back up again at $9 a bottle incl discounts. I was gutted to miss it last time around, and....er.... couldnt resist...

I failed Wozza. You can keep your bottle of '82 Petrus Pomerol for now....

Or go on personal preference. I personally favoured the Cab but I know that all things being equal I'll always rate a Cab blend over a Grenache blend. And they do seem to be of about equal quality to me.

(Thanks vedder50 for the recommendation on the Cab, otherwise I wouldn't have dipped back into the Cellarmasters frenzy that fateful night. Glad I did!)

With you on this one Warlock.

Had 7 cases arrive in the last 2 weeks and put myself on buying ban.

Only to cave this morning and get both the Mav GSM & Cab blend.

No willpower at all...

Gutted (and pleased) for you, Warlock!!

It's a nice drop to cave in on. Although my personal favourite to look out for is the 2010 GSM. I personally think that's a cut above the later offerings. And, in my strict new world of only buying what I really like and can consume, that's what would make me jump (at anything below $20, because it's worth it).

Enjoy them when they do arrive.

Cheers,


Wozza

Quite simply, all of us do not drink enough. The supply-demand scale is heavily weight to the former, so start drinking more ! And as far as not drinking red in summer, that's the real issue.

Put a few in the Kelvinator for an hour before and see what happens. Was that on Wozzas list?

You should have dropped by the Prince Wine Store champagne tasting then - plenty of Moet 2006, plus other vintage champers (Dom 2006, Pol Roger BdB 2008, Lallier 2008 etc.)
