Penfolds discussion and offers

95 points.

Now called bin 789 aswell apparently.

Not so quick, it's 798. How did they come out with this bin numbering system?
Grange is bin 95.
>> RWT Shiraz is soon to be renamed Bin 798 and Penfolds Grange, just so you know, is officially Bin 95, with the 2008 vintage that we knocked back currently retailing for £476 at Berry Bros.

Apparently it's 798 because that's the numbers on a keypad corresponding to the letters RWT.

The other Bins refer to the cellar location where the wine is kept

Maybe they used to correlate way back, but that is very unlikely to be true these days.

Same price as everywhere else. Dan Murphys, at least, has the benefit of a further ~12% off via CR/Wish cards.

I think delivery is free and is the Grange RRP or 760?

Because even the dumbest marketing genius on the team new that 7, 8, 9 was just too convenient...

Looks like the 389 is the best value bang for your buck red this year.
Is it likely to get it anytime soon for <$50? For those who didn't get in on the WM loophole...

Find a mate with a Langton's/Vintec voucher, order 7 bottles of it plus something else to bump it over the $500 mark (like a bottle of Ironscraper) then brings it down to ~$55 a bottle. Not WM cheap but cheap enough for the impatient.

I tried the new 389 at 1st's on the weekend and grabbed a bottle with a $10 off voucher. Was incredibly smooth and impressive.

I wouldn't mind a few more for years to come, so will wait for a reasonable deal to pop up. Actually it's not bad buying @ $64 with the $10 off voucher either.

No idea, haven't had a chance to have a proper look at its content since installing and signing up......

Yes it's not bad at all. Some good wine reviews, travel, food, etc. it's free (ATM) so try it out.
