Wasn’t me. I grabbed five.

Anyone care to enlighten what happened? I feel like I missed out on some more disappointment

There’s no mystery to mine. They were a BWS clearance line. Final price 58.90/btl after all the available discounts.

BWS stores have been (at random) reducing a lot of their premium wines to clear stock. Cullen Diana Madeline has been popping up for $70 (vs $140 BWS normally and A$125 elsewhere). Rarely discounted and a great drop.

I cleaned BWS Paddington South Dowling Street out of their 5 a month ago.

Very few left, so timing has to be perfect.

Can you see this online or only in store. No stock near me at the moment, but I will be going past a store that has a few bottles tomorrow.

Just because they have it won't mean it's on special. Each store differs significantly.

Lethbridge Wines Botrytis Riesling TBA 2018 - JH99 - 375ml $77 @ Cloudwine
In the 25 years of Lethbridge Wines this is only the second time that the conditions have enabled such a wine to be made, the first time was 2011. Back then we thought that we had made a once in a lifetime wine and have held onto it tightly. This 2018 vintage has revealed that nature is indeed cyclical, although seemingly random, maybe it will be another 7 years until we can do this again, maybe 27 but this time we want to be generous and share this exceptionally rare wine, only 1333 bottles produced.

now added: Houghton Wisdom Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 - JH97, BW18.4 - $26.67 after $20 referral

now $23.33 @ Cellar One after $20 referral - 2 left

if you're now interested to try more Barolo, then perhaps consider Linnaea Trifulau Barolo 2013 - GW94 - $60 (free delivery with any 3 bottles), possibly the best value one since Cascina Fontana Barolo 2013 (though there is also Trediberri Barolo 2016) - even better is that its producers are now local Melburnians

now free delivery for $70+ orders @ Linnaea:

• Linnaea Apica 2017 Moscato D’Asti $30 - GW94
• Linnaea Allora 2019 Cortese Dell’Alto Monferrato $35 - GW94
• Linnaea Oblio 2018 Cabernet Franc Heathcote $40 - GW94
• Linnaea Trifulau 2013 Barolo $60 - GW94

15% cash back at Dan Murphy’s on wine through ShopBack

Any recommendations from Dans.

Mount Mary Quintet 2013 $77.21 + Delivery after 15% ShopBack, 5% off WISH

Whats wrong with the 2018 Grenache? It scored merely 1.5 points less than 2019. Is there such a big difference between both vintages? I got both but didn’t try any yet.

it's not a linear scale, difference between 95+ and 97 on tWf can be significant to some, not quite a percentile basis but similar

Just because they have it won't mean it's on special. Each store differs significantly.

That Mount Mary 2013 seems to be out of stock... had me scrambling for a moment!

yeah, sorry about that - I bought the last 2 - in Canberra at least!

 

[Tangenyahu]

A nearby BWS has the Moss Wood 2017 Cab Sav for $70 or $66.50 if using GC's. I haven't had this before - does anyone think that is a good deal at that price?

BWS's full retail is a bit of a joke, but if you find $50+ reds at 50% off on clearance it is almost always going to be a good price. Generally speaking, the higher the red wine price the less the margin.

Yes, I think it is a very good deal - assuming you like MR Cabernet

 

[mouseman99]

My local BWS doesnt have much but it does have the Brown Brothers Patricia Cabernet that I like.

If I was to buy six it would be come down to about $21 a bottle with usual discounts applied which is decent.

 

[georgehall]

Anyone had any experience with the Serafino mclaren vale reserve grenache? Has been added to a couple of BWS clearance stores at $18 a bottle in a 6 pack, I just grabbed a bunch then along with Teusner joshuas coming in at $15 each.

Needed some decent quaffers

yeah the bws website is absolutely atrocious, the worst out of all the major liquor retailers

sometimes, discounts get applied incorrectly, it says buy 6 for 25% off, but it applies to one bottle, or you apply 6, then remove 5 to get discount,

good to keep an eye out, as sometimes you get a screaming bargain

eg. I realised that an order I placed and assumed I picked up a year ago, said "yet to be collected" so I called up and they gave me a refund

eg. one time I went to pick up 3 cases of beer in one order, got there, got told 1 ready, 1 processing, 1 sold out, so "take 2, and one will be refunded"
next day got a refund for 2 from that order, and 1 from another order from 2 weeks ago from a different store that I had already picked up

Can someone please confirm if its 10% cashback at BWS via Shopback for wine or is it only the products listed?

Only those products listed. Everything else is 2%. It's a bit misleading I think the way it's laid out

do you have a receipt that you could upload so I can try a price match from Dan murphy's?

 

[mouseman99]

Thats what I thought. They have 10% off wine on the right hand side and then products listed on the left. Very misleading. Thanks for checking
