5 days! Wow, wish I could get service like that from VM.

Well that's what the email said. We shall see.

I don't doubt it. I said 'wow' because my most recent order on Nov 12 said delivery by Nov 23. 11 days!

I wish VM would go back to using AusPost, or at least give customers a choice of delivery methods.

Sundays Restocked BM Barossan cabernet 2014 $10.50 from $35 is the exceptional Fox Gordon brothers and sisters. I can sum this wine up in one word-Stunning. If I sum it up in three words, it would be these words -better Than Glenlofty.

Wow - that's a big call BeeFarmer! I hope you're right because I just got a case. FOMOMOFO.

Given Aus Post lost four parcels that I posted in the one week, I wouldnt wish that on anyone... at least Nex Day actually deliver my wine.

Nexday have lost parcels of mine as well.

In my experience nexday take 3 times as long to deliver as AusPost.

As I said, at least a choice would be preferable.

Rocket09 and myself would agree that this is a better wine than glenlofty. Both are fantastic however !

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

Just got the $35>$11.50 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir dropped off. It's called 'Better Half' and on the back, in tiny, tiny print it says that it's by Santarossa Vinyards.

Cannot find a singular entry about it on Google, though I'm guessing it's from the Fratelli Brothers.

They have another Pinot Noir called Significant other that goes for ~$24/bottle RRP, so theoretically this is a better version of it at $35rrp!?!? I have heard that Yarra Valley had a particularly good 2015 for Pinot Noir.

Will report back with notes Tuesday night/Wednesday Morning after the 'Better Half' (oh so, so bad) finishes her Law exams.

The Pyren ink studio is a most interersting VM product, and I think would certainly be worth a stab with the money back guarantee. Consider this about the blend.
1. this winery is the definitive boutique. They only made a small amount cases of their block shirazes 2010. Slighltly more of the cab. The e block is their best without question.
2. their cabernet in 2010 was only 12.5 %. Their shiraz was higher.
3. VM have rred writing 13.5% alc when the label has 14% - bad miss hey doc !!
4. you cannot find any blend on their website.
5.Looking at the not completed/renovated website you get the feel that its all a bit glenlofti-ish.
6. Did they just get two big pots of cab and shiraz and blend them..from the unsold initial cases. I dunno, it makes for an interesting product. I would love 4only.

At least we don't have to guess what it is, just how it was made.

Pyren 2009 Studio Ink (RRP $28.00) This 70/30 Cabernet Shiraz blend incorporates artwork from 12 individual artists into its label designs. In other words – 1 case of Studio Ink contains 12 different labels. More info here http://bit.ly/vT8Ul0

Cheerio...at least it will be different, but will this be the case for the 2010.

Another thing, if this is a 70%cab blend, why do vinomofo call it a shiraz blend? I am being picky, but is it about markeing...probably.
Lastly, how much of the price goes into the use of some artists image....too many questions....stop !

remember the aldi shops stock items that the winemakers don't want to be identified with...good wine nevertheless.

Re: Vinomofo secret wine deals

Mine said Monday 23rd/ Hopefully it won't be another 38 degree scorcher while it sits in some warehouse waiting for a Monday delivery. I'm wondering if Perthians avoid mail-ordering wine over the very hot months just in case?

Starting to wonder about their delivery system this time. Purchased on the 10th then said delivery would be around the 20th now saying delivery on or about the 24th. All other wine i have ordered takes around 7 days. I am in Brisbane so not in the country.

Yeah just getting back to that whole ... 'if I can't buy it for $35 how can it possibly be 70% off' thing

Being a Cab Shiraz/Shiraz Cab and also a glenlofty/Pyrenees fan, I'm going to take a punt. Their website actually lists the 2009 Studio Ink at $30 per bottle ($360 per dozen).

I keep saying I'm going to buy the fox Gordon when it reappears (which it has), but this deal has my attention for now.

Welcome to the Christmas season.

 

[Vinobono]

Interestingly, I just convinced a friend to sign up and I told him about the VINOTIME code etc. The fo no longer allows the VINOTIME code to be used in conjunction with the referral credit, which doesn't really make sense. The VINOTIME voucher is meant to be on your first order?? Is it now only for people who weren't referred?

Common occurrence. Nexday have been getting very slow.

I think its more that VM is taking longer to ship stuff....

That may be part of the problem, but I can see via the tracking information when it enters nexday's system and when it is delivered to me and this amount of time has at least doubled over the last year.

But they can initiate the shipping information well before the wine changes hands

I'm basing what I've said on the details of the different stages available in tracking.

Eg: 'item collected' or 'item ready for delivery'.

Rather impressively, that 12 pack of Syrah I ordered on Saturday or Sunday that was processed today, is due for delivery this Wednesday. I think NextDay have been excellent for me in Sydney. They seem to handle most of my wine purchase deliveries, and they coordinate the delivery with the orders coming in from WineMarket and others. Shame it looks like they are not so good for you, Dr Ralph. Hopefully you see an improvement soon.
