Ps. Down again

This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve had lots of issues with Langtons lately. Missing orders, late deliveries, no responses to multiple messages. Not sure what has happened, or if I am the only one

I have found dealing with customer service on the phone the only answer. I wonder if its because they are part of Woolworths?

Could be. Talking to someone was the only success I had as well

Spring Sale | Langton's Fine Wines

The sale last Thursday that @qaz mentioned was much more lucrative.

 

[weirluo]

Dan's Secret Selection McLaren Vale Cabernet Shiraz 2013 @ $37
appears to be Rose Kentish Old Vine Cabernet Shiraz 2013 @ $89.99

Any one can recommend this wine? I've heard a little about Rose K from the ULITHORNE WINES and am tempted to get a case for her brand...

Usually its i wine that winedirect are already selling.

My guess is Martins Vineyard Limited McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

Ferngrove 'The Stirlings' Cab-Shiraz 2014 available as a secret deal at Cracka / My Wine Guy.

I haven't had one in years, but I remember it being a respectable drop; 2014 was a decent year in Frankland River.

*edit

JD Cellars Secret Wine #129 looks like Willoughby Park Kalgan Estate Cabernet 2015
(I linked the 2014 because I can't find the 2015)

I quite like Winedirect and use them a fair bit but have to say that the RRPs for Martins and Curtis Cavliere are way beyond what any intelligent person would pay so tend to avoid any packs with these in them. They are not bad wines but about 20% -30% of the RRP doesn't seem like a discount, it seems like fair value.

Totally agree. I think the Cavilier is worth about $8-10 a bottle...

I've had some very quick orders from Smashvino and some very slow ones. My latest order I have been waiting for for over 3 weeks.

I'm happy to report that mine arrived within the week
