Throughout the year, we put together several special sale dozens to suit the season. This is a case of beautiful, collectible, cellarable but also drinkable-now reds and whites.

We rummage through the warehouse and pool new arrivals, pallet-ends, changed vintages and the like. We also add have several rich and fruit-focused imports that have just arrived (not yet offered) and they are tossed into the mix as well.

We want to keep the $ very low – so low that you can open every bottle without care - $25+ seems like a good average (considering every wine in the mix was originally offered for more than that (or would have been), you will not lose in this endeavour – many of the wines were $30-45 and they are not even at peak).

We put something for everyone in the mixes – perhaps some Beechworth Shiraz, Burgundy Pinot, Margaret River Chardonnay, Californian Cabernet, German Riesling… We have approximately 300 different wines to blend into the cases so there will be a terrific mix and many of the wines will last well beyond this year (2-15 years at least).

Our only criteria for the case is...would we drink the wine ourselves? If the answer is yes, it goes into the mix.

All have pristine/original provenance, all are good vintages (no tired plonk here) and all are valued at more than the individual average – in most cases, way more (when I use the term "valued" I mean from us, not some over-inflated/hypothetical retail price with a slash through it that no one on the face of the earth will offer – that means the actual value is even greater).

ALSO, one case in three comes with a ‘knockout’ bottle of something truly extraordinary. It might be a Langton’s ‘Exceptional’ wine, a Grand Cru Burgundy, or a second growth Bordeaux. We can’t guarantee that if you buy three cases, you will get such a bottle. Or you might get lucky and buy three cases and every one will contain an exceptional bottle of wine. All we can say is that every third case as packed, includes a truly remarkable wine.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to 6 x cases/person (72 total bottles – by requesting more than one case, you are bound to receive a really interesting mix of bottles - if nothing else, this is a terrific opportunity at education where the choices have been performed
