Amex plat card (may be available in other Amex cards?).. just seen in the “offers” section a £50 statement credit when you spend £200+ at Lay and Wheeler.

There’s also £20 back when you spend £100 at Laithwaites.

Sadly not for me with the BA Premier Card - I need to switch up!

Also allows you to somehow feel as though you've saved money every time you've actually spent £££ on wine

Not on the standard BA Amex either

For any L&W Cellar Circle members there are some good bottles with a bit of age in the linked offer from the email that just went out. Picked up some Sadie Pofadder 2013 (£30p/b IB), Skerpioen 2014 (£39 p/b IB) and LRA 904 2005 (£35 p/b IB)

 

[Mark N Wright]

Saw that and was originally going to add a couple of bottles- 1Pofadder and 1 Soldaat, but deleted them from my basket. Later had a rush of blood and bought the Kusudu Syrah instead - ouch!!!

 

[Tom Shelley]

So annoying, as a Cellar Circle member I never get these, no sign on the website, assume long gone

 

[James Redford]

My email cannot decide if it likes L&W or not. Some stuff comes through to inbox with no problems, others like this end up in junk with no rhyme or reason why.

I would have had some of the LRA but showing as £75 per bottle now so will give it a miss.

 

[Simon Wheeler]

I didn’t get the email but saw the link, some really interesting bottles at some fair prices (excluding the burgundy)

 

[kevin heatherington]

Ch Roumieu 2016 Sauternes in halves on clearance in my local co-op down from £10.50 to £7.87.

Medium weight, apricots, botrytis, shortish finish but nice refinement. Very good for the price. 89

Same here.
edit: actually, looking at deleted items, I did get the email but obviously took the prudent approach on autopilot having bought far too much wine already recently.

 

[Alistair Scott]

In Booths Hambledon classic cuvee down 25% so £22 and change, bringing cheer to the north.

 

[Ben Hunting]

2011 LdH Tondonia Blanco Reserva for £38.99 on the shelves at the Whole Foods on Kensington High Street.

The Waitrose fortified/sweet wine sell off continues, in Norwich at least…

Gonzales Byass Matusalem reduced from £23.99 to £9.99
Gonzales Byass Apostoles reduced from £23.99 to £9.99
De Bortoli Noble One reduced from £19.99 to £6.99
Feiler-Artinger Sylvaner Beerenauslese reduced from £14.99 to £6.99

Feiler-Artinger Sylvaner Beerenauslese reduced from £14.99 to £6.99

Those are the most outrageous bargains. I shall be seriously disappointed if they’re delisting the Matusalem and Apostoles - they were no-brainers in the periodic 25% off deals, when they netted down to about £14 per half-bottle, which was a small fraction of the price for which they could be had anywhere else, including the Spanish internet merchants such as Decantolo and Vinissimus.

Interesting email offer from Dudley-Jones - inc 2015 Carema White Label £25 IB, 2020 Loggerenberg Trust your Gut Chenin £16.23 on the table among others. Worth checking your spam folder for

No connection except as a customer etc.

EDITED TO SAY - feel free to pm me your email address if you'd like it forwarded.

 

[Keith Prothero]

Funnily enough was about to post the same note as you Leon. Just bought a case of the brilliant Trust your Gut chenin. A steal at the price

 

[Keith Prothero]

And the wine was personally delivered by David Dudley- Jones this evening . Cheaper actually than in South Africa. Would have bought the lot on offer but don’t want to be greedy

 

[Will Devize]

Thanks for drawing my attention to the Dudley-Jones sale. Unfortunately the Trust Your Gut had sold out but I managed to console myself with a couple of beautiful Beaujolais at frankly ludicrous prices....

• 2017 Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Morgon Javernières Morgon Côte du Py - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon (02/08/2023)
  Vibrant nose of raspberries and some earthy oregano. The palate is chewy and tannic, even on day two, with exotic flashes of cinnamon and spiced plums. Bags of potential here and might need 2-3 years to really hit its stride. Another superb Beaujolais from 2017 and certainly one for the cellar. A ludicrous amount of Morgon for well under twenty quid. (91 pts.)
• 2016 Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Moulin-à-Vent Les Thorins - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Moulin-à-Vent (01/08/2023)
  This has a lovely opening of cherry cola and pastrami followed by svelte tannins on the finish. Certainly on the sleeker end of the Beaujolais spectrum and perhaps without the stuffing for the long haul, but either way this is a very accomplished and severely delicious wine for now and over the next three years. (90 pts.)

When the standard bottle price is £185 in bond, I'm seriously tempted to take all sixty...

 

[Chris Hambleton]

‘Heavily discounted’ don’t you know?

 

[Paul Anderson]

and in individual gift boxes

 

[Mark N Wright]

No connections etc.

L&W have 2021 Hamilton Russell PN in stock (not from clients) for £25 ib which seems a very good price.

For the record I bought one Money’s tight to mention and all that!

Tondo mixed 3s up on TWS today. Two Gravonia (‘14 and ‘15) and a Rosado (‘11) for £110. I guess that makes the Rosado about £40?

I lost my head and ordered 2 in about 30 seconds flat, quite surprised they've stayed in stock even this long, usually anything decent over there vanishes in minutes
