Have you checked the past messages? Isn't this the St George that's been on many times before?

Nope haven't check good Doc - should I have done that first before posting? Is it the St George? NFI - jk thought it might be - maybe some good fellow AFFer might be able to confirm.

I would have thought that's the point of having 191 pages of information now collectively logged about Vinomofo deals.

Maybe you and I just don't share identical thought patterns to you Dr Ralph.

It looks like a good match for the st george based on JH

 

[jasonking]

NFI jk - I see so many of these discounted offers on a daily basis I totally lose track of them.

So true.
That aside, rrp $70 points to Lindeman St. George.

CE, could be very helpful, to all, if you did check the past posts as you actually asked exactly the same question about this same wine on December 10, 2014:

"Re: Vinomofo Wine Deals

No doubt somebody will know what todays Secret Deal 96pt 2012 $31.50 Coonawarra Cab Sav is?"

And you received several quick responses at that time which indicated that it was the St George:

You would also have seen that the wine was confirmed (via photographic evidence) as the St George on December 16:

Hence the inherent value in checking the past posts, including those authored by yourself.

If you weren't already aware, Vinomofo often repeats their hidden label deals many times.​

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Apologies Doc if my postings aren't quite to the standard you desire - I will attempt to be more careful going forward.

And apologies to all other AFF members for not remembering my postings from Dec 10, 2014.

Looks like today's secret deals are Lindeman St George for the Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 and Hewitson Mother Vine Shiraz 2012.
Not because I am a wizard but because of some memory retention from reading previous postings.

The Lindeman St. George 2012 is also heavily discounted at their own online shop, $210 for 6 bottle case.
However vintage 2010 price is still $70/bottle. Vintage 2012 crooked?

 

[Dr Ralph]

This seems new:

Adelaide Hills Tempranillo (unlabelled) - Red Wine

First time I can recall Vinomofo offering an unlabelled wine. Seems like a lot to ask for it, given how cheap their hidden label deals usually are.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Thanks jk - always a pleasure to read friendly informative replies to genuine requests from AFF members - and an added twist of humour as well - gotta love that.



I would also like to ask views of members who have sampled the 2012? (Jeez I hope I have not asked this question previously!)

This is common as we aged. That should be your domain.
We repeat what we just said, we ask the same questions over and over.

Langton's Vintage Chart rates C'warra Cab a 9 for 2010 & a 10 for 2012, so exceptional vintage. Have purchased the St George but not tasted. Historically very good if you enjoy that style. I'd give it a minimum of 5, preferably 10 years before drinking. If restraint isn't one of your virtues at least aerate/decant it.

Hi all - any idea what the chardie deal is today? Thanks!

No, not new, Doc. That's an expired deal from 2011.

Well I have been doing a lot of research (googling), and the closest (rrp $38) is "A.Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Chardonnay".
I have to go for lunch now so someone might follow up.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Expired? Came up as being available for sale today. At least to me.

That's very odd. The link you posted is to the wine database, and shows a pic indicating "50 cases left at a saving of $186 per doz", but no price. Just a notify me button. Definitely wasn't visible on the "Deals" page for me. Google indicates it was a deal offered in 2011/2. Perhaps it was a brief webadmin glitch.

Maybe only available to VIM (Very Important Vinomofo)
