Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Mine is still at the 'packed' stage and I know my local store has stock.

Hope you confirm what it is when it arrives.

Of course, though the description is identical to Brown Label so I have no doubts.

Strangely my mums secret champers is still not out for delivery despite being ordered Monday...

Can't you pickup from your local store and save on the courier charge?

No. It's a delivery only offer.

 

[jasonking]

She rates it B* good - see 'Nice Wines' thread.

I will give this a miss. I was going to mix with Wolf Blass Brown Label for half a case, but The Damkeeper only comes in cases.
On top of that the Damkeeper only scored a Silver in NWIWS 2012.

Email overnight advising Secret Shiraz has been shipped - am happy to send you a bott good doctor?

Got the email the day after ordering saying 'shipped'. Then the phone call yesterday saying delayed. Online it still says 'shipped' NOT 'with driver'.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Can't you pickup from your local store and save on the courier charge?

Absolutely not. They won't allow this with their 'delivery only offers'.

I've phoned and asked why. They claim its because the stock comes from a central depot, not the store.

And it's not a courier, it's Australia Post.

 

[AnonymousCoward]

This is unlikely as they haven't made it for a number of years.

We served Brown label at our wedding many moons ago. Feedback from guests was that they enjoyed it

This seems to vary by region - I've never had any DM stuff delivered by Aus Post. However when you call up, they claim they can't tell you who the provider will be for any delivery. It's a real PITA for me, as I prefer to have Aus Post deliveries go to my local Post Office (no mail room in my building), and courier deliveries to my work.

They were very clear on the phone with me yesterday when they rang to tell me that my delivery was going to be late. They said they only ever use Australia Post.

Mine is usually NexDay

My champers clearly came from my local store, and it is delivered by NexDay couriers, not Aus Post.

Your wedding must be a decade ago. The last Brown Label is probably 2001 vintage.
Good to hear your thinking cap is still pristine. Must be the reds.

I caved and bought the secret champagne again.

 

[boomy]

Will open one for dinner and report back.

Looks good! Glad we decided to bite.

Yes if tastes is anything that resembles the packaging it will be a winner.

I actually had 3 family members with me when it was delivered so I gave each of them a bottle? Anybody else sharing with family members?

Most definitely NOT. Halliday has a drink by 2042 on it. Mine will be straight to the cellar!
