It used to be two years; I hadn't noticed any three-year instructions.<br /><br />This Shiraz can likely be stored for three years, but I don't suppose there'd be much benefit in that. It's definitely a early-drinking wine and won't evolve much in the bottle.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Jim Cahill, CSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132809815311085682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-89360530897477657982011-03-26T07:19:41.010-07:002011-03-26T07:19:41.010-07:00It is on sale, 50% off now.

Is this the reason for 50% sale? The label reads" Enjoy now until 3 years after purchase". A bargain wine for sure.Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-30718101942038169932010-12-03T11:19:19.402-08:002010-12-03T11:19:19.402-08:00It was on a sale that ended Nov. 16th, $10.

I missed it, but every time I stop by FE I take a look at the wine section to check if they put it back on sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-77694161450182539572010-11-19T08:23:36.775-08:002010-11-19T08:23:36.775-08:00We will definitely include the Handmade in the new...We will definitely include the Handmade in the newsletter if it goes on sale!<br /><br />I've still got a few on-sale bottles on hand.Jim Cahill, CSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132809815311085682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-14825413904407309872010-11-18T13:42:03.910-08:002010-11-18T13:42:03.910-08:00One of my neighborhood FE closed a couple of weeks...One of my neighborhood FE closed a couple of weeks ago and they had all wines 50% off. I picked up quite a few bottles. Unfortunately I picked up only a bottle of this shiraz. I absolutely love it and I kick myself for not cleaning up the whole inventory. If I'll find it on sale I will build a nice inventory. I am a pinot noir type of person, but I could drink this shiraz every single day. Don't ask me to describe its flavor, nuances, etc. I just like it a lot. I subscribed to wines on sale alert only for this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-45344222607032227942010-01-31T11:37:09.871-08:002010-01-31T11:37:09.871-08:00Thanks!

It seems that F&E is dropping Yalumba - I found both the Y Series Viognier and the Shiraz at crazy discount prices recently. I haven't seen either on their shelves since.Jim Cahill, CSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132809815311085682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261987368332485198.post-66943933241915364072010-01-27T10:33:36.076-08:002010-01-27T10:33:36.076-08:00I like the Yalumba Shiraz better...I like the Yalumba Shiraz better...The Negociants USA ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010979485779148049noreply@blogger.com
