Can't bring myself to say that Rockford Basket Press at $199 is a bargain

Can’t bring myself to disagree with you, more a reflection on the shambolic and overhyped sales ploys

RRP for Basket Press Shiraz 2021 is currently $90. For 2018 Vintage it was a smidgeon sub $80 from memory. How do they come up with their "RRPs" is beyond me.

Hopeless, when I looked at Rockfords Basket Press and Schild Estate Moorooroo they were full price. Went back on the site and they had been reduced and were sold out. Not sure why I bother with VM special events anymore

Wasn’t just me then. Thought I’d imagined it has went back a while later and Schild was $99, so was able to get a bottle. Rockfords still a bit pricey for me at $199.

Yeah I happened to be on when the full price with some extra mayo on top was available. VM is just about gone.

Correct observation. The secondary market drives prices up, but after many years collecting at cellar door and storing in my cellar I think I’m better off selling than drinking. Lovely cellar door but the wines aren’t that good IMHO…I got my first dozen Wendouree this year and I figure there’s 10 or so years before I find out if the hype is worth it there!

Geez, 10 years to wait for a wine to age, after waiting i'm assuming 10 years to get on their mailing list. So if i send a letter in to Wendouree now for my 2 year old.. by the time she's 22, she'll be able to enjoy a 10yr old bottle.

We're operating on Wendouree maths tonight boys.

But staying on topic slightly in regards to "RRP" - this specific flavour of "RRP" seems to be mixed in with 2ndary market value as opposed to a self-imposed inflated RRP from the winery... (ie, any CW wines). It does lead to some confusion though .. because are we talking RRP by winery, RRP by stores, or Secondary market ... RRP value?
