RIP. More than anyone else in the world, Burt Williams is responsible for my love of wine.

Have my FedEx wine shipments ALL held at Walgreen's. Solves a number of problems: 1) nobody at home to sign and even though the drivers know me, they wont leave them the alcohol deliveries, 2) if my wife does not see it delivered to the house, did i really buy it and 3) Walgreen's open and accessibl...

I have access to a couple. PM.

Taking a trip next June for to celebrate my wife’s 50th to Italy: 4 nights Rome, 4 nights Florence, & 3 nights Venice. “Kids” (16 & 19) along for the ride…they both drink wine and have been thoroughly snobbified on Cali wines by their father. I know little about Italy and even less about Italian win...

An unexpected $186 Wednesday post lunch expense.

Looking for 3 (or 4) tickets to Dallas @ Chicago on 12/5. Wine (mostly Cali) or bourbon (Pappy, BT Antique, etc) to trade. PM me.

Cant say enough good things bout this place if you like Indian food: Trishna. Local, regional dishes I have never heard of or seen before. Each one better than the next and paired with regional cocktails. https://www.trishnalondon.com/ Also, I found an hour at Hedonism Fine Wines to be as good as an...

I am class of 2012 as well. Got my email to expect an offer next week.

Anyone know when the current mailing list offer expires? Is there generally a follow up offer for those moved up from the wait list? Cheers! I thought it ended this past Monday. If you were moving up, I think you would have received an email by now, but maybe that has changed. I checked on my own s...

I have them all from the first 3 years but have never had them. Did not like the Cayuse wines that I have had. I would liquidate my 21 bottles at cost (+shipping)...all in OWC. PM me if interested.

WTF? Where did that come from? $195. Talk amongst yourselves.

I’ll stick with MacDonald.

I called KB yesterday. Both KB and Cirq will be producing wines from both vineyards this year and for at least a couple into the future. The KB price will be $120.

Anybody willing to part with any either loose or as the 3-pack (2 x Roussanne + 1 x Grenache)?

Bump.

I know someone with a collection of Horsepower '11-'13, all wines, all OWC. 21 bottles. New Jersey. Prefers a handoff. PM offers or for more details.

Thx for the suggestion. I will check it out. Currently booked at Eastchester Fish Gourmet. $25 corkage which I can certainly live with.

Scarsdale/Westchester NY Need a good BYO spot for this Saturday night 2/9/19.

Bryan, is there any way to add ground beef to a BD order?

Open as of now for me. Passing due to forced cutbacks although I love the wines. That said, I find the new 12 bottle minimum, I though it used to be 4 but maybe 6, to be ridiculous. If I was buying like I traditionally did, I would not have bought 12. Happy to pass mine along at cost to anyone who w...

I visited Somek in June and had a wonderful visit and tasting. Good people. Good wines. Very nice area. We happened by chance to get a personal tasting earlier that morning at Margalit. Margalit is a top notch, non-Kosher, boutique winery. Dr. Margalit personally opened the facility to meet myself, ...

Ditto on everything positive said about Don and these stems. Anyone interested in a couple of dozen Reidels of differing varieties that now sit around my house gathering dust?

I have a CellarPro 1800 and am very happy with it. I convinced a friend to go with a 4200 and he is very happy with it. The only regrets either of us have is not getting the remote display/control unit. I think we could still do it but neither of us want to spend the money now. If my 1800 dies I wi...

Count me in the group who loved most of his WS pinots. I never tried the Three Sticks but I did take a flyer on 3 bottles of his new bottling last year. Quite honestly, I am shocked there is virtually nothing on CT about his new "name label" wines. Does anyone know anything? Debating on opening one ...

Any idea what went wrong with the Breezeaire? Currently refurbishing a 10 year old winemate and I'm curious as to the kind of things that go wrong with these devices. ??? I already have almost $300 into the service calls and assessments. The unit is at a major, local commercial refrigeration servic...

Been using Breezeaire for the last ~13 years. Unit #1 lasted 10+, Unit #2 (a WKE4000) didn't make it 3. Looking for suggestions on alternatives. A first glance, I like the looks of the CellarPro 4200VSi based on size (almost identical to existing through the wall unit), controls, built in option for...

Steve... just placed an order, but the promo code took $10 off my total order, not $10 on each bottle of cab. Just FYI. Thanks. I noticed that. If you can believe it, I've tried to get my parent LLC to allow "per bottle" discounts for 5 years and they won't do it. I'll take care of it. Sorry about ...

CellarTracker notes on the 2011 Napa cab (only one note on the Coombsville Reserve unfortunately): https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=1743564&searchId=4F0E73C0%23selected%253DW1743564_1_Kf4842048aba1af7f6ab868663000044f Steve, I built a cart and tried the code for a case purchase of the C...

That works!

Just tried to put a cart together using the code FUTURES to no avail. Returned the following message: “This code did not match any active gift card or discount. Was it entered correctly?”

Gone.

Just cant swing it at this time. I have 1 bottle of each (Tempest, Falstaff, Absurd) plus 9 Bard. PM if interested.

Appears to be spoken for.

This is coming in October. Let me know if you are interested in my allocation at cost.

No experience with that product but the bulk of my cellar’s racking is IKEA Ivar. Love that I can have a mix of bottle racks and flat adjustable shelves.

2 week check clearing - that is a new record.

In case he is keeping tabs, you can put me down for 6 cases Jim.

Mailer arrived in PA today.

Flying out tonight - suggestions?

PM me anyone with some of the 1970's from this discussion. Need a couple to celebrate my 50th in 2 years. I have a '70 port but would like to find a couple bottles of CA cab to go with.

Mine arrived in PA today. No complaints.

Where are you and who is your local? I'm a 1970 birthday and I picked up a 70 Fonseca's that I came accross but I now have concerns about its storage, etc. Would not mind having a backup for my 50th. I have an birthday dinner coming up for a friend who is turning 48 this year. I'm thinking I'll brin...

Local wine shop has 1 bottle of Noah’s mill at $50. It has great reviews online, but my buddy who’s opinion I trust said its a hard pass at $50, stating ER10, Four roses single barrel and EJ single barrel is much better value. Thoughts? I disagree. One of my personal favorites. In my option, I woul...

This post is yet another reminder of all of the really good WS that I drank through when it was the only thing in my cellar and I kick myself every time you post something like this. '94 Allen...all time fave. If my memory serves, Gary Farrell made some great Allen in '94 too.

Was just there. Had one night free for dinner. Went for Indian @ Trishna. Amazing and dishes that I have never seen in any other Indian restaurant that I have been to.

This was part of my post in the travel forum but I though I would mention it here as well. I was in London for a long weekend. Ate lunch at Burger & Lobster (the one inside of Harvey Nichols) and they were selling shots of Pappy 15 for ~30 bucks (21 GBP). They had a full unopened bottle that the bar...

A quick follow-up. My dinner for 2 became a dinner for 4 when another couple, great friends of ours, decided to come to London for the same event we were attending. As such, we passed on romantic and went with Indian. The restaurant was called Trishna. AMAZING. They claim to offer very unique and re...

Gone.
