Just so you know, your address is visible. You may have some winos show up on your doorstep for some free tastings

I was aware but not concerned as its a business address - anyone interested in going this far off the beaten track is welcome to come for a coffee.....

Tomich pinot Woodside- eat my derriere. Randall has a lot of questions to answer.

Shouldn't "kiss my derriere" be more apt?
Still pursuing MW, not there yet.

my mate pete used the eat adjective...

anyway, it isn't the woodside as the alcohol is way off.... I am in the middle of a grievance with them and wanted a catharsis.

Not worth getting today's Pinot then?

This is catharsis.

Looks like the 2013 hewitson mother vine is back on. Any opinions on whether this is a good buy or a pass from those who have tried it?

The Mother Vine is a 'highly recommended' from me, especially at the Fo price. When I was rating it on Vivino, I said at the time:

"Lovely Barossa Shiraz - well worth it's 96 JH score. It's got lovely fruit power and elegance all in one sip. Highly recommended."

I am getting the hard sell from my new found friend at the Fo - aka Sarah the broker - regarding the Squid Ink. I am guessing nobody has taken delivery of this yet or tried it. Opinions from my dear wine enthusiasts? It's $60 a bottle at the Fo price, so needs to be a serious wine for me to jump on a 6 pack at that price.

Re: VIM Cabernet $80 down to $40

Could be: CapelVale The Scholar 2011 - Halliday gave it 94pts

This is confirmed as Capel Vale 'The Scholar' 2011

Wouldn't it be great to have a single post with all the confirmed deals in this format? Unfortunately I have no clue if/how this could be done.

The links become invalid once the deal expires, so we'd need to copy a bunch of identifying information into the list - more than just varietal and cost I think.

However, VM effectively repost the same deal on a different link, so at least we could match up. But yes, some central point (post) where we could find all the confirmed deals in whatever format would be cool.

I have edited my post to include some screen shots that should provide enough info.

What I meant was a table that just had a current/existing link, plus the name of the wine, wouldn't work. We've had a bunch of posts like that in this thread before, and because the links are now invalid, it's impossible to see whether a new offer has the same details/description as the previous offer.

I guess a table of Varietal, Region, Year, RRP, VM Price, Major awards would probably be enough to distinguish each offer. Maybe add ABV

Today's pinot noir Secret Deal is Petaluma White Label. Tried it last week, worst Pinot I had in a long time. Doesn't taste like pinot Noir at all. Should be avoided IMOH.

Re: VIM Cabernet $80 down to $40

So this deal is not available to all?

If it's a VIM deal, these are only available to VIM's.

If they don't sell out, they often become available to everyone.

Although I think you'll find TonyD45 has simply used the wrong heading for their message 'Re: VIM Cabernet $80 down to $40'

Pity you didn't see the review I put up at comment 4870 - seems it might have been on the ball

Looks good. Maybe ABV column. Are there any other unique descriptors we could use? The mof_ buyers description?
