i bought the 38bucker vic cabernet and gave one to my work colleague....he loved it....i gave his a glenlofty shiraz and he nearly cried when the last glass was over....based on his similar taste likes to me, and considering i have not had one of the remaining 11, simply based on that quality assessment, i bought the 38bucker vic chardonnay.. do i knwo if it comes from the same place...which place???....i don't really care..........now rawlex, tell me how on earth you could possibly go wrong with any wine that sells for over thirty bucks that you are buying for somewhere between 8 and 12 ? you damn well cannot, since you can ring the VM's and credit it. i dont work for them , i just buy a lot from them for work mates, family members and others. as electrotek said before he went running for the diazepams and lorazepams, stick to 2012, 2013 and 2014 and you will get a great wine. pick your regions as you desire. however, if you are getting a cabernet that's normally over 30, you know it will be very good. i have just in the past month bought a few in the VM twenty dollar region. This was probably double my VM buying price, but once again, i have not been disappointed. In fact, some have been rippers .the gsm from w.a. was a real beauty, but i think that was about a tenner,sorry for that, but the the reserve w.a. shiraz was very good, and the fifty bucker pinot down to 15 from adelaide hills was exquisite....it's bloody easy to buy something you will like. It's bloody hard to stop doing it. To that point, I have a six month hiatus from any plonk purchases. Cheers everybody.
