$55. Not sure where Graeme G found them for $38.

They were $38 on Wed, $54 on Fri! Impossible right?

If I get a new job soon I'll be back for a second case - great value at $12. Better wine than the 2004 Leasingham Magnus or recent Seppelts Originals which was the last house wines.

Mixed vintages 6 pack of Capel Vale Whispering Hill Shiraz (2007-2009)
Mixed vintages 6 pack of Capel Vale Scholar Cabernet Sauvignon (2007-2011)
Old Kent River Chardonnay and Diamandtina (bubbles)

The "Green Chain", in Eastwood, Sydney. But on Wynnsday itself. They did seem to imply there were 'launch-day special' prices; the black label wines at $25 (6-packs) for instance..
But then, they wanted $100 each for M & JR. Perhaps they thought the Glengyle would be hard to shift...?

I paid $34 for the previous Glengyle just a few months ago at a big green bottle shop. Assuming there's enough stock, I'm sure you'll get it fro $30something if you are prepared to wait.

BTW has anyone found any other cracking deals like the Leasingham above recently?

I got mine from the same place. At 5pm on Wynnsday they were $54. I hope you bought up at the $38 Graeme.

You know, there is something very comforting about your incredible

predictability!

Sigh, you've been doing this for longer than I've been hosting this forum!

Couldn't resist. PS Don't mention the cricket
Been in good touch this year. My netball team won (magic) and my rugby team too (chiefs)
(Three out of) "Four more years"

So long as you had fun while it lasted Craig

Found myself cheering on a NZ in the 1500m tonight. When an Aussie isn't in it then NZ will do

Was under no illusions that it would stay that way but fun while it lasted. NZ traditionally starets strong at the olympics as the events we are strong at are at the front end of the programme

Shame about Willis, that was disappointing. One more possible gold for us in the sailing

I was in the stadium cheering for him last night Craig. He faded when it mattered - much like a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc!

6 x Voyager Estate Cabernet Merlot 2008
and 3 each of the 2011 Mike Press Cab and Shiraz to fill out the case.

Half a dozen Ruggabellus wines after trying some at fermentAsian. I just love grenache and mataro and these 'fruit salad' wines hit the spot.

-- George Krashos

A case each of the 2011 Mike Press Shiraz and Cabernet from our gracious forum host. Very happy with both wines

Abbotts and Delaunay Cumulos Nimbus 2010 ... wow

Abbotts and Delaunay Alto Carignan 2010 ..... double, perhaps triple wow,

now these are wines!

.

6 x Rosemount balmoral 2010
12 x Devil's Lair cab/melort 2007

anyone here tried Devil's Lair cab/melort before?

In my experience, they need plenty of time. They are normally very good with a few years in the dark.

Hmmmm just saw this and thought very interesting. I arrived at the same store somewhere a little after 6 to do the tasting as well.

Was probably standing next to you at some point .....

Perhaps an "Auswine" cap would help identify like souls? (please note all branding royalties to go to the RSPCA blind chickens rest home,,,,)
