Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[prozac]

Are you volunteering to come over, and meticulously go through my cellar and shoe boxes of receipts to catalogue everything?

That's so generous of you Steady

I can imagine that scene.

 

[penegal]

I can imagine that scene.

It would quickly descent to Steady and I undertaking quality control. I can see us sitting on a small table surrounded by empty wine bottles with not a receipt in sight.

 

[AnonymousCoward]

Affirmative.

I don't think it's fair to compare a $32 "hidden label" deal with a $39.95 deal, and say the price has gone up a lot...you probably couldn't have gotten the 2012 at less than $39.95, as a regular retail deal.

I agree with that, also in this case they probably don't need to discount as much. The 2012 was 96 Halliday points. I think it also helps when the 2013 got 97 points and the 2014 won best shiraz at the Royal Melbourne wine show. Pedigree sells

 

[vedder50]

Good morning vedder50. You are right, it is three of us. As I explained in my email to you, we had several issues with emails, stock levels and also with the original email to you. I have spoken with Chris and we all agree he needed to provide you with a more thorough response.

Please accept my public apology.

Sincerely,
Steve

Just an update for others, my order was promptly delivered (3 business days to Melb) once I was emailed that my order was confirmed as received. Thanks Steve for getting involved and resolving quickly.

Thanks for the link, I just bought a case. Was tossing up between this and VM pinot deal.

Welcome aboard khussey, which one did you go with?

That's fair I guess.

I still think at $65 it's getting high, but at $40 it is more palatable

descent

descend even - really need to learn to proof read.

... And I haven't even had a drink today.

well, umm

I can imagine that scene.

Im starting to now

It would quickly descent to Steady and I undertaking quality control. I can see us sitting on a small table surrounded by empty wine bottles with not a receipt in sight.

I can see clearly now

Also pleased to report that although I've not received my order yet, Steve's provided me with tracking info so I now have a delivery estimate and a bit more peace of mind.

I'm guessing Langton's

https://www.langtons.com.au/product/69017/1/2012/peter-lehmann/shiraz

Was my guess too, but I didn't get an email about it, and I've bought plenty of Stonewell before through them. Hence wondering if it's some other retailer.

My Langton's email today had it for $80 - I joined via Vintec not AmEx so must let my broker know that I have an AmEx and want to receive their preferential pricing in future

They also have Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Shiraz 2014 for $99 (or $73/$77 with $100/$50 Vintec voucher and 9.6% Cashrewards)
https://www.langtons.com.au/product/9415/1/2014/mount-langi-ghiran-vineyards/langi-shiraz

Whilst rated 98pts by James Halliday and 95+pts by Campbell Mattinson (Winefront), Jeremy Oliver apparently only gave it 91pts according to wine-searcher

The Mast Shiraz is considered better value (similar scores at half the price) - though perhaps (consequently) more scarce

Cellarmasters has $100 off $200 spend with 100OFFWINE today only (thanks to OzBargain)

In Dan's catalogue commencing tomorrow (Thurs 15/9/16):

View attachment 79428

Should be able to get it down to at least $167.20 (less than $24 avge a bottle) by utilising click and collect with 5% wish card discount and 7% cash rewards cash back.

was also apparently (no longer) $170.80 if 6x Grey shiraz chosen ($150.30 or $21.47/bt after Cashrewards/WISH)

 

[rhodges]

Cellarmasters has $100 off $200 spend with 100OFFWINE today only (thanks to OzBargain)

They didn't even mention that it was a CashRewards offer. Should be good for the regular 8% off too if you click through via the CR site.

what's worth buying there with that 50per cent off?

Nor has anyone mentioned the $20 cashback from Amex.

That brings the GB Filsell under $19 for me as I need delivery, I would jump if I could click and collect @ mid $16 (after CR and wish card)

 

[CJEMNMAC]

I really like the Wolf Blass 2012 shiraz grey label

I think can be tempted at +/- $16 per bottle ( using $100 off ..8% CR etc etc )

 

[Steady]

Nor has anyone mentioned the $20 cashback from Amex.

Well the $20 cashback gets it below my price point (The GB wouldn't meet the spend $120 for those don't get stung the $15- delivery)

 

[stubacca]

Nice. $120 minimum spend on Amex.

For a bargain quaffer, Gemtree Uncut Shiraz 2013 will just sneak over the threshold if you get it delivered ($6.95 for me): $224.03 delivered - $100 - $20 = $104.03 or $8.67pb)

If Cashrewards goes through, it should give another $15.70 back, makes it $7.36pb.

Zonte's Footstep Chocolate Factory 2013 also for the same price.

Maverick Twins GSM 2013 or Maverick Twins Cab Blend 2010 just a touch more, at $10pb.

Some others (e.g. Filsell, Terre e Terre Cab Sav, Bleasdale Generations Shiraz) are still good buying with $100 off, but won't quite hit the $120 AMEX requirement after discounts, so you'd need to add something else to the order.
