For 27 hours (not actually sure when it finishes!), vinomofo is offering free shipping - saving $9/case. In addition they've put up more than just the 2 or 3 wines they have on offer daily - infact they've put 27 wines out (a couple sold out already). I picked up the 'mystery Cab Sav' with the 94 pt James Halliday rating for $75/6pack (https://vinomofo.com/deals/mofo-secret-deal-94-point-hilltop…) - I like too that there's a good selection at the $70-80 mark.
Both referrer and referee will receive $25 credit on first purchase. Referral codes should be entered as a discount code when ordering. Orders to Northern Territory are not eligible.
After buying the above bargain from vinomofo I'm very wary of the prices given, especially for unnamed offerings. Be very aware when the brand name isn't given and so you can't check how much you're 'saving'.
I bought this deal - 'mystery Cab Sav' with the 94 pt James Halliday rating for $75/6pack (https://vinomofo.com/deals/mofo-secret-deal-94-point-hilltop…) - allegedly usually $26/bottle.
What I got was this wine: http://www.graysonline.com/retail/27732010/wine/barwang-cabe… valued at $19/bottle but easily available everywhere incl murphys for $15-16/bottle. And I couldn't find a review anywhere that gave it a 94 point James Halliday rating.
Don't get me wrong - it's a nice wine - but what I 'saved' was more like $15 than $75.
Did get a lengthy reply from vinomofo today apologising for their error & giving a link for the 94 pt review -
Hi Sean,
Ah, it kills me, this sort of thing. Firstly - THANK YOU. I've looked deeper into the RRP and spoken with Sam (the producer) - you're spot on.
RRP from producer is $23, but they sell it at cellar door for $22. So under our Vinomofo policy, RRP would then be $22. That it got quoted at $25 is exactly what we cannot stand from our competitors (inflating RRP to justify a discount/saving), so that's where it pains me to have discovered this.
It's something that an over-enthusiastic buyer has managed to slip through our deal approval process, which is usually pretty solid.
I've asked our dev team to set up an email to everyone who has bought the case (including you), and we'll point out what's happened, give everyone a chance to return the case for a full refund or credit if they don't feel after knowing this that it represents the value they expected, and we'll pop a $20 credit in everyone's account by way of apology.
Here's a link to the Halliday 94pt review - that wasn't made up, though he does quote the RRP as $19.99, which is, as you've discovered, what you might expect to find it for at Dan's, for instance.

I guess it's human nature for buyers to try to make a deal work within our guidelines, but that doesn't excuse it, and we're building something here at the 'Fo that has no place for that sort of thing.
Not a bad wine for the price. Infinitely better than the rubbish that winemarket (often) and Cellarmasters (99% of the time) sell for similar prices.
