Vinomofo Wine Deals

Argh....I have actually run out of storing/hiding places.

Glad I get on a plane to Europe next week. Will help me resist temptation to purchase more. Combined with a dinner party the night before we leave, am hopeful we can come back to a nice empty wine nook.

Soooooo sad i missed out on the decent 70% offers. Guess my wallet is save for today^^

Touriga Blend - Quattro Mano Duende Pinta

I have bought a few of these from dans as an everyday quaffer... something different and good value at $18.
At $6.90… wow… get thee behind me satan.. now where the hell can I put it…...

A seriously good deal but like you, where do i hide, er, i mean store it?

Can you folks say what effect (if any) the 2011 vintage had on this wine? Or at $6.90 am I overthinking this?

Sorry carwashhair that I can't directly answer your question.
I was thinking along the lines of a wine that you would pay $18 for at a discounter like DM would certainly be a good deal for $6.90.

I just posted this on the other alko thread…

Just a heads up for fine wine lovers.
Candamber fine wines .. aka www.discountwines.com are selling out their large storage cellar.
Release one email came only a few days ago and today release two.. so they must be flying out the door.

I ordered the Black Market Shiraz (2011 McLaren Vale - 94 Halliday) but have no idea what it is. Closest i've got is the Pertaringa Undercover 2011 but cant find a review to confirm. Any other leads?

 

[hachoo]

Ha! Was just looking at the same thing.

I think it's the Mitolo Wines McLaren Vale Shiraz 2011 - Rating 94 - $25 (from the 2015 Wine Companion)

~take that back, has to be the one above.

I think you're right, 94 from Halliday but 87's and 88's from everyone else. Thats a big gap, even by Halliday standards

2011 is a bad year as a whole for McLaren Vale as everyone knows. Appears to be one of the better 2011 Shiraz' from the area. For $7.50, can't see it going that badly.

Guess also beware it's a 94 Special Value awarded points.

I think gaps like that are quite common. Halliday's use of the scale is absurd in my opinion.

https://www.cellartracker.com/content.asp?iContent=34 describes how the rest of the world tend to use it. Anything over 80 is considered a good wine and free from faults.

Touriga Blend - Quattro Mano Duende Pinta
Grenache Shiraz - Tapestry Grenache Shiraz
Adelaide Hills Cab Sav 2011 - K1 by Geoff Hardy Cab Sav
Victorian Shiraz 2011 - Glenlofty Single Vineyard

Can anyone confirm that the market cab sav was in fact the K1? This is what I thought I had ordered in the sale (@$126 per case) but on Friday 12 bottles of Chain of Ponds Amadeus 2011 Cab Sav arrived?

I recommended it as K1 based on similarities between this deal and a 2009 black market cab sav which a friend bought a month ago which was the K1. I wasnt aware the 2011 Amadeus was even released yet. Apologies for the misinformation

Don't worry - I actually had a feeling this is the wrong wine,so dug a bit and as it turns out the Amadeus was actually selling as a mystery deal case of six for around $18 per bottle. But now I'm confused and not sure what I should have received when I ordered this on 9 September:

BLACK MARKET DEAL Cabernet 2011

[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]$126.00

[h=1][/h]BLACK MARKET DEAL Malbec Blend 2010 for $8.10 a botttle advertised today

Black Market Deal Malbec Blend 2010 - Red Wine

This is the Capel Vale, which was on a few weeks ago. Obviously no ones buying it!

 

[Buzzard]

I took a punt and purchased the contraband deal ($99 + del) so will report what it is when it arrives.

Received this wine yesterday.
Fox Gordon 2012 Eight Uncles Shiraz ($19.95 cellar door)
Will try a bottle next week.
Interested if anybody else has tried this wine and what you think.

 

[rawlax]

Opened a bottle of the Braydun Hills Cellar Reserve Shiraz 2008 from last week (regular labelled deal) - thoroughly recommend. Would buy another dozen without thinking

My previous quote from up thread:

Interesting. I bought Fox Eight Uncles from Vintage Cellars a couple of weeks ago for an effective price of $8.57 a bottle (advertised price $14.99, plus bonus $25 cellar share when buying 6 plus triple points) - a couple of dollars more than VM price for a dozen, but I knew what I was buying!

Pretty decent wine for a little over $8 a bottle. Medium bodied savoury old world style, rather than usual Barossa big full bodied fruit driven Shiraz. Not sure I would be happy paying $20 a bottle.

Reminds me I still haven't received my bonus points or cellar share!

 

[Rocket09]

I paid $118 for it a few months ago, good drop esp for the price. Also bought the Fox Gordon's King Louis Cabernet and Hannahs Swing Shiraz but have yet to try them.

 

[rawlax]

Black Market Cabernet from yesterday is most likely the Glenlofty Single Vineyard Cab Sav 2011.

I've tried the Glenlofty shiraz recently which i'm not super keen on but i think its more a style thing than anything else. Theres nothing wrong with it, i'm prob just getting too picky for an $8 wine. Some others in my buying group confirmed that they had drunk better wines from Vinomofo before for the price as well
