I reckon the 10 is a great vintage. What $30 chardonnay would you rather drink?
Sacred Hill 'Rifleman' Chardonnay? The '07 was excellent.

Love to know where you can buy riflemans for $30. Twice that is "cheap" over here.
I like riflemans but its overpriced
What, twice the price! I agree, that would be overpriced. Last year I found the Rifleman Chardonnay in Edmonton for just over C$20, about the same as the Oz dollar. My friends and I really liked the '07 so I went and bought them and myself a few bottles each. I still have a few left.
Craig, given what you say I can't imagine they would be flogging the stuff overseas at a discount. Either there was a price error or the stuff wasn't selling at the price point and they had to get rid of it. The bottles were priced and on the shelf. It wasn't a checkout error as I returned a few days later to pick up some more, and, if I recall correctly, they still had some on the shelf some months later.
