Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

I’m wondering which Levantine Hill PN 2019 they are referring to. LH just released their 2018 Estate PN this month according to their own website.

I actually ordered the 2017 LH Estate PN at Ryne couple of weeks ago (they currently don’t do BYO) and it was “only” $120 but maybe it’s not regarded as one of Melbourne's most famous restaurants according to TWC.

They are quoting 95 points for the Pinot...I looked up the critic as I didn't recognize the name - and he's their senior wine buyer!

United Cellars love the self reviews from their head wine buyer too. I cringe when I see them.

Nicks wine merchants also do it but I find them to be a lot more objective.

I also find Nicks rating to be objective and in most cases spot on.

The fact they highlight reviews from dodgy SK and others less known yet nothing from TWF (and TWC love highlighting TWF reviews) is enough of a red flag to stay away from that offer.

Wynns Black Label cabernet is back in stock at BoozeBud for $25/btl. Received an email with a code offering $30 off spend of $120 or more, bringing it down to $20/btl for a 6-pack. Not sure how widely the code was targeted as it looks unique.

Anyone care to share a boozebud code? They're offering 10% off plus free shipping anyway, so still ok value...

Mine didn't come thru but I see a keystroke to BWS was registered. I initiated to claim a missing cashback, they are telling me it will take upto 14 days.

Hope this is of use to somebody. After 2 week Shopback investigation into my missing $25 cashback, they concluded that I am not entitled to the cashback as they could not trace it.

I have appealed the decision and they now credited my account with the cashback.

Dear Wine buffs - please let me know if i should post this in another thread, but:

Who has good suggestions for reasonable Central Otago Pinot Noir, that doesn't cost the earth?

Prophet's Rock Rocky Point at about $35 is the best I can do recently, wondering if anything in the $25-35 bracket?

Thanks!

PS
Cellar One has a 24 hour Pinot Noir Deal - various 6 for $99 ie 16.50 each - three of them are from Central Otago so not too shabby of a deal. If you are not a member - you could get a referral from another thread in this forum to get an intro credit to bring the price down even further

Edit: a quick research suggested that only Ta_Ku Pinot Noir: Marlborough, NZ is a bit iffy, the rest are formidable/solid.

I believe they are referring to the Coldstream Guard pinot. It looks like this is a Levantine Hill product but it is not an estate wine and there is no reference to Levantine Hill on the label of the bottles I received (2018) . I noticed some pictures on other sites appear to show "Levantine Hill" printed in red in the space between "Pinot Noir" and "Yarra Valley", but the bottles I received have a blank space there as pictured below.

It's actually a fairly nice, typical Yarra pinot, $25 is okay and I've enjoyed it enough for that, won't rush to buy more but if a good deal came around I would consider it.

Code TWENTYOFF may work for $20 off the order also, it did work on the Shiraz Discovery pack at the same price.

Ozbargained. Shiraz Discovery Pack $79 Delivered @ CellarOne
It was meant for another selection of wines in a recent offer, looks like it was allowed in error on these new mixed packs.

I got sent the code for doing a survey. Maybe only those invited for the survey have the code as valid against their account?
