I've had a Dandelion and quite enjoyed it. Not hard to find at $18 to $20 last time I checked.

The stand out is the Voyager Estate Margaret River Cab Merlot 2005. Good vintage and a good wine that will cellar for some time. The rest are OK.

Has any tried songlines ? There are some good review comments for it's 04,05 vintage , some web shops sell it's 06 mclaren vale Shiraz for 40 pb , stocks all gone now
They keep saying it is a John duval wine (ex grange maker), but he is actually just a consultant to this winery project

This is a retailers site. Don't you think it's poor form to advertise a competitors wares on here? His only other post was for another bargain from his store.

After re-reading the post I think you are probably right. Disguising a sales pitch as a question.
Hmm tricky.

sorry guys, i wasn't aware this is a retailer's site. I searched previous posts and found many discussions about various discount wine deals, so I thought maybe i could get some advice from this forum.

Have been to some online shops, but not sure about the actual quality of those wines. RRP prices are always misleading.

My advice would be to have a look at Gavin's retail offers on this same forum.

He's got great taste, the prices are fair, and you won't ruffle any feathers.

A win all round I reckon!
