Qantas Wine latest offering

[QF WP]

I went for this one when the email came through - how have you rated the RSW?

See my assessment here: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....-wines-i-have-drunk-53868-64.html#post1224799

For the price paid, it was okay - but not a better wine IMO than the wolf Blass Black Label (perhaps an unfair comparison). Think it needs more shelf time (as the RSW was a 2011)

I would generally stay away from the 2011s, a very poor vintage. the 2010 and 2012 on the other hand, quite exceptional

We've had some lovely 2011s from Wolf Blass and Peter Lehmann...

Probably why Epiqure were handing out 10K points for purchasing a case of 6 back in November . I gave most away to clients but kept 1 to drink.

For anyone who is interested (apologies for going off topic), Langtons has a nice chart which provides ratings for each year, based on location and grape type https://www.langtons.com.au/Content/pdf/VintageChart.pdf Perhaps a good reference document when weighing up the pros and cons of purchasing that next Epiqure bonus points offer!

Cheers - fingers crossed for the 2012. I'll try to avoid temptation and leave them alone for a few years. Was the Wolf Blass the one that was part of a bonus bottle offer sometime ago? (We've had one of our three that we got at the time and it was excellent)

 

[QF WP]

Yes it was $180 for a case of 6 with Black Label as bonus. Wished I bought more of them now

This offer looks to be decent value, but I'm on the sideline resting after taking the last three bonus points offers.

Latest bonus points offer below. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on which is the better value of the two shiraz offerings?

I haven't tasted either of the straight Shiraz's. But I'm like you, taking a rest as both my QFF points balance and space under my desk are replete.

Plenty of room under desks and so forth, it's my wallet that has taken a hammering.

Got more offers this week but have already deleted them - the Wine Plans may give nice wines but no bonus points.

Did anyone head to any of the Sips and Sliders events over the past week? What was your experience? We gave the Adelaide one a miss due to the poor location, but would be interested to find out how it went (and if there are any corresponding discount codes still in circulation )

We did in MEL and weren't particularly impressed with the way it was run.

we've got Brisbane tomorrow night - hopefully will be the best

Just don't expect too much food. Dismal offerings in melbourne.

By the sounds of things I didn't miss anything by not going to the ADL event.

Me neither. I did send them some feedback about the frightful location of the Adelaide event (main arterial road in a non fashionable industrial area with no public transport around). Sounds like they could do with some feedback about the actual execution of the event also. It's quite disappointing, particularly given that smaller cities like Adelaide only usually get 1 - 2 events per year.

If the event was in the CBD, I can think of 6 people who would have attend more likely than not.
