Hey qaz is it possible to break down the numbers concerning the Xanadu 2016 Cab Sav at MWG as their site shows it as $36.99 per bottle in a straight six and I can't see how the combined referral and first purchase credits reduce it down to such a low price even using the $31.50 price matching (admittedly maths isn't my strongest suit)....

Now $11.45 delivered after also price-matching Dan Murphy's $31.50

I think that would be for a single bottle delivered. Price - voucher + delivery.

$31.50 price match - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery = $11.45

EDIT - CORRECTION: ($36.99 x 3 = $110.97) - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery - ($36.99 - $31.50) x 3 price match refund = $74.45 / 3
($30 voucher has $99 minimum spend)

 

[Soap]

$31.50 price match - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery = $11.45

Have they changed the referral from $99 minimum spend?

 

[Whining&dining]

$31.50 price match - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery = $11.45

Ahhh I was imagining that might be per bottle for six (wishful thinking I know!)...

 

[qaz]

Have they changed the referral from $99 minimum spend?

Sorry, since when has that been the case, or has my memory failed?

Thanks for letting me/us know and I'll update my previous posts to make it $24.82:

($36.99 x 3 = $110.97) - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery - ($36.99 - $31.50) x 3 price match refund = $74.45 / 3

Haselgrove Twist Primitivo at First Choice. A decent primitivo, not sure of the vintage yet. Comes back at $12.48 a bottle (if buying 3 + 3free) using $10 newsletter signup, and 3.15% CR ($5.15 CR)

Thanks @qaz, picked up a dozen Xanadu CS 2016 from Dans, spread across personal and business usage. Looking forward to my collection date of 17 April.

From my Forum:
Simon - Are you going to match their price for those of us who have already pre-ordered with you?

100% - just flick an email to myself - [email protected] (probably a bit slower at responding) or [email protected] (much more expedient) and we can refund you the difference!

Thanks for the lead Chonka, the last decent Zinfandel I had was the Churchview St Johns from WA and that was a pretty ballsy number without being inelegant. Certainly a cheap price using the various deductions but the buggers want to sting me $18.95 for the privilege of delivery to Tas, kind of takes a bit of the gilt off the gingerbread

Edit: orders over $40 free shipping with promo code FREEDELIVERY today only apparently....

Yes, for price-matching at My Wine Guy, just order online, then email them with pricing details, to receive refund of the difference:

EDIT - CORRECTION: ($36.99 x 3 = $110.97) - $30 voucher + $9.95 delivery - ($36.99 - $31.50) x 3 price match refund = $74.45 / 3

Dans out of Stock.

Dan's aren't out of stock - try a different location/store - however, given that Gary Walsh has now rated it 95pts on Winefront, the equal highest of any Xanadu cabernet (2013 Stevens Road, 2011 Reserve, 2009 Stevens Road were all 95pts; previous highest for the standard was 2009's 94pts ), it probably won't be too much longer until it is

Thanks for this post @redbigot, I didn’t consider price matching on bottles purchased prior to cheaper offerings - MWG has already confirmed a refund.

As I don’t buy much from many of the retailers qaz promotes price matching with I hadn’t taken enough notice

With 3 bottles (+3free) you will get free shipping anyway. Sign up to newsletter and the next morning you will get a $10 discount code. CR came back at full price for 6 bottles.

Another nice Zin I tried recently was the Murphy-Goode Liars Dice 2013 from DM, but it's not on special anymore
