There are quite a few duplicates / misnamings of d'Arenberg wines. Here are my suggested corrections:

1) The Ironstone Pressings - this shows up as "Grenache Iron Stone Pressings", "Grenache The Ironstone Pressings", "Iron Stone Pressings", "Ironstone", and "The Ironstone Pressings". This wine is a a Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre blend, so I think the correct record to consolidate to would be "The Ironstone Pressings", variety "Red Rhone Blend", subregion "Fleurieu", and appellation "McLaren Vale".
2) The Nostalgia Rare Tawny - this appears as "Nostalgia 12 Year Old Tawny Port" and "Nostalgia Rare Tawny Port". The d'Arenberg website calls its it "The Nostalgia Rare Tawny".
3) d'Arry's Original - this appears as "d'Arry's Original" and as "Shiraz/Grenache McLaren Vale"... the uploaded labels for the latter make it clear that it's actually d'Arry's Original.
4) The Daddy Long Legs Extremely Rare - this appears as "The Daddy Long Legs Extremely Rare Tawny" and "The Daddy Longlegs Extremely Rare". The d'Arenberg website calls its it "The Daddy Long Legs Extremely Rare".
5) The Sticks and Stones - This appears as both "Sticks and Stones" and "The Sticks and Stones"... should be consolidated to the latter.
6) The Stump Jump - right now, but red and white versions of this blend are simply referred to as "The Stump Jump". Per the d'Arenberg website, they should be "The Stump Jump Red" and "The Stump Jump White" respectively.
7) Viognier The Last Ditch - this appears as "Viognier The Last Ditch" and "The Last Ditch Last Ditch". Per the d'Arenberg website, it should be "Viognier The Last Ditch", and as its a multi-appellation blend, it should be region "South Australia", no subregion or appellation.
8) The Hermit Crab - like the Viognier, this is a multi-appellation blend, so should be region "South Australia", no subregion or appellation.
9) Chardonnay The Olive Grove - like the Viognier, this is a multi-appellation blend, so should be region "South Australia", no subregion or appellation.
10) The Love Grass - per the d'Arenburg website, this should be subregion "Fleurieu", and appellation "McLaren Vale".
11) The Twentyeight Road - appears as "Mourvedre The Twentyeight Road" and "The Twentyeight Road"... should be consolidated to "The Twentyeight Road".
12) The Vintage Fortified Shiraz - this appears as "Vintage Declared Shiraz Port" on CT, but the d'Arenberg website calls it "The Vintage Fortified Shiraz". May want to consider a name change.

Please have a look and let me know what you think... thanks!

I never got around to submitting all the d'Arenberg corrections that I previously posted on the forum until today. Suffice to say, d'Arenberg was pretty messy, especially their "The Ironstone Pressings" GSM, which is pretty widely held. Anyway, this should get things somewhat cleaned up. There are still a number of incompletely-entered "Shiraz Blends" and "Shiraz" with no name designations, but I guess we'll just have to live with those, as there are more than one possible different designation for each...

Cheers,

Francis
