When has it ever been too warm for shiraz or cabernet?

It's why air conditioning was invented

And if one was to visit CD tomorrow, you might find that it might be available

Thank you for this advice, I've got a bottle winging its way to me.

I should take my allocation and flog it.

They state a RRP of $180, I wonder who made that up? you would think a RRP would come from the winery?

That would be RCDP

I guess since technically BPs aren’t offered to the general public even at the winery they quote standard retail price.

Most of the non-BP wines seem close to cellar door prices?

I heard that RR was going to be released in November.

Ive only been a member for a few months but have been regularly purchasing a range of their wines (R&S, WF, MS)

My understanding is it takes 5 years to become a Swer?

Based on a range of factors, time is certainly one of them, but also purchasing history and that relates to not just how much you buy but what you buy, so perhaps not always the same

My unofficial understanding is it's also a bit of a one out, one in club.
