Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[Sedimental]

That's good to know. I've got couple a couple of 96s left which I was going to look at next year being 20 years on. Might have to find an auspicious occasion and crack one sooner!

The ten buck Metala (recent VC promo) is a great mid week quaffer and I suspect it will improve with age too.View attachment 51435

I had a couple of glasses last night Had the 2008 or 2009 or 2010 Cellar Release from Dan's the weekend before last - $18.99. Wasn't that great after drinking a Shingleback Shiraz and St Hubert Shiraz.

How many bottles did you buy? And did you get a bottle or two of Ingoldby Shiraz for $10?

 

[Sedimental]

Bought 2 doz. Aim on cellaring half. Didn't do the Ingoldby.

I think I still have a couple of the Shingleback left. They were a 10 purchase late last year. Might try a Krondorf Growers Shiraz tonight (Scalzi & Schwarz) bought recently for around $4. Cellarmasters list them at much more than this, but I will reserve judgement.

+1 that Metala is quite a decent quaffer. Only problem is, it's more expensive than some of the quaffers from Vinomofo.

The Metala white label isn't really a cellaring wine is it? I thought it was a 'made to drink' wine.

I bought a case last September. I put it down...briefly. Last I looked it was gone.
Have started tonight on the Krondorf Growers Shiraz. It is surprisingly quite good.

i won't leave these latest 6 linger in the cellar as I am 65 and my sons don't drink red wine.

Funnily enough, I know someone exactly the same age who loves red wine :mrgreen:.

I had a 2010 a few weeks back and was unimpressed. IMHO time made no difference. It was still a $10 wine.

The Metala's been a favourite quaffer of mine for years - always been bloody good value!

Agreed. My Dad used to drink these in the 70s. Stoneyfell Vineyard? Some of the survivors have been surprisingly good so thought I might do a 'time capsule' with them and see how they travel. The stelvins should travel well. Kind of like the local Rotary Clubs did when I was a kid. Bury today's goods in a hole to be excavated for examination in the future! At ten bucks a throw I reckon it's worth the price of admission!

Received an email from WC about Howard Park new releases at Liquor Barons also mentioned a code for $20 off your first order (halliday20) doesn't have to be of HP wine. LB also do Click & Collect which I didn't know about.

 

[mini2]

Picked up another bottle of Metala, quite like that thing hmmm.

Asked the blokes about the event on the 30th, got told don't expect another huge sale like the one back in May. Makes me a sad panda.

Now, will I be kicking myself if I don't order? (Never drunk a Bin 407 before)

Bin 407 is nice, but like most Penfolds wines it is clinical, dependable and needs age.

HoG has been stelvin for years now.

Actually not correct. HoG uses a Vinolok closure.

Just got an offer from the "Penfolds Vintec" team - spend $100 and get a free $70- Wolf Blass

Receive a free Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz Magnum valued at $70 when you spend $100 on Penfolds (excluding Koonunga Hill, Thomas Hyland and Rawsons Retreat), Wolf Blass (excluding Eaglehawk & Red Label), Wynns, Devils Lair (excluding Fifth Leg), Seppelt, Pepperjack and Coldstream Hills wines in one transaction during the promotion period for off premise consumption from any licensed liquor retailer in Australia, includes online purchases

Offer closed! WTF!!

Purchased my wine last weekend and went to make the claim today (after earlier trying to make a claim unsuccessfully because their website wasn't working properly) only to find that the offer has closed early. Was supposed to be open until July 6.

Welcome back! How long have they been using the Vinolock?

Thanks for the correction. Seems according to Google they went from stelvin to vinolock for the 2008 vintage onwards. Either way it hasn't been cork for some time

 

[Daver6]

Thanks. Body is back...not sure where the mind is

Not 100% sure. I was going to guess about 2008 roughly too.
