Picked up a few for the cellar...actually $28 with a 10% 6 bottle discount!

I think the 375's are the perfect size for me here!

Happy 40th BRO!! Always got to have that birth year DP! When I turned 50, I cracked a bunch of 1969 wines...pretty much all year round! Fun to do so...

Got up to like 80 today! Calls for this wine again...

Pretty consistent showing. A little cleaner with less funk...but totally bright and refreshing. Would love to get a bubbly out of this!

Yes! Also Dungeness crab and Chablis...which I had tonight! Can also substitute Champagne!

Not a big port guy...don’t drink much of it, but have enjoyed a few amazing bottles mainly from Dow that were more on the dry, graphite powder style...07 Dow my all time fav! Just can’t stomach high alc. and too much sweetness. Have local access to some 375’s of the 17 Fonseca...$31. Probably get on...

Special site!

Love 04 Chablis Love Raveneau Love Les Clos...LOVE YOU! Amazing bottle Jeremy!

Ok...so we are talking “RETAIL” here...moving on.......

V18
Thanks. It is a beauty! I like it so much I bought 18 bottles.

Oh that’s what V18 means!

V18

2018 Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Blanc de Noirs Côte de Val Vilaine - France, Champagne (1/15/2021) The best red delicious apple you've ever had! Crisp, cut, energized to the nth bunny...yet such creme and sensual texture...very primal and youthful in a unique raw state for a Champa...

That was per bottle Are you telling me the MAILING LIST price for the 2018 is going to be $2500 per bottle???? No this was from a store in NYC Still not getting it? Michael said his offer was $100 over 'list' price, then said offer was $2600? Is his 'list' price NOT meaning mailing list price?

That was per bottle

Are you telling me the MAILING LIST price for the 2018 is going to be $2500 per bottle????

Offer today on the 18 at just $100 above list... wonder how much of this was going to restaurants who didn’t take the allocation? Would you mind to share where you saw this offer? if it is not privileged or taking anything away from you? thanks William was from morrell for 2600 Confused MC??? [scra...

I'm SOOOO tempted!

Much better day two...the roughness has smoothed, yet still some oak spice sticking out. Such creaminess in this...with ample citrus and crushed rock structure...but not as much 'spearmint' as I would like. 93pts now...with still room to grow. @williamkelley would love to hear your impression on this!

Rodrigo F. wrote: ↑January 15th, 2021, 8:33 am If I only have room to buy half a case, which 6 bottles should I take?

It's too hard not to buy all 3 SC offered at the price...so if it was me...those 3, plus a bottle each of the Occidental, Summa, and Summa OV.

Good to know...we were thinking alike! Just wish I had some older stuff left like you! Although I did have an 06 in April that was just about perfect!

I did it for you! Now you know to wait a few years! Keep drinkin those Batards in the meantime...

2018 Rivers-Marie Pinot Noir Summa Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (1/14/2021) Man...if I ever did crack, I'd kick it for this! These RM Pinot's, and Chard's for that matter, are SO friggin deLISH! I need to buy more on release(note to self) cuz I blow through them in the fi...

2015 Jean-Claude Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (1/14/2021) Whoa this needs air! Started out super coiled and bitter, with a sharp alc. edge to it. Splash decanted a couple times seemed to help calm it down, but look...

I've had these for YEARS...and am really intrigued to try them! The 1985 'Special Selection' is the only bottle in CT, and looks to be from the 1986 Napa Valley Wine Auction. Wondering if anyone has any info, or tasting notes, on it? The 90 Reserve looks to be in great shape as well...and another wi...

Jan Janas wrote: ↑January 12th, 2021, 5:06 pm Agreed, this wine brings the heat! And the label is beautiful too.

I have to be honest...that's the first thing that drew me into this producer! Then I started reading the praise!

Mine came back completely after a month our so. No lingering affects. Had a "run down" cold/sinus infection right after Xmas, and my wife and two daughters caught the Rona unfortunately. I put everyone on antibiotics just in case infection as well. They lost taste/smell only for a week or ...

NV Laherte Frères Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature - France, Champagne (1/12/2021) Disgorged 3/20...explosion of energy right out the gate! Tart lemon pop rocks burst in the mouth, tickling the taste buds, puckering the palate...then a calm rushes in...a pillow soft ginger lemon chiffon mousse...

Don’t know why...but I have a lone bottle of 89? Wonder how it compares to the legend big bro?

Shocked! RIP

I LOVED the saignee 11 Rose’!

Nice! Doesn’t seem as ‘creamy’ as my go... 2019 Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie Vieilles Vignes Briords - France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine (11/16/2020) Well hell-O bowl full of sunshine! Creamy and a little richer than what I'm use to in the Mus...

Nice! Good timing as weinberg just made me buy some 15's! I hope the 15 is as good your 14? These can be a little edgy and cut tight upon release...maybe the riper 15 vintage will work well with this vineyard? LOVE me some Ramonet mint!

I’m out. 6 bottles of 2015 Ramonet Vergers for $98/b. Left a bunch behind and some other decent Ramonet pricing . . . oh well, February. Damn YOU! Or thank you...I had to buy those also! flirtysmile Well...I did buy at the local grocery store all they had 2017/16 Remoissenet Père et Fils Bourgogne ...

Air is your friend...had this recently... 2010 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru (4/8/2020) 2010 PYCM is where it all started for me...fell in love with this producer because of them...have had most, except the big big boys...

Happening to me as well. Also I'm having to log in CONSTANTLY. 2, 3 times a day??? On mac and iPhone.

Why am I drinkin these in winter...SO good! A great wine can be cracked year round...as the urge occurs. The problem is...I 'urge' these wines everyday!

Buzz is already out . I’m holding steady so far though tempted twice. Confess in this thread when your holdout breaks and you succumb to your first 2021 purchase. Nope...I'm back in! Turned out to be NV Delamotte instead of the advertised 2008...order cancelled! We don't count local grocery store s...

Also see the 2014 Château Bouscassé Madiran for $15.

Drank the remainder of the 18 after using it for beef burgundy/cotes du rhone...always purple fruited, primary and tarted in it's youth...but the 5+ hrs of air did bring out more black pepper, smoked meat, bramble, violet florals...very racy and silky. Such a go to CdR that I can grab at the local g...

Loved these back in the 90’s...rich, buttered, and oaked to the brim! A red mans white! Didn’t age well at all...so surprised at the 95! The Alluvium Blancs were more fun!

Is this wine that good? I've been passing up cases of this(current vintage maybe 2014?) at Costco for closeout $9???

I love Dornfelder. And yes, you will find a lot of cheap "plonk" still produced with the Dornfelder grape out of Germany, but it's also being produced much more seriously than in the past. I've had some lovely versions that were produced with whole berry fermentation and tank fermented th...

Been drinking the 1994 recently...still wonderful, yet one bottle was a leaker and showed more oxed.

This is getting REALLY expensive being home sick, and watching A Year in Champagne again... Found some 08 Delamotte for $59(bought all they had left) and added some Pierre Peters Brut Cuvee Rsv to fill a case for free shipping, and no tax! 4-5 cases of bubbles in the last couple weeks! champagne.gi...

Good work team! Yeah...I wasn't thinking this was anything but cheap, probably sweet, plonk. But the label is so pretty! I think i'll just keep it for that!
