Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals

[YNWAJUVEN]

Just noticed the cancelled order has contributed to the unlocked level. Might rectify after a few days but could be a little trick to bump levels if they don't track a cancelled order.

Nah.. it rectified after a few days…. I was hopeful too until….

 

[Robliversage]

Confirming this earlier $68 MixF arrived contained a Coldstream Hills Amphitheatre Club Winemaker's Selection pack with these wines and a tasting notes booklet.

My $125 Mystery Box #1 also arrived matching other's experience (with the WB Grey).

Later ordered Mystery #1 was also cancelled and replaced with the Mystery #2, yet to arrive.

My Mystery #1 was switched to Luxury Collection Wynns (June 2023). I had the Mystery #2 already in the order so suspect they switched it to something else so I didn't get two boxes of the same. Pretty happy with the switch if it holds true for $125!

Ah well, was a longshot!

I got the Coldstream box
Not a PN fan but I expect guests will like them enough not to relegate to the gravy shelf

when was your #1 and #2 pack shipped?

 

[Lemon_Party]

Received my #1 pack today, also sans the John Riddock.
Still very happy with those wines for $125 though - thanks @SirCrumpet for finding and sharing the deal!

They cancelled my large order earlier in the year but it propelled me to the winemakers club tier and kept me there. Maybe since fixed.

Yesterday - will update when arrives (as will everyone else it seems!)

Was this pack #2?

Not sure as I went straight from link but I believe MixF

I believe this was the $68 pinot pack, not the $125 red box #2

Hmmm, what's in the Wynn's luxury collection? And how did you find out about the swap - on arrival or did they email separately?

My $275 mystery box came with the WB grey rather than the JR... Have enquired about it but was told it was the correct case. Can't help but feeling hard done by...

Some of these rrps are very inflated, I found the 2017 journal to be a very average wine last time, certainly not a $100 or $175 bottle

That's the same as my $250 Mystery Box so yep I'd be pretty happy with that!!

(Wonder if it's worth a whinge to TWE...???)

(Wonder if it's worth a whinge to TWE...???)

It’s worth remembering that these are sold as mystery boxes and their contents (including those that have another mystery box inside) aren’t generally exposed / made public.

It’s fun to dig in and unearth some of the mystery, and equally fun to place a bet on buying a hidden mystery product shared on a forum like this that could end up being a great bargain or could equally end up being cancelled with some probing questions sent your way.

In any case, it’s all part of the gamble - I’m not sure you’re going to get very far with arguing your case to cellar door, and I imagine we would see less of these revealable in future if people start complaining that they somehow managed to find out what was inside.
