Different Drop has 10% off all pinots with code PINOTPARTY until 14/4

I went way over my normal limits but in the end a chance to try Bindi, Yarra Yering & Tolpuddle at very good prices allowed the required internal self-justification. That & padding out the dozen to keep the unit price about $40. No Easter eggs for the home this year.

Received two bottles of the Cavaliere in a pack from WD (and I don't mean some eponymous online merchant) and cracked one at Christmas thinking that it was going to be a let's "push out the boat" kind of wine and was left feeling a bit underwhelmed, just wasn't as big and profound as I had been led to believe, have left the other one "sleeping" (borrowed that expression from Rug) and will revisit at a later date....

It's usually pretty easy to guess Uncle Dan's secret selections, but he's just given up trying now... I put these two bottles in my cart and it shows an image of the super-secret mystery

For those with extravagant taste, Dan's has got the 2009 Penfolds Bin 707 cab sav for under $360 a bottle when you add in CR and WISH. It's an online offer only though.

I last bought Bin 707 from the 1993 vintage at $40pb and the 1991 @ $35pb, stopped buying when it doubled in price back around then.

I now have only 15 bottles of Penfolds in my cellar (of around 3,000), 3 Grange 2004 and the rest various vintages of St Henri.

They just are not worth the asking price to me in recent years.

Yes, their wines prices go up increasingly. but I still think St Henri and RWT are still worth to buy.

I recall only a few years ago paying $35 - $40 for Bin 389, whereas now BWS are selling it for $95 a bottle! The marked increase in these wines over the last 4 years has been absurd.

The quality hasn't really increased (they were always good wines, at least in good vintages) and is still subject to vintage variability.

I like to think I was lucky to have lived through the era when they were a relative bargain and am happy to now have found adequate replacements I can still afford.

$8-9 if memory serves me correctly. Out of 3 cases I have 1 left....1985

They might be selling it for $95 a bottle but no one is paying it

BIN 389 is still regularly available for under $60 a bottle and in my view is worth that price.

I've got quite a lot of the 2004 that I'm just about to get around to opening.

Thanks for the heads-up Steady, don't suppose the vintage is known? (I've got a TC just down the road from me....)

Then again, the median house price in Melbourne in 1980 was $39K!
