Yeah I quite agree on how ranging it really opens one’s eyes on what can be the difference. Here was a great example in that regard Domaine Perdiguier Vertical case
I didn’t bite on this one (which is rare for me). Just too much wine that needs drinking now!
Inspired by a fairly recent German collaboration (Klaus Peter Keller & Howard Ripley), I’d love to see a ‘Rising Stars of xxx’ case, presenting a selection of wines made by relatively unknown winemakers.
I would imagine that the TWS buyers have sufficient relationships with established winemakers (like KPK) across the major wine-buying regions who would be able to come up with a pretty sweet shortlist.
I would also hope that given the relative anonymity of the winemakers, the value for members purchasing the case would be excellent too. Any big successes could then be considered for a more regular purchasing arrangement. Win win?

I wonder who this ‘Wine Specialist / Wine Advisor’ is?
Whoever it is, they’ve charged an additional £1.20 for their services.
How about a ‘Member’ curated case every quarter? @Inbar and @Kidman have already made suggestions? We could get their suggestions along with their reasons and their tasting notes. Perhaps if it could include 4 red, 4 red and 4 others (fizz, rose, sherry) and then those of us who like to pick can choose 6 bottles from the set (e.g. red plus sherry)
With an upcoming World Cup, something themed on some of the countries that have qualified might have some legs?
aka 8 red 
This is a great idea, although not for those of us who like Italian wine 
Maybe an alternative case of those who didn’t qualify as well
That’s my predictive text - doesn’t let me buy white…
Yes!!! Your suggestions are helping me build my own version of this right now, thank you!
Didn’t TWS do a promotion like this in an offer 3-4 years ago? The Curiosity Shop or something similar?
Yes, sounds like a brilliant idea to me - this way there’s more chances to appeal to different tastes and yet it’s fully created by members and to members 
I have many years experience of “curating” cases of wine, and might be prepared to make them public, especially if I get a £1 commission on each case sold.
The Curiosity Shop was the first TWSTaste that I attended on the community just after I joined. It was a great introduction to outside my comfort zone.

A real mixed bag… Not sure anyone else would buy this given the disparity in bottle pricings but I would 
Sounds perfect to me. Would drink that lot in a heartbeat (well, a weekend anyway)
It could get messy 
The conversation that started this thread (which was fun, as this thread has semi-resurrected) about what our mixed cases would be was started by the idea of getting “wine people” and celebs to do their favourite mixed cases. A sort of extension to the “desert island wines” concept really.
One of the society’s main strengths is its fantastic buying team. Curated cases, with wines selected by our buyers, are always a good idea.
Take the example of Roberson, who was quick to release a mixed case to celebrate their (single) Decanter award.
“In celebration of Roberson Wine’s win, we are offering The Ultimate California Case (6x75cl) – a case to give you a taste of just how good this region can be – and how fascinatingly varied. We hope you take the same pleasure from it that we took in meeting and tasting these wines with our incredible producers – who really should take all the credit for this award.”
The society won many awards at the same competition, and we are missing an opportunity here, to release mixed cases selected by the buyers of the respective categories / regions.
