Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[misohoney]

This is what I wrote (I’m no Sam Kim):
Ok, mine got delivered so I had to open one up. I’m not much good with the descriptive, but am quite happy with $17ish per bottle. It’s not as good value as the Rose Kentish that I got from Dan’s recently, but it has complexity, fruit forward with a bit of pepper on the nose. Bit of an earthy aftertaste that I’m not a fan of, but maybe with a few years it will improve. It’s got a diam 3 cork, and the “wax dip” is actually plastic.
—> of course the rest of the Rose Kentish wines I got were damaged ...

Thanks - I think you outdid Sam Kim there.
Given you paid $17, I can't be paying $20

You can rely on Sam Kim’s ratings at your own peril. And on JH as well as far as I am concerned.

But hey, each to his own. I much rather rely on real people opinions here who ACTUALLY drink wines for their opinions rather on those guns for hire. Just a personal preference.

I had to travel 20min from home to pick up my Dandelion Red Queen of Eden, and discovered the clearance section in Glen Waverley Dan’s has everything at 50% off. Was happy with this selection - Dan’s in Brighton doesn’t even have a clearance section.

Was it 2014?

Had the BDX before? I've picked up a sixer from Dan's unwrapped at $12.50 a pop. Love the winery so took the 'plunge'

Was it 2014?

yup. Interesting though, it’s not a very fancy bottle for an expensive wine, but both back labels have what looks like spilled glue on them, it wasn’t until I looked closer and saw they are both identical that I think it’s deliberate.

No, but I like the blend. Plus I opened a 2015 Serafino Cabernet last week and it was sensational, figured it was worth a punt.

I suppose there is only one way to know what it’s really like! Might take a punt myself too.

Cheers, my thinking also. Haven't received as yet so no idea. Price warranted an explore.

Agreed. One of the most underrated wines. Pure dark chocolate in a glass.

I love Winestar, have shopped with them for years, but this result of a push email re a mystery wine this morning made me laugh... why buy good ole Curtis Martins 2016 for $32.99 down from '$150' from the main Winestar range, when you can get it as a last chance once in a lifetime roll up roll up mystery bottle for the incredible price of $34.99? Mystery pricing it sure is!

I believe it's the same price at Dan Murphys? One of them may be matching the other.

Any feedback? I got gift cards which I bought with 10% off ages ago.

It was available for quite a while, but one of the reviews turned me off.

If available to you, good wine!

What about the 2017 CabSav same brand, 95 points @ $9 ea. Won't deliver locally and I'm not keen enough to chase around with re-direction etc. Vivino 4.1, but scanty reviews, been caught out with that before. Wine searcher has 2018 at $45 ea from producer - https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/...ingle+cab+sauv+barossa+valley+south+australia

What is the actual reason? (Your ref didn't contain a link).

Late last year I purchase Shottesbrooke Shiraz of a similar vintage for $9-$10 and was quite happy with it.

I thought it is a different brand. I purchased Bethany Grenache last year from Dan in the same sale. Was ok for $9 but nothing to write home about. Earlier this year I bought Bethany flagship shiraz from VM and had to send it back. No more Bethany for moi.
