dejavu兄

咁你今次真係好多酒要買同要帶喎
小心超重

講起我都有支Heathcote區嘅shiraz
上次飲過又係十分不錯
下次飯局可以用shiraz/syrah做theme喎

I think first thing first.  Wendouree would be the first to run out of stock, so I should get these first.

On second thought, why don't I fill up my cellar with Wendouree first before I buy for you guys.

My friend in the wine shop kept asking me about this forum and I kept giving him the mumbo jumbo.  If he saw this discussion here, he would put all his Wendouree stock off the shelf.

I won't forget la.  Thanks you guys for teaching me the trick at the customs.

I was having lunch nearby but then I realized I forgot to bring the paper from Ah Tai for his Giaconda.  So I have to go again tomorrow.

A very disappointing shopping trip.  Australia has gone crazy.  A booming economy and the drought drove up prices, although I don't believe price has gone up that much since I last bought my Wendouree in June.

Wendouree 2000 & 2001 Shiraz - $155 (last time 1997 @ $100, but he said that was a special for me).  There's only 1 each left in the entire shop.

However, 1997 Shiraz Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are still $85, same as before.

Here's the most ridiculous price - #389 1996  $135.  Last time I saw, it was $70 and even then I thought was ridiculous.  #389 2003 $45.  Everything I saw has gone up so much.  RWT 1998 if they have them, would be $225.  RWT 2003, one left, $175.  

Ah Tai - Giaconda Chardonnay.  They do not stock them and it's difficult to find.  But they have the 2000 Shiraz @ $155.


I went to another chain store called Dan Murphy which is eqv. to Watsons in HK.  It's said to be the best price in town.   I found 1995 Wendouree Shiraz @ $175, and if I buy 6, the price is $162.50 or thereabout.  I also found Gianconda Cab Sav. 2000 @ $125.   I forgot to ask whether they stock the Chardonnay but I will go back tomorrow.

It's time to quit drinking.

if u think the price of the Wendouree is still good compared those in HK, just buy it without hesitation.
1995 shoud be a better vintage that more mature for us to comsume.  James Holliday and Hugh Johnson said Wendouree is good regardless the vintage variation. DOn't worry, just buy the lowest price with older vintage.

I don't know the price in HK, but according to your tasting of the 1997 Wendouree last time and your knowledge of the market price, is the 1995 Shiraz at A$162.50 a good deal????  Or shall we go for the Shiraz blend at half the price?  I am inclined to use Dan Murphy's price as the benchmark.   

Another thing to consider is, we can get around 22.5% tax refund, making the net price A$126 plus the HK tax., or at today's exchange rate HK$850 plus HK Tax.

I just assumed that I can get a tax refund.  Someone told me that there's a tax refund office at the land side and I can show them the wine before I check them in to my baggage.  Then I can go to the air aside tax refund office with the stamped receipt and get the refund.

At A$135, I have to cellar my #389 now instead of putting them on the kitchen floor.

must buy Shiraz ONLY!!! the price is ok to us, don't worry!!  

一千幾佰,猶如xx!!

幾皮就話唔捨得啫

remember to buy the 2001!!! best year after 1998  for shiraz ma!!
then get the 1995, also good for drinking. at least we can drink it in 2010, closer and still no need to quit alcohol.

That's the problem.  They are from the different shops.  There's only 1 each left for 2000 and 2001 @ $155.  

1995 is from Dan Murphy and they have quite a few.

just collect whatever u think good.
get them all back and then we will deal with them all. don't worry!

But can we get them cheaper in HK?

IMPOSSIBLE!! it only can get in Everwise in Hong Kong and their price is always high.
cannot check the price since i cannot log in to their website.

Dejavu, have you checked the price at wine-searcher? It could give you an overview picture whether it's expansive compare to other place.
