Bargain on 2001 Aussies

[wondersofwine]

I'm cheering a bargain deal on a wine I haven't yet tasted (but I loved the previous
vintage and the reports on 2001 in Australia are enthusiastic). Carolina Wine Company is offering a pre-arrival price (due next month) of $12.99 a bottle on Marquis Philips Shiraz
and on Sarah's Blend. I think I prefered Sarah's Blend last year but it was sold out before I asked to purchase so I only had a tasting at the shop. Didn't compare it side-to-side with the shiraz. I've put in an order for eight bottles of the Sarah's Blend and four bottles of the shiraz.
