Yes love this wine easy buy!

Well it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, local Costco raised the price of 08 Dom $10 per bottle

Man that was quick, thanks so much Chris!

Woodland Hills Costco

16 Double Diamond $39.97
2010 Heitz Martha $169 Grabbed a couple.

Due to space limitations i'd prefer they hold until the next vintage is released, what are my chances?

So many choices so little time, I do love the heritage wines.

Thanks for the note Mark! I picked up a couple of bottles, makes me think I should have bought more.

Great note Robert! After that 95 we opened and your professed love of Sociando I am convinced that your palate is solid [snort.gif] Now to find all the older bottles I can get my paws on. Don’t let Kenny-Boy speak badly about me! I own him on the bike. Kenny would never say anything bad about anyon...

Shoot Gary Vanerchuck an email I believe he used to do this to help sell his wine.

Got a few of my coworkers in on the action too.

You have to split that with coworkers?! I'm sorry to hear that

Chris speaks the truth! And I do love me some Tempier.

That's great!

As always, a nice note and beautiful photo. Also got me thinking that maybe there is no need to drink all my Cotat and Boulay on the youngish side. Fixed that for you. [wink.gif] Cotat and Boulay's wines definitely need age. I have recently opened Boulay from 2007 and 2010 and neither was ready. Bu...

Not surprised by the note more impressed by your patience in keeping these delicious bottles around for so long! Great note Buzz.

Hmmm I skipped last years offer will I be dropped from the list?

2014 Evangelo man this is the most wide open Evangelo from Bedrock I have ever had, really singing with many years to go I think? Delicious!

Does my friend in Santa Barbara need to have a helicopter on hand to make this work

come on somebody had to say it! Good luck!

Reporting back on some mysteries... Pinot Noir Two Vintage Mystery Sonoma: Acacia Russian River Valley '14 and '16 2009 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Mystery: Corinthian (I've found next to nothing on this, one vivino review claims this was made at Opus One) 2015 Mystery Single Vineyard Pinot Noir...

Well that was fun for the 20 seconds it took me to click through and order...now the wait

Damn looks like Santa missed my house.

Can anyone get me on the list?

Sure I'll trade you for a helicopter

Have bought a lot from Crush over the years, my last shipment in March I believe they charged me over $100 to ship a case to California, now I don't mind paying for shipping but that was a bit much for me. YMMV

Michel Arnould & Fils Champagne Grand Cru Extra Brut my brother in law left a bottle at our house the other night. It is a K&L direct import? A little astringent on the pop and pour but after an hour of air this is pretty nice! under 3 grams dosage and BRIGHT acidity.

Love them and often wonder why I don't buy more?? Thanks for the note. I should buy a half case of their Chardonnay every year. Always great, excellent QPR. Agreed the Chards are also really nice imho, just bought a handful of the 17 pinots from Wine Library and at $29.99 plus free shipping yes mor...

I fought a good battle for a while and lost so welcome to the club

Has anyone tried the 2013 and 2014 vintages of these wines ? There's only a couple of notes on CellerTracker ... I opened a 13 last New Years eve at a friends house and imho it was hard as nails, not open for business so no notes from me. No excuses I knew the risks but curiosity you know [wow.gif]...

I'm sorry I didn't post this earlier but the Osetra is absolutely delicious! I didn't try the others? I will send money for another right away

My wallet (and wife) would support a boycott.

Just sayin.

Of what California or Rhys

Let's not go down the road of saying California water policies are too strict or I'm not buying their wine anymore before we really know what happened. It's been done to death here.

2017 Domaine François Cotat Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu because of some damn 3 year old thread that I was reading here [cheers.gif] I would have added that one myself, Scott, but the store wasn't open in time for me to raid it before I had to get up to Jay Hack's :) I would love to share with you ...

RIP Allen when you poked the bears they came out in force

Berserker HOF

I cooked the first of the "short loin tail" that they threw in with my last shipment... I was blown away by this beef. As tender as any filet and among the most beefy, dry-aged flavor pieces of beef I've ever had. Will be getting more of this. Anyone else tried this cut? It's my favorite steak, and...

I splurged. The Ossetra is shining. Huge eggs pale gold in color, bursting with nuttiness and fresh ocean breeze perception. Similar caviar from Petrossian or D&D would be about 4 to 6 times as much. Great deal Charlie, and thanks! The hybrid was also very nice. Not as fine, but rich, and full flav...

Popped one of these tonight and boy is it good! A mouthful of juicy strawberry and hints of watermelon. Nice acid and some depth, finish goes on and on. Nice wine!

Thanks Elliot!

I buy until I see my wife's lips disappear!

Sounds like it's time for a "Philip on tour" trip ala Mike Grammar! Come on down we will open plenty of bottles for you

That being said I hope everything works out for the best.

WTF

I always liked Redd Fox so in tribute maybe I will put in for CHAMPPL.

It's hot out here today so looking through the cellar I found this...Huré Frères NV Champagne Brut Reserve L'Invitation, not sure where I bought it but it's nice. Tastes like a pretty high dosage but a really nice beam of acidity cuts right through it. Ginger brioche minerals and some baked apple re...

Yeah Gonon damn! Guess I will drink one tonight that I paid $39 for in the not so distant past

Curious what the format of "blind" is. Flights, or simply mixed up and tasted at will?

And with a matching pair of bottles, same vintage for New/Old? Just don't want 2018 Barefoot Pinot Noir to stick out much

Is it at your house Bruce or the restaurant?

Not just you??

Congrats! '73 is my favorite DP vintage from the 1970's. Thanks Ray! I've only had it once and it was great. Fingers crossed. The bottle looks great. So our bottle of '73 Dom turned out to be good, not outstanding. Probably opened up at about a B and got to B+ level ultimately. Still some fizz left...

2013 Marguet Champagne Grand Cru Bouzy with fried chicken and some watermelon. 77% Pinot noir 23% Chardonnay disgorged May 2018. Never been a big fan of zero dosage but this wine is just fantastic.

I’ve always been a fan of Cristal, but 09 was the first that made me reach for my wallet. 08 made me empty it.

Truer words were never spoken! Well Imho anyways.
