Teusner 'The Dog Strangler' Mataro looks pretty good value at $19 a bottle, no points bonus though

I just bought a case of D'arrys Original 2013 for $199 including delivery. Actually works out almost $3 per bottle cheaper than Dan Murphy's for a good drop that I like. Plus there are 6000 bonus points with it. Easy!

I just did the same - spur of the moment as I (finally) selected my free gift (for hitting P1). Good deal I reckon.

Plus up to 5,000 if you registered for the "Earn twice the rewards on the ground" promo.

Yeah I was wondering about that: do the bonus points count for the double points promo?

In the mail I received Epiqure was the first example cited of how to earn. No obvious reason to assume that bonus Epiqure points would be treated differently to base ones, unless I'm missing something obvious.

Just received the latest email for Oliver's Taranga Mixed 6 at $25 + 5,000 bonus points; also individual cases at same price & bonus points.

Don't know them myself. Anyone tried these and are they good value?

Latest email from Epiqure is spruiking their Winery of the Month, Jerrico with some bonus points (8K and 5K per 12 case): https://www.qantasepiqure.com.au/wo...ent=product1&utm_campaign=womjericho_20170504

I need some points for an upgrade, so looks like I'm in for some Tempranillo

 

[QF WP]

Bloody hell my heart skipped a beat when I saw this receipt ... I honestly thought for a second that I hadn't typed 1 in the quantity box (rather it's 112 cases)

 

[mmchow]

Is the Tempranillo any good?

 

[Basalt]

Is the Tempranillo any good?

Yes, really lovely early drinking style. Just the right amount of gamey, savoury and young fruit flavours. Campbell Mattinson gave the 2015 a v good review. Bought a case on spec for my better half who prefers Pinot Noir when it comes to reds and she loves it, partially as it has so few tannins. Just ordered another two cases. They won't last the winter (probably won't last autumn....)

 

[QF WP]

Basalt, I think the latter is much more likely . In my household as the sole red drinker, they may last until winter, when the bigger Shiraz and Cab Sauvignon will take over

it’s considered Jericho's best wine and well-regarded/rated by critics and consumers - check out Philip White’s reviews of the 2015 and 2014

 

[amaroo]

Thanks for the recommendations - I'm in for a dozen and ~ 9,600 points

 

[mmchow]

Guess I'm picking a case for myself too. Thanks for the feedback
