Rarely do I buy anything from Vinomofo but i have 2 x spend $299 / get $70 back vouchers - anybody tried this? - Bernard Lonclas Millesime Champagne 2013 (3pk)
No fire received here.Hey man, not looking to throw fire on you.
Neither of these wineries has a good reputation for producing consistent quality. Pirramimma is another Mclaren Vale inflated RRP character, always clearing cough through Grays, DM etc. Im not saying there isn't some good there, but you're gambling.
By contrast, Dave Powel is a great winemaker whose been on let's say an exceptionally rough journey since his exit from Torbreck. I'm looking forward to seeing him turn the corner, but I can't in good faith recommend him out for the moment.
Best advice for you would be Alex Head (>$20), Hardys HRB 2018 (~$20), GB Filesel 2019 (>$30) and Torbeck Steading (~$37.5). Reliable producers and blenders ensure quality each year.
Step up is Luke Lambert Syrah, Margan Fordwich Hill Shiraz or Timmo Mayer Syrah. All ~$50.
Remember wine is poison - so may as well drink the good stuff. Cheers!
EDIT: try some straight Mataro from Greenock creek or similar if you get the chance to.
While I don't often buy Pirramimma, they have been around a long time and will probably be around long after Dave Powell self-destructs for the final time. They cover a big range of quality/price and style, something for everyone.Hey man, not looking to throw fire on you.

Hi everyone, any ideas on this:
Mourvedre 2020 - Black Market Deal #44021 - Red Wine
We wonder why this wondrous variety doesn’t get more time in the spotlight. Yes, it’s well known as the third accompaniment to the ever popular GSM, but as a...www.vinomofo.com
Thanks
My feedback to VM in their last customer survey is that they seem now to mostly be flogging failed exports with overinflated RRP and have drifted away from their roots, which was good deals on genuinely good wines…all the Hewiston stuff coming out would appear to support that view.

I took your suggestion on the Rall Wines White when you posted about it last time and very impressed too. Thanks for the tip off!Best thing for me on VM is the very occasional true bargain import that bthey have. Worth checking the site very now and again for these.
Recently being...
Domain Bosquets Gigonadas 2018 & 2019 both excellent
Chateau Mont Redon C9DP 2016 was half price
Rall Wines White 2020 from South Africa - Excellent wine was also about half price.
There's also a fair bit of rubbis from an import perspective and many RRPs are inflated. I usual;ly check what the waine can be had for in Europe as part of my selection process.
You’re just teasing now….I have a birthday voucher to spend!There are some nuggets there currently if you sift through diligently enough

Sorry for the delay.Any recomendations?
Have you tried it yet? I also bought a 6 pack but it is wedged on the bottom of my pile!Chateau Mont Redon C9DP 2016 was half price
Thanks. I was leaning towards this Cabernet Blend 2019 - Black Market Deal #42671 which is Jim Brand Domain, but in the end ordered the Clarence Hill, the write ups seem good.Sorry for the delay.
My current picks are
Powell & Son' The Blend' Shiraz 2020 - HELL YEAH - needs no introduction
Price Drop: Shiraz 2019 – Black Market Deal #41849
This is Haselgrove Clarence Hill Reserve Shiraz (Not to be confused with other Haselgrove brand on VM)
I bought both Shiraz and its sibling CS and thought that both were fantastic for the price.
and this Shiraz 2018 – Black Market Deal #44067
Which is Pirathon Silver Shiraz I had it before 2017 and thought it was an exceptional Barossa for the price ($20 over at Nicks)
I found Vanilla dominance on the palate framing dark fruits but in a very good way. Perhaps it is a Hungarian Oak influence but I might be out of my depth there. People I shared a bottle with were very impressed and could not believe the price.
The downside it is a 12 pack so I was lucky to share it with a mate.

I had a bottle of Jim Brand Domain Cabernets. I found it too bright and too acidic for my taste. I thought that Parker Reschke Wynns BL and Leconfield CS offered much better wine for less. However some of my friends liked Jim BrandThanks.

This is great without a decant!Had the Powell and Sons blend Shiraz.
Great drop for the price, needs a couple of hours decant to drink well now, reckon it will be aces in 2-3 years, but perfectly fine now with a decant.
