Hi Cactus. Yep, if you join one of their plans it is better, but I don't buy more than 6 of anything these days and I certainly don't need/want 2 dozen Wynns delivered to me annually. Horses for courses I guess.

Had this exact conversation with the winery some years ago...and granted they don't set the prices, however, are certainly in a position to tell the marketing department to get in touch with reality...I was at the chains able to get Riddoch and Michael $40 a bottle cheaper than the CD and told them to shove their overpriced wine plan up their backside...and was kicked out of the club.
All is forgiven and the prices are slowly moving somewhere where they need to be, although $120 for 2014 Michael is probably a bridge too far.

mixed dozen of Wendourees.
Mainly cab and cab blends.
Ade Wendouree offline influenced me to steer more in the cab direction or at least have a balance going forward.
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
