810

Must've changed price in the last hour or so as I checked it this morning and it was $18.75/6 bottles. Now $4.75/6 bottles. Even sweeter with 2000 bonus points for $50 spend.

UPDATE: Seems to have been removed from the site but there is still a way to order, see this comment

    I bought fronm Liquorland yesterday. Nice wine, esp for the price.
    Also Curious Kiwi Pinot Noir (which I like) for $4.75, but no stock in NSW so delivery only.

    • Which is better? I actually noticed that too.

      I found this actually has a rating 92/100.

      • I actually prefer the Curious Kiwi to the Chalkboard, now I have opened a bottle of the CB 2017 vintage. Some Curious Kiwi Pinots were from Nelson previously vintages, not "Marlborough", which to me were even better. But still OK esp at $5.
        Marlborough is a pretty generic term to me and Central Otago is the best region for Pinots, taken over from Martinborough.
        I recall the previous vintage of Chalkboard (2016?) was better.

    • Thanks for the reco!

      I picked one of the Chalkboard and one of the Curious Kiwi's, and picked up a Punter's Corner Cab Sauv ($12 @ 50% off) because I was in need of a half-decent cab sauv for a dinner with friends.

  • Anyone else struggling to get the $4.75 price?

  • add 6 bottles still showing $5/6 bottles

    ordered 12 bottles anyway :P

  • Like above posters I wasn't able to trigger the $4.75/6, but great deal nonetheless.

    CHALKBOARD? doesn't really evoke good feelings?

    • +1

      Oh, run your fingernails down it to really feel it😄

  • Thanks, ordered a dozen from Burwood East 1st choice…..going by the reviews, hoping that it’s good. For $5 bucks, shouldn’t complain and don’t forget Cashrewards….got $1.64 back.

    If anyone can get that one - I'd recommend for the price

    Ordered 10 to get the 2k points.

    Liquorland order got cancelled

    Ordered 12 because wine.

  • Sipping on some meh Pinot ATM, what would you guys rate this?

    • Probably not, it's a cheap Pinot produced for cellar masters/liquor land - not a winery own label.
      But at $5 it is 60% off that usual cheap price, so not much to risk.

    For a Pinot, it's probably really bad.

    You really need to spend $30+ for anything decent.

    But for $5? I'm sure it's alright 😂

    I definitely am not getting 6+ bottle discount, however Flybuys are worth $10. It's basically 10 bottles for $40.

    • I've love to know what makes a good pinot or a good merlot? (and start appreciating them)

      I grew up with an old man and others who only took a shiraz (or cab sauv) seriously, and dismissed others. Now I just always go for a shiraz because I know I'll love it…

      • Merlots are great, it's a sweeter grape!

        You need to basically taste more, then you'll learn what you enjoy. Different regions appeal to different people, not just different grapes.

    • Lol @ $30 for anything decent!?
      You know wine pricing is mostly bullshit right?

  • Bought 12, ready to collect.
    Cashback & 2000pts are a nice bonus.

    48 bottles left at Bentley WA

    • Cheers bro just ordered 12 bottles

  • Just friggin disappeared from my cart during checkout. FML

  • Can you activate the 2000 flybuy points a second time?

      You can only get the 2000 points for one transaction per Fly Buys account as per the terms and conditions

      Looks good. Gee. Wine prices are falling. China effect?

    • Thanks - this one was changing between not found and available but got there

  • Ordered 10 bottles for the Flybuys points, $7 for delivery isn’t too bad. Haven’t had a pinot noir for ages. Thanks OP!

  • Bought 10 thanks op.
    Vintage cellars have it for $19
    with this review - hopefully it matches up to that
    'Made by Peregrine winery, this moderately priced offering has classical pinot aromas of cherry, spice and undergrowth, followed by a lightish but intense palate of supple fruit, elegant structure and zippy acidity. Score 92/100'
    - Age, Melbourne, Epicure, by Ralph Kyte-Powell.

    • Read that review. Hrrmmph - $19 is not a moderate price for me. But $5 is magic!

    I've tasted it with dinner, am not that much of a fan but will go great for guests I don't like that much! e.g in-laws

    Message to me: we're out of stock of the Chalkboard Central Otago Pinot Noir 750mL. Please let us know if you would like to; accept a substitution for this item - McGuigan The Borders Pinot Noir 750mL.

    Should I take up this offer?

    • Dan's sells it for $10, 3.7 rating online.

      • This replacement Pinot noir is from NSW. I thought Pinots were better in cool climate? But I'm certainly no expert.

        • It has food ratings, esp for the price.

          Yeah, definitely NZ would be better, Tasmania, Vic aka Yarra Valley etc

  • Thanks OP just picked up 12 Chalkboard and 12 Curious Kiwi Pinots

  • Thanks for the post- led to a lot more wine to get the free shipping and restock. Whoops!

  • Seems to be out of stock now when I click the link

    Seems to be removed from the site (unless it's just me) but if you're still desperate to order, you can try the following (I tried it for shits and giggles and I was able to complete an order for a single bottle with PayPal payment. I will let you know how it goes haha):

    1. Open Firefox, navigate to https://www.firstchoiceliquor.com.au/
    2. Open dev tools (ctrl+shift+i) and select the 'Network' tab
    3. Clear everything (the trash icon in the top left)
    4. Add something to cart
    5. Look for the 'items' file, the URL will look similar to this: https://www.firstchoiceliquor.com.au/api/order/fc/carts/%7B8…
    6. Right-click and select 'Edit and Resend'
    7. Change the URL to 'https://www.firstchoiceliquor.com.au/api/order/fc/carts/%7B8d55ec45-5a8f-4bd4-9c8d-a7bb8cd1224b%7D/items'
    8. In the 'Request Body' section, change the productId to '7410485'
    9. Click 'Send' and notice you have a $5 item in your cart called "Loading info…" lol (may need to refresh page)
    10. Remove the original item you added in step 4.
    11. Complete checkout as normal.

    Note: nothing illegal or inappropriate here as far as I'm aware, I was only able to obtain all those IDs as I had a previous session with the bottle already in my cart.

    • Just got the ready to collect notice :D

  • Just had my order cancelled because "We are unable to fulfill your order at this time and do not have a suitable replacement" :(

  • Canceled :(

    • Cancelled order in Riverton WA. Got it well early with the deal as well :(

      • Same here, Bentleigh, Vic

    Walked into Liquorland in Marion SA today and they had a dozen or so @ $5 each. I only grabbed 6 so still a few left.

  • picked my order up no problems, they still had them on the shelf as well at $12 a bottle.
    my cousin had his order cancelled

  • This is quite a rough pinot. Not sure how you guys manage to drink it.

    • Waste not, want not….

    • With my mouth usually :)

    • I don't expect much for $5, but I'll probably give it to mates to drink 😂😂😂

    • The first mouthful is an absolute shocker. Let it air a bit, usually best done by drinking something else (about half a dozen G&Ts will do the trick) while it sits in a decanter (which should not be necessary for a 4 year old pinot, but here were are).

      It's actually alright then.

      Actually, I just let it air in the glass for half an hour and it improved. Second glass tasted god awful again but by the end of that glass I wanted more. Might be just shit wine with something addictive in there?

      • 😂😂😂

        100% agree with this, same experience
