Given times are tight at the moment, we're putting extra effort into the value side of the equation, whilst, as always striving to offer the best wines possible. So, here's a $180 baker's doz we think comfortably passes the Pub Test.

Inside, you’ll find:

3 bottles of a 94-point Barossa Cab

3 bottles of a double gold-winning Padthaway blend

3 bottles of Cape Jaffa’s stunning 2021 Shiraz Cab

3 bottles of Showblock’s powerhouse 95-point Cab Shiraz

The 13th? Oh, that's just a bottle of Martin’s $150 a bottle 97-point McLaren Vale Shiraz—a super-premium stunner and longtime best-seller.

Great wine, serious value. Hard to go wrong with this one.

A premium alternatives pack which we think is a bit of a no-brainer. We kick off with the following four Aussie alternatives. After Five's 5 trophy winning Barossa Montepulciano, which is as good a Monte we have ever seen. From Kilikanoon, their stunning, $96, 96 point, flagship Grenache. Artis brings us a magnificently perfumed Nero and Songlines, an old vine, 100% whole bunch Barossa Grenache. Then we have a Riserva Chianti from the low yielding and fabulous 2020 vintage, and a densely powerful Rioja, made by one of just 2 producers who are more than a century old. These are all excellent and we've no doubt you'll have as much fun with them as we do..

Looking for the perfect wine gift for a rusted on red lover? You know, the kind who always turns up with the good stuff and doesn't mind cellaring a wine until it is cherry ripe? Might even turn up to a barbie with a decanter? Well here's a gift for them. The wines are drinkable now (especially if the decanter is handy) but will also both cellar for up to 10 year plus. This twin pack contains the Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz 2021 - a 96 point, $250 a bottle stunner packed with black fruited finery, and cedar with lovely blue fruit aromatics too, along with the Manser Block 4 Shiraz 2022 - a storied Adelaide Hills vineyard that regularly produces concentrated wines laden with spice and oozing complexity. These will all come presented in one of our luxe premium twin gift boxes and the asking price of $120 includes freight! Learn More

The Noble Grape is a bit on the nose at the moment.

Perceived by some as being bony, hard of tannins and shy of revealing fruit, Cabernets are long way from their heyday of 20 years ago, when they outsold Shiraz. These days, the willingness to cellar, always Cabernet friend isn't really there, and 'good to go right now' wines are in ascendancy.

BUUUUUT ... we love it dearly and know that with the right fruit and the right gifted winemaker, assertively angular tannins and bony acidity make way for ethereal perfumes, generously jubey fruit and a massive smile on the head of whoever is drinking them. So here's a 'no bones' and 100% beautiful baker's doz of Cabernet for your consideration.

2 stunners from Kilikanoon lead the way and Briar Ridge's complex, Halliday 95 pointer slides in effortlessly behind. Ditto, Dandelion's 96 point Coonawarra beauty, Longview's Trophy winning stunner and Dowie Doole's tiny production, 96 point work of genius. These really are all magical- just double decant an hour or so before drinking!

Oh, the 13th bottle!?

Cab is well known for ageing beautifully, so we've scrounged around and found a small quantity of Zonte's Blackberry Patch Cab from 2017. It's drinking beautifully and we doff our Cab to it!
