Must be the middle of the month, because its wine blog time. Only 1 month and 8 days late, good stuff, good stuff.

Plenty happening @ ilikewine HQ. As im sure you can see, we’ve scrapped our membership discount program. We found it to be a touch confusing, and we like to keep things simple here (much like the attempted humour in this blog). It has been replaced by a simple mailing list and a straight forward pricing structure. You can still purchase 1 bottle, but obviously the more you purchase, the better freight rates we can offer. Purchases of 6 bottles or more will attract a $10 flat freight fee to 90% of Aus. Purchases of $300 or more and your freight is free. Simple.

We have also now added a region search which is very effective.

Anyways, enough of the tecchy stuff. The more interesting stuff is this months Wines of the Month. Beppe Pescaja’s Soliter Barbera D’Asti is our red wine of the month. Full and sweet as a well mature fruit. This Barbera expresses the harmony of smoothly running summer days, the scent of a spring rich of fresh red fruits and spices. White WOTM is Zilzie’s Selection 23 Chardonnay. While it is a somewhat odd choice as WOTM, the combination of a good quality product at a fantastic price is a winner. So in these tough economic times, if your looking for a good quality Chardonnay that wont break the bank, this white is for you.

Ill quickly run through this months wine sales. There are fantastic savings on quality boutique wines such as Paul Bettio SSB, Reillys SB, Argyle Heathcote Tempranillo, Cleanskin Orange Shiraz, (Buy a case, get a case of Chardonnay free) Symphonia Albarino, Zilzie Selection 23 Moscato, Barking Mad Riesling, Cascina Adelaide Barbera D’Vigna Preda, Holm Oak Cab Sauv & Feudo Arancio Nero D’Avola. We also have a fantastic deal on Remy Martin VSOP Cognac. Just $59 and you get 2 bonus Remy Martin branded cognac glasses.

Til next time.

Be prepared to try something different!
