Peay & Littorai Guided Tasting - Prince Wine Store

Default Description

www.princewinestore.com.au

Still not as cheap as buying direct, though the 2017 Bannockburn was available for $62 - when was the Block list realised last month and what date did you order, as obviously since then they've sold out of Block 3? Is there a minimum order for free delivery?

Also forgot to mention earlier for those who missed out that My Wine Guy now have Felton Road 2019 with only 3 or 4 bottles of Block 3 left ($30 voucher)

Came out on June 2nd

There are still block3s still available for block customers, a maximum of 2 bottles per person.

one of my favourite 2018 pinots of the few I've enjoyed

Interesting, I've had a bottle of DCB Pinot sitting around since NYE in a mixed pack from PWS. Guess I'll have to crack it open tomorrow to try out, not whole bunch though.

Also, I think MWG referrals might not be working at the moment.
