I notice Vintage Cellars are flogging 2014 and 2015 Grange at $699.

Anyone interested ?
 
I see Penfolds have just released 3 new bin wines
Bin 704 Napa Valley Cab,
Bin 149 wine of the world Cab,
Bin 600 California Cab Shiraz

(info on Wine Spectator)
I adore Napa Cabernet 😍
Following the Penfolds model, the California Collection wines are defined by bin numbers and have a hierarchy of quality, starting with the Bin 600 Cabernet-Shiraz ($50) and moving up through the Bin 704 Cabernet Sauvignon ($70) and Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon ($149) to the flagship Quantum Bin 98 Cabernet Sauvignon ($700 a bottle). All of the new releases are from the 2018 vintage.
 
This is a new low....


Lacks the Benfolds class
They have exported more than a 1000 million bottles. Good for them and aust economy. But how is it possible to make wine cheaper! maybe the counterfeit wines are actually better? Who could tell? :)
