Vinomofo Wine Deals

[Whining&dining]

, I thought I'd visit the AFF Vinomofo site that I have probably seen three times since. I have bought about 5 assorted cases of their wines and all are supurb. Not just good, but extremely good. I could barely hit the buy button fast enough after a bit of due diligence and then I got another two surprises. Free freight which I wasn't banking on, and a $25 credit sitting there. $80 for 6 certainly brings a smile to the dial. I went back to my wine notes and 28th march 2015 and 3rd april 2015 had me enjoying the St Johns GSM 2012 which was quite good and the incredible St Johns wild fermented chardonnay 2014. Oh the memories come flooding back as to the potential of the St Johns range.

Timing is everything as they say.

Well well well, talk about the Prodigal son! (and not the CCR song good though it may be). Great to have you back BF, many excellent bevvies have been consumed and deliberated over in your absence although not quite so many from the 'FO of late. I hope you are going to chime in with your pithy observations and occasional segues into stream of consciousness poetry whilst in the clutches of Dionysian fervour, we've missed your riffing!

Did VM change the price? Now $17.50, 50% off. Thought I saw it at ~59% off or about $16 a bottle.

No, same price when first listed on April 14th. They also have the Churchview Bartondale Shiraz @ $16.50, claimed 70% off, it only scored 90pts from JH.

Me thinks so... price matches and anything from WA mentioning cellar release makes me think of this. Wasn't a wine with fault though its definitely not near one of my best 'fo purchases.

Schild is pretty much only Barossa.

This seems to be: 2013 The Tithing Grenache — Willunga 100

Only 89 pts from Campbell Mattinson on TWF, apparently offered before by VinoMofo in August 2016.

I generally don't mind the Willunga 100 range as Cheepie quaffers but wont be buying any more of their Grenache.

Purchased the Alluvial fans recently and after trying bought some more, quite a nice drop.

It's pretty poor and unbalanced with sharp acidity.

Im in the process of returning mine.

 

[vlado]

thanks both

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Call from VM re Penley Estate Black Bull down to about $15 - not sure of year as I was not really listening.

What one did you Boom on?

 

[sagittariusdrake]

Did a bit of a stocktake/clear up of the wine collection chaos & realised how few VM wines I've re-ordered (to be fair more than I've returned):

Brokenwood Oakley Creek Hunter Valley Semillon 2009: Still available & really good
Tahbilk Marsanne both 1927 & regular vertical: Do yourself a favour!
Losada Vinos De Finca 2013 Appeared in a mixed Spanish mob good enough to get more - lovely fleshy medium-bodied Yum
Thousand Candles - OK 2 different vintages & whilst not the most outstanding wines, still nice & of great interest & now are historical artefacts since there won't be any more.
Seppelt Drumborg Henty Pinot Noir 2013 The best Pinot I've got from the 'FO - though there were a couple of good uns I missed out on & somehow haven't yet got a Giant Steps.
Honourable mention to Geoff Hardy - probably 5 or 6 different varietals under Hand Made & Pertaringa labels.
