Some good wines there, and "okay" pricing.

...

Actually if you take $50 / $70 off for the value of the points, the pricing is quite reasonable indeed.

We purchased tickets for the epiQure Event, Up Close and Personal to be held 7 November, in Sydney,

"Up Close and Personal with Australia's most outstanding chefs

Join us for a rare opportunity to hear the real stories about life at the top of Australia's restaurant industry in our exclusive dinner series, sponsored by Champagne Jacquart.

Enjoy a four-course menu matched with premium wines from Tasmania's Holm Oak as we discuss with the country's leading chefs what it takes to make it in the competitive food world; the highs, the lows, the pressures and passion. We start with Andrew McConnell at Cutler & Co in Melbourne and Neil and Josephine Perry at Missy French in Sydney."

We purchased our tickets on 12 October, and it looks like Josephine Perry sadly closed her restaurant on the 13th October.

Disappointed, probably would have been quite an insightful talk.

Nothing on the epiQure web pages(site currently down as well) as to what is happening, but I am sure they will let us know.

Is it me or is the new shipping service epiQure is using a bit on the slow side with poor tracking? Maybe I have been spoilt previously but I liked delivery within a couple of days and the ability to track the order.

My last order was a week ago and according to the only entry in the tracking record, it couldn't be found for two days after receiving confirmation of dispatch, is that it is in transit from Sydney to Melbourne has been so since Friday morning. :shock:

I placed an order last Tues. It was despatched on Wed and delivered yesterday.

I don't have a problem with that.

Emails received for date of despatch, tracking notice, expected del day, on the way today and finally "we have del"

I'd be happy with that.

At the moment after seven days I have had one email from Fastway, advising of dispatch and giving me a tracking number that couldn't be tracked for three days. Now my shipment is somewhere between Fastway's Sydney and Melbourne depots, where it has been since 05:12 on Friday.

Perhaps they are sampling it for you TonyHancock, to make sure it's still able to be delivered (well, what's left of it).

I received an email today advising I would receive another 12 months complementary premium membership

Ditto for me... not as excited as a couple of years ago.
First world problems, I know!

Me also. Looks like we all got the offer? Anyone know anyone who were asked to okay for the new year's membership?

Same here. I think I've only placed on order early on in the year too.

This weeks email - can anyone comment on the Heirloom? Nothing otherwise has me wanting to buy

Have only recently started dipping into the wine deals for points. The taste at the moment is a bit touch n go. From people with a bit more knowledge, Are they putting more points on the less favourable bottles?

I got the Holm Oak Pinot Gris at $258 a dozen with 7 000 points. IMHO a very nice wine.

Thanks, Placed an order and will see how it tastes.
Do you use an Aerator for white wines?

You can use an aerator on white wine; oaked wines open up more non oaked become smoother to drink. Cheers
