Plenty on the shelves at the Henley Tesco - I must admit my initial impression on half a glass last night was that this was VERY young and raw, though I will reserve judgement until tonight/tomorrow to give it time to air.

Half price offer runs until 22.11.11, at least at Henley

I wish we had Tesco. My local QFC only gives a 10% discount if you buy 6 and 15% if you buy 12 or more. I think that applies all the time, though.

Thanks RAYC - latest purchase is 12 Dow's Master Blend.

QFC? 15% is a good discount.

Quality Food Centers, which are now part of the Kroger empire.

15% sounds like a good discount, but at QFC you're starting 5-10% above average. They used to be worth the extra cost, but have gone downhill (IMO) since Kroger bought them.

G70 of immaculate stock as a birthday present from work colleagues.

A lovely suprise, as i must admit, i opened up the wrapping with the expectation of half price Dow 2006lbv from Tesco...

Must remember to pull a couple of good drinkers out for this year's xmas party....

6 bottles of Sainsbury Taste the Difference 2003 VP (bottled by SFE) @ £13.12 each
6 bottles of Graham's Malvedos 1999 @ £15 each.

Sainsbury currently have both of the above on special offer with an additional 25% off for buying 6 or more bottles. They have lots of other styles that are on similarly attractive offers. Go now!!!!

I followed my own advice and bought the same again today, plus some more for someone else.

They also have Graham Crusted, bottled 2003, reduced to £13 per bottle with a further reduction of 25% if you buy 6 or more. I resisted as I was more interested in the VPs.

The Cruz LBV 2004 on the same shelf didn't look like great value in this company at £14 per bottle :?

Warre's 2006 LBV at £6.99 in Morrisons. Rather heavy and unsubtle on initial drinking but after the first couple of glasses it was better. Uncertain whether that was its contact with air or my contact with port.
