Did anybody get the Wine Library email about this?
It looks like Gary V. is setting up a site to compete with WTSO!
They will sell a different wine every day..... sound familiar.

It goes live on October 6th. Hmmmm. [berserker.gif]

The midnight thing makes it useless for me. I'll be in bed when the email comes out. People on the west coast will get it at 9:00. If the deal is that good, the wine will be gone by the time I see it in the morning.

I took the bait. The last bottle of Argiano I bought was $88!!

Even a light vintage with a 90 rating is worth twenty bucks!

I like it so far.

Seems like very positive feedback here so far, not so much on the "other board". Curious about if there are any anti-opinions over here.

Great price on a very over priced wine.

Ian,

Have you tasted 2003 Solengo?

I lost a lot respect for Argiano when they bottled the AWFUL 2002 Solengo.

I did, and I think it's typical of the house, and vintage for that matter. Big a** wine for sure, not for the faint of heart.

As with WTSO, we never know how much "SOLD OUT" means that they sold. However, I am sure it was a decent quantity, unlike WTSO.

Wow, killer price on that Barolo. I can only hope for my wallet's sake that this isn't becoming Cinderella Vino Italiano...

Out of curiosity, I assume these products are distributor closeout items? Not a negative in any way, just wondering [tease.gif]
