Every now and then I get an email from an internet wine retailer and I think
to myself, that sounds too good to be true so, I do some investigating. I
received two such emails today with very, very good reds at very, very good
prices; and, after much investigation, here they are.
2007 Taltarni Heathcote Shiraz. RRP $40 a bottle. This week it
has been reduced to $30 a bottle and if you buy six you get six free.
This is a restrained, medium body shiraz which
is not common for shiraz
from the Heathcote area. That makes it the ideal wine to introduce to the
person who is not sure if they like shiraz.
You can find it at www.kemenys.com.au. They charge $10 postage which is
very reasonable indeed.
The next two come from www.winestar.com.au and include a shiraz and a straight cabernet. They
have free postage to certain areas including the Hobart metropolitan area.
2010 Teusner The Riebke Shiraz. RRP $20 a bottle, now $17. This is not
necessarily a bargain but great value for money when it comes to Barossa shiraz. James
Halliday gave it 96 points. If you want to know more about how good this
wine is, go to the winestar website and read the guff on it. I warn you,
it will take a few minutes that is why I am not saying too much here.
This is, seriously, a wine that is batting well above its average.
2009 Tyrrell’s Vat 70 Hilltops Cabernet. RRP $30 a bottle, now
$15. Almost everybody knows how good Tyrrell’s are when it comes to
making good wine. Combine that with the superb 2009 vintage in the
Hilltops of NSW and a $15 price tag and it all adds up to a bloody good red at
a bloody good price. This one is only available until Friday.
'Til next time and remember, live simply, laugh often, wine alot.
