Umm, what?

Wine Selectors Cashback, Voucher Codes & Discount Codes | Cashrewards - didn't you just mention this??
I ordered 6 each of the 2012 Florita riesling ($28) and 2015 Punt Road pinot ($18) - have had both before and they're fantastic at that price.
2011 OP&OH ($33)
2014 Leston Cab Sav ($28)
2009 Eric Purbrick Cab Sav ($37)
were some other highlights.
There's a few Pol Rogers and Tattingers in there, but I'll leave that to people who understand Champagne...
Boomed on 6 of the Punt Road Naploleone Vineyard 2015 Pinot for ~$21 a bottle, hopefully it's as good as TWF & Vivino user comments suggest.
Are people seeing Wine Selectors purchases track on Cash Rewards? Mine didn't - wondering if it's due to the code not being on CR?
Hmm mine didn't track either, will send an appeal when the order ships and see what happensMine didn't but will appeal it and expect to get it. I may be wrong though.
Perhaps it's just him re-adjusting to the new order, after having a long break from AFF recentlyUmm, what?
It was exactly seven years ago today that we first flicked the switch on crackawines.com.au.
To celebrate our 7th birthday I've tasked the wine buying team with finding something close to my heart. As a proud, committed Pinotphile, my request was simple - a superb Pinot Noir for less than $20.
And with the 2014 Sharmans Tasmanian Pinot Noir, they've delivered something exceptional.
The Sharmans Vineyard is one of the oldest in Relbia, part of Tasmania's Tamar Valley. Setup by Mike & Philippa Sharman in 1986, Sharmans was the pioneer of the area, proving the naysayers (who thought Relbia too cold) wrong in the process. The wines themselves are made just up the road by Jeremy Dineen at Josef Chromy.
Here, we see the best of what this part of Tassie can do as well, with an unmatched opulence that is incredibly impressive for Tassie Pinot.
Hand-picked, wild fermented (with 25% whole bunches) and matured for 12 months in French oak, this is a wine of rare concentration and power - a Shiraz drinkers Pinot, but with a cool Tassie edge.
James Halliday certainly appreciated the intensity, praising the 'excellent hue and depth', noting how the 'voluminous cherry/plum bouquet is replicated on the voluptuous palate' which is 'full to the brim with Pinot fruit, persistent fine tannins and quality French oak'.
James gave it 95 points and finishes off calling it a 'thunderous answer to Central Otago's biggest and best'.
Personally, I just think this is a cracking Pinot Noir - one that is the perfect present for Cracka's 7th birthday. What's even more impressive is that you'll pay $35/bottle for a bottle at the Sharmans cellar door, but today it's all yours for just $19.99/bottle in six packs.
Get in on this incredible birthday bargain right here or give the team a call on 1300 272 252 right now to grab one of the limited cases.

I was going to grab some Pyrus, had it in my cart but was too slowDon't forget to stack with AMEX $20 off if you have it (or CR if you don't)
I think it'll be the Limestone Ridge for me. My first thought was the Yalumba Signature 2013 at $28, but there's been a few worrying reviews so I don't think I'll take the gamble.
I pulled the trigger on the Signature... I don't think you can go wrong cellaring Yalumba.Don't forget to stack with AMEX $20 off if you have it (or CR if you don't)

Has anyone tried the Kilikanoon Parable? Looks like good value with the $100 discount
