Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

Might be worth rechecking the local Liquorlands, wirra wirra church block added to 4 for $40 here. Always a decent quaffer, others as well.

Managed to grab that today too.

Managed to grab that today too.

The small local store I went to has the Wirra Wirra McLaren Shiraz rather than the church block on special. Will try to check other shops later.

Thanks @electrotek I have ordered a dozen

Surely a mistake? Was this in Melbourne?

In Artarmon (northern Sydney).

Seems to be nation wide, mine had Church Block too. 2017 vintage. They're refreshing the selection weekly it seems as Peter Lehmann stuff is now back to normal price. Stuff that's not selling seems to "stick" to the next week.

When I get my Umamu mystery cases will report here. Hope others do too (might be fun to do a bit of show & tell!). WA to Vic is darn slow right now thanks, so some of you may beat me to the punch.

Did anyone here participate in the cellardoor.co mystery $75 case promo today? Sold out in an hour apparently. Would be interested to hear what everyone got.

I tried but missed it by minutes. I don't think you find out till it arrives do you? I could be wrong

 

[kevviek]

I am hoping someone could tell me. When I say better value. I am thinking in terms of quantity perhaps. A single bottle??? I am not sure???

Different wine but Te Mata Coleraine has been selling at a discount on some sites - was on Grays a while back

What would be better value at the sub-$100 price for a comparable style wine in your opinion?

I am hoping someone could tell me. When I say better value. I am thinking in terms of quantity perhaps. A single bottle??? I am not sure???

Quantity or quality? Law of diminishing returns - something half the price will be more than half as good

Mount Mary Quintet is on par with the cheaper Cullen Diana Madeline and Te Mata Coleraine - these are perhaps the best A/NZ Bordeaux blends, excluding ultra-premiums

In terms of Yarra Valley, it rivals Wantirna Estate, Yarra Yering, Yeringberg

How long has it been since Quintet was that cheap?

at retail, four years - 2017 has been also available for $105-$115

Campbells Muscat for $5 seems like a no brainer too

In Pairing Wine and Food, Experience Is the Best Teacher (Published 2020)

Books, websites and apps promise to take the guesswork out of choosing a bottle, but nothing is better than experimenting for yourself.

www.nytimes.com

Great Southern's La Violetta Das Sakrileg Riesling 2019 has just been rated 95+pts by Mike Bennie and called one of his top 10 Australian rieslings, after the 2017 vintage was included in NYT Eric Asimov's top 12 wine moments last year (alongside Luke Lambert Nebbiolo 2017), and the 2016 was one of Max Allen's top 20 Australian rieslings in 2017

consider supporting independent distributors and wineries, who have been affected by the COVID-19 shutdown of restaurants/bars, which are their main source of business, rather than retailers

Bindi:

• predicts they will lose 90-95% of pre-coronavirus sales, so basically won't have any profits
• just released new wines this month as part of their biannual schedule
• AFR article about Michael Dhillon's mother Kaye after whom a wine is named

hoddles back up to $24.99

now down to $21.99 again @ myCellars

For French reds, I have no idea where to start

• cabernet/merlot - bordeaux
• pinot noir - burgundy
• gamay - beaujolais/morgon
• grenache/shiraz/mataro - southern rhone
• shiraz/viognier - northern rhone
• chardonnay - burgundy/chablis
• botrytis/semillon - sauternes/barsac
• sparkling - champagne deals

Parkers Cellar have 2017 Wynns BL Cab for $27.00/b - delivery appears to be free.

I had never heard of them before seeing the ad on FB, anyone else have experience with them?

ilovemum gives a 5% discount bringing the BL down to $153.90 = $25.65/bottle
