Link, high cost to low.

There's some serious wines there, I haven't seen any real bargains at the lower end yet.

Anyone here a member? Non-members can buy online but you pay an extra 5% at checkout.

How do you get past the 'shadow' block-out? Have 'accepted' several times but keeps coming back up.

I was for a few years but have let my membership lapse recently. That Barolo Flori is a great deal at £10 a bottle! From what I remember the single bottle deals on say Kim Crawford SB were no better than supermarket specials.

Im a big fan of the Gavi Di Gavi Alta Battistina, the price is no better than I can get from other suppliers, the main being my local Indy who Id rather give my money to.

Anyone running a business can soon become a member, after that, friends may become employees :wink: .

There are some good middle rank deals in the France section.

Albert Bichot - Pouilly Fuisse 2010 is a 8.5/10 vintage, I'd prefer the '09 but at £10.48 a bottle it cuts dear ole Tony Laithwaite down a peg or two.
There is a 2009 St Emilion GC at £10.48 - a top right bank vintage.
The Potel 2010 Gevrey Chambertin at £16.66 is a jolly good deal, and will also have the Sunday Times wine club smarting ! Agian a 9/10 vintage

The William Fevre chablis wines were also good value versus most other supermarkets and wine clubs - good vintages for all the chablis, if I remember.

I thought the Chateau Gloria 2009 at nearly £35 was strong money, I last bought at £18 for the 1998. Gloria is very nice and its been hiked-up in recent years (cos it's nice). The Cru classe clarets were / are clearly aimed for deep pockets on the business account.

It would be nice if they could stock some good US wines.
Tried a Virginian Veramar Cab Franc recently - stunning wine.
