Yep I went with option A.Go with you option a. You had an inkling it was an error. They could easily give you nothing. Save yourself the grief of a battle you're not likely to win and know you've done the right thing and so have they.

So agree with you on Sam Kim! He's the new Halliday of inflated scores and then you have to add another point... I'm even slightly more on alert when I see a 96 from him than if he doesn't score it. Am I being mean?Does anybody have any information on this? It is part of VC 6 for $100 deal. RRP is $50.
Terre Terre Down to Earth Cabernet Sauvignon
The only review I can find is Sam Kim 95 pts but I find his reviews useless.
"bold and gutsy"- 95 points for Down to Earth Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - Terre à Terre Wines
Down to Earth Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 “Delightfully fruited and lifted, the bouquet shows dark plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, toasty oak, dried herb and olive characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness, beautifully supported by fine texture and chalky tannins, finishing...terreaterre.com.au
Lucky you. My only VC in town gave me no confidence they'd restock any of the cellar sale items now they're cleaned out. Several items have been restocked at old prices. The guy said 'it was fun while it lasted'.Damn. This means I now have to scope out FC, VC and Dans every few days till June 30. I found more WB Platinum for $83 in VC but was told the 3 I picked up previously for $60 were a pricing error. Should have been the WB black. So can’t really complain....

FC hindmarsh Adelaide has WB black label for $60(plenty) and Petaluma for $40 when I was there last week.Meantime, has anyone had any luck at FC? I haven't bothered to check (though the adelaide wynn's black label price almost got me off the couch - but I just didn't believe $60 a box...)
Oh duh!! I thought I read wynn's black label for $60 a box but it was WB... me so dumb.FC hindmarsh Adelaide has WB black label for $60(plenty) and Petaluma for $40 when I was there last week.
Yer and they had about 6 boxes there, so plenty to buyOh duh!! I thought I read wynn's black label for $60 a box but it was WB... me so dumb.
But this wine looks like the next cab sav on from the 2016 terre a terre (for some reason they gave up on the French and went for down to earth). I bought that one on the back of some glowing praise. Great price and I'd buy it - for some reason it's not available in ACT. Booooo!So agree with you on Sam Kim! He's the new Halliday of inflated scores and then you have to add another point...

I’d be keen for a voucher if possible.
The winefront team (Gary Walsh, Mike Bennie & Campbell Mattinson) are by far the winners in the Australian wine reviews.I have always held the opinion that James Halliday inflates his scores, but he has nothing on the cough from Sam Kim. Does anyone out there have a critic they actually trust?

Highly recommend.
As per article belowSam Kim also used to claim to be a 'consultant' rather than wine reviewer/journalist. I almost completely ignore Sam Kim reviews, but wouldn't say he's corrupt or anything like that - tastes just don't align.
If I had to name one critic that lines up with my tastes it would be Huon Hooke. Apart from him I often cherry pick reviewers based on wine style (e.g. Halliday for Aussie Pinot, ignore Mike Bennie for Vic Shiraz etc...)
As per article below
Update – winemaker criticises paid wine reviews
We at The Real Review thought it necessary to name names. #JoBurzynska #MichaelCooper #MichaelGloverwww.therealreview.com
Also, what is your read on MB and Vic Shiraz (too harsh or too sympathetic?)
