Shiraz 2008 - Aged & Rare Deal #55607 (1pk) - Red Wine

Yes, we know we can't tell you the producer, BUT, trust us, you'll be blown away when this arrives at your door. Pretty close to as premium as McLaren Vale shiraz can get. Serious collectors would do well to jump at this offering...

Any ideas on this?

Looks like it's

Does appear a pretty good chance it’s Geoff!

I've never had any of their wines, any good?

Very well known wines. Solid, but not spectacular in my experience.

Better value elsewhere.

Aged & rare sale is Here

I was hoping to see some aged Riesling or Semillon or even fortified & stickies
But it's Shiraz & Cab Sav show as you'd expect

For years I was Shiraz over everything else but nowadays I find heavily oaked red wines unappealing & there's day after consequences

 

[sihyonkim]

Pretty disappointing sale. As usual...

Most of it is the same old. Gives you an idea of how much stock VM is sitting on though. Crazy.

If I was a member of any of these winemakers I'd be unhappy.

Look like Craggy Range, can anyone confirm? I'll bite

Bordeaux Blend 2013 – Aged & Rare Deal #54229 - Red Wine

Breathtaking. All you have to do is say the name of this producer and every Somm, Dick and Harry within earshot will start salivating. This wine's weighty reputation precedes it, but does it live up to the hype? Is the pope catholic? An absolute pleasure to drink. No notes.

Lots of wineries are sitting on lots of stock. VM is one moderately sized pipe out of the lake.

I suspect a lot of what VM offers is on consignment, ie they don't buy it, they only pay for what they sell.

Quite confident it's the Sophia based on checking several of the scores.

Very likely. They sent me an email about it a few days ago.

Where I'm coming from is you sometimes the winemaker is selling these exact same back vintages at crazy high RRP's. And then VM is flogging them for 1/4 of the price. Does the winemaker offer them to their members for the discounted price? Likely not.

I don't care. Have no skin in the game since I'm not a member of any wineries. The whole situation is curious though.

Yeah, it's actually a good way to destroy your winery's reputation. I will never buy at anywhere normal retail price any wine from a winery that sells on Vinomofo. They have to list the wines on their sites at full RRP to justify the VM claims.
I do buy a bit directly from a few smaller/medium wineries, ones that have non-onerous buying requirements and a decent discount for member buys and wines that aren't normally discounted if they are even at retail.
