You could pretty much buy a DONE4 for that money, and get more stops, lots more flight options and you'd get status.
Of course. I've taken several DONE4s as a sweet way to WP. Nevertheless, I do buy a reasonable amount of wine each year, and these deals strike me as particularly good value over and above just heading down to Dan Murphys and grabbing some random bottles of cabsav for the weekend.You could pretty much buy a DONE4 for that money, and get more stops, lots more flight options and you'd get status.

Of course. If one has the time and money to research and sample the options. Or a good local wine merchant, which can amount to the same thing. The local guy is amazingly good in recommendations and stock, and if I were to spend $8K with him, I'd have a bloody good cellar of excellent wine. But I wouldn't have a round the world business class ticket.Sure - if your choices are between Epiqure vs DM, then "yes" - I'd buy these deals from Epiqure. But I think there's much better value (and better wine) out there.
But I buy and drink wine, and Epiqure's offers represent a good way to get good wine and points
I used to jump on all these bonus point offers but have since wised up. I can usually get better wine, for half the price and save my coin for other things (or for buying AA/LM/UA points).
It'd have to be a pretty good deal to get me to jump on it.
Here's the Taylor's Heritage Release again, IIRC it's the same price and offer as last year's release.

Question is, shiraz or cab sauv?
I'm a fan of Woodlands' Margaret, which is a level up from their base Cab Merlot. And their Cab Reserve is top-notch. Don't think you can go too wrong with the base Cab Merlot - just comes down to what price you're happy to pay
Depends on what level they are offering in The Bird in the Hand range as there are 3 levels. The two in the bush is quite nice fruity and spicy. Typical Adelaide Hills cool climate. Its obviously not the top of the range Nest Egg. Check their website as it is a good guide. Cheers RugAnyone have any experience with the Taylors Heritage or Bird in Hand shiraz's? I'm leaning towards latter, but never tried them
