Vinomofo Wine Deals

[Daver6]

I should have added, he rated it 89.

I can't say even at $24 his description inspires me.

Halliday doesn't rate anywhere as near as high (which is very unusual)

Red Bigot, superb source of info!

Yes I avoided that one, I read some pretty average reviews for it so I passed on it thankfully.

Had another crack tonight - oh so disappointing.. now to decide - do I try out the Vinomofo return policy for the first time or so I gift to friends who will only judge it by the $45 price tag they see when they google it!!!

O dear. I split a case of this with a friend, haven't tried yet. What to do

 

[Tim Nitschke]

I just put through the return request.. I couldn't palm this off knowing how bad it is... Is a shame but the 2010 Secret Deal at the moment (which i think is Hay Shed Hill Block 2) may be a suitable replacement!

Agree, a great return on investment there

Can you please clarify what Red Bigot offers to it's subscribers?

It's kind of like an Oz Bargain for wine. Very early notification of good deals from the chains and online retailers and identification of Secret Deals. It's run as a forum so it's easy to see the latest posts. Mainly reds but does have a white sub forum.

Contraband Deals now on. Is the GSM the Maverick Twins everyone was raving about?

 

[Flyinfish]

Think that's more likely to be the Bordeaux blend. I bought some of the Maverick Twins 2010, and while it is quite nice, I feel it wasn't the best vintage for this wine. Wondering if I should return for the 2009? (Assuming that's what the Contraband Bordeaux blend is).

Which one? I think there are 4 or 5 in the Twins series of wines. I am referring to the Contraband GSM which looks similar to the one recently marketed on the Fo, and a few on here indicated that is was the Maverick Twins GSM, which is according to them, a very good drop for the price.

 

[Flyinfish]

Yes, sorry, my bad. I was referring to the Cab Sav, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cab Franc blend. 2010 a bit sweet for me.

Any ideas what the VIM deal is?

2010 Barossa Shiraz, 5 Gold medals, 95 Jeremy Oliver points. Super Iconic wine, was $100, now $49.90. Previous vintage scored 97 from Halliday.

I would also like to know what it is but I haven't worked it out yet.

When I think Barossa 2010, $100 and iconic I think Elderton Command, Peter Lehmann Stonewall, St Hallet Old Block, John Duval Eligo...

Oh, I did get that one... The VIM is in very small writing and not in the email subject line... Not so good for us old folks to see.

 

[penegal]

They have been very vague...

The limited information available suggests it could be the Saltram No.1 Shiraz 2010

But that is a guess, so do not rely on this information.
