Shiraz 2020 – Black Market Deal #48763
Thanks, got in at $21, got 3 cases of the price drops from yesterday.Use code QUICK for $21 off up until midday then it becomes $18 off. Not much of a carrot as full freight shipping charge applies
I think you may have been better off doing 3 orders with $21off and paying $9.95 delivery fee for each.Thanks, got in at $21, got 3 cases of the price drops from yesterday.
3 cases = free freight!
Was "Once per person", so let loose on multiple accounts... Unless they are checking names/addresses these days.I think you may have been better off doing 3 orders with $21off and paying $9.95 delivery fee for each.
Unless the coupon was the single use only.

Rick Burge sold the winery to Chinese interests, I think 2018 was his last vintage. I've bought and enjoyed many of his wines before then. I bought and enjoyed the 2018 Draycott. I bought and sent back the 2020 Draycott Reserve, but it could have been because the bottle I tried was slightly affected by cork taint leaving a hard, drying "furry" aftertaste, the rest if the wine character was fine. The wine was originally listed as being under screwcap, so that added to my annoyance when it arrived as cork-sealed.Black Market Deal #46976 appears to be 2020 Burge Family Winemakers Reserve Draycott Shiraz. I see the cheaper 2018 Draycott Shiraz (not a "Reserve" version) was well regarded here in early Feb (now sold out).
I'm unfamiliar with The Burge Family label, but have plenty of Grant's efforts in the cellar. Any thoughts on the Reserve version?
I can't recommend 2018 Draycott Shiraz high enough. It is available for purchase cheaper on Winestar site here (still available)Black Market Deal #46976 appears to be 2020 Burge Family Winemakers Reserve Draycott Shiraz.

Thanks @redbigot - interesting. I tend to prefer screw cap these days.Rick Burge sold the winery to Chinese interests, I think 2018 was his last vintage.

I spoke with a wine maker in the hunter valley and he was talking about the frequency of issues they had changing from cork to screw cap. It went down 70% or so and that's on the manufacturing side, I imagine there are a lot less issues with screw caps. Knowing that I still like corks, I find it kind of "romantic" and part of the joy of drinking wine.Thanks @redbigot - interesting. I tend to prefer screw cap these days.
Yes, I find cork taint, premature oxidation, woody/musty/corky flavours all add to my joy of drinking wine. Or not. I do remember the joy on winemakers' faces when they've opened their cork sealed wine for you and found it tainted.... I imagine there are a lot less issues with screw caps.
