Case of 2018 Goodfellow Richard’s Cuvée Chardonnay.

Just emailed you for a case of the 2018 Richard’s Cuvée. Drinking a 2016 Durant right now, which is fantastic. Keep up the good work!

2016 Goodfellow Family Cellars Chardonnay Richard's Cuvee Whistling Ridge Vineyard - my wife opened this the night before, but I wasn't drinking anything. Tried a glass the second day out of the fridge - freakin' phenomenal. Love, love, love this wine.

Oh yeah!

First post in 7 days, wow!

This post inspired me to pick up some 2016. I bought 6 bottles online at Luekens for $44.99 a bottle, $18 flat rate shipping.

Looks like they're out of the 2016 750ml if that influences your decision. I haven't tried either, but I'd go for the 2016.

One of the truly great and under appreciated chardonnays.

2015 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Sodini Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (3/16/2020) Yummmm...so good! A little mustiness on the nose, good prominent fruit, a little tang, and a long finish. And it's got a silky quality to it which goes down so easy. Should hold, but n...

I'm drinking it right now: 2010 Forman Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a wow wine. The last time that I had it a couple of years ago there was a strong cedar component that I found to be distracting. No longer. This has integrated and is at the beginning of what I'm sure will be a long and graceful evo...

Tim, there were comments elsewhere about 2015 being a hit and miss vintage, with some high alcohol hot wines. Did you run across any of these in your tastings?

I think many burg lovers are tough scorers because they tend to be more experienced drinkers. They’ve tried all the other wines (started on cabs, etc.) before the road led them to Burgundy. But I agree with the OP’s observation - lots of expensive red burgundy out there with low ninety scores.

No soup for me. Was told last year I would be on the allocation list for this year. But, with yeilds down...they did send a nice apologetic letter, Well, after getting the no soup for me email, I just recieved an offer for purchase. I guess a lot of folks have decided to not purchase this year. Not...

2015 Produttori del Barbaresco Riservas were just offered. I requested one each in the 750ml format, even though they seemed a little high versus some other retailers.

I just checked my “first come, first serve” allocation a few days after the offer, and it’s still there. Even though it’s supposedly lower production in 2017, doesn’t appear to be selling out that fast.

2016 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco 1.5L

I’m passing on my allocation. No way I’m paying $400 a bottle in a weaker vintage just so I get the “right” to purchase next year. At that price (or even less) there are tons of other wines out there equally good or better. Guess you never got an answer to your question? Or at least one that satisf...

Inspired me to pick up a mag.

2014 Ultramarine Blanc de Blancs Heintz Vineyard Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (3/6/2020)
I’m with Buzz on this, outstanding stuff! Creme brûlée, fine mousse, and a long finish. This should drink well for many years. (95 pts.)

Buy it. PHC is a limited once a year release. This year’s 8 year is good but polarizing. You can always trade it for wine if it’s not your thing.

Thanks Joe, I did buy it.

I just received an offer for one bottle of Parker’s Heritage 8 YR Rye for $139.99 from Total Wine as one of their "top customers" at their local store. I'm a wine guy and don't know much about this. Should I get it? The guy who emailed me said that it will be worth more as soon as I buy it. Apprecia...

I’ll buy (or have bought) from 4 lists this year:

MacDonald
Ridge Monte Bello
Sandlands
Ultramarine

anybody have a live code? CRUSHED was aces, think it expires today.

Code WKMP26 appears to be working for Texas purchases.

Asking for a friend... If one were to pass along their 2017 allocation to someone else, say a cousin named Stan, how would one go about conducting the transaction? Does Stan provide his card number and it's then entered into the order, or does the allocation owner use their own payment card and then...

Love me some Hana.

I know it’s early days, but man...what a beating this week in the financial markets. I’m taking a breather on any large wine purchases. Am I alone here?

2015 Jean Foillard Morgon Côte du Py

Is Scarecrow even that hot of a wine anymore? I was looking at aggregate producer scores on CT and there are other producers, like Maybach, who score higher and are much less expensive. Are we chasing a trend that was hot 10+ years ago? This isn’t a troll...I bought last year and the year before.

2016 Pontet-Canet

2012 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Ceras - USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley (2/22/2020) This was hitting on all cylinders tonight, with a huge bouquet of flowers upon opening, followed by warm spicy fruit and a long finish. This has many years left but was complex, interesting, and a very delicious wine. (...

Alas, I have the 2013 and 2015, but not this one. Thanks for the note.

I just picked some up based on the great reviews from folks on WB.

There’s a long list (pun intended) of wine enthusiasts on this board who started out buying from lists and eventually came to regret it. Not that all lists are bad, but they can quickly fill your cellar with wines you may no longer enjoy years from now. This is not a buying from a list problem. Sur...

Some seriously high praise from Vinous on these wines. Congrats to the Bedrock team.

Good time to revive this thread...

+1 on many of the responses above. I’ve never sold a bottle. I like the idea of knowing that if I had to liquidate, I could probably get 50-75% of what I paid, but if I ever get to that point, I have a lot bigger things to worry about. This is a hobby and a passion, not an investment vehicle.

The title of this thread made me shudder. After spending 16 hours of bruising and cutting myself with a small Allen wrench and pulling my back lifting multi-density fiberboard for an IKEA TV wall unit many years ago, I’ll never be the same.

2012 Littorai Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard - USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley (2/14/2020) First Cerise ever, and it was worth the wait. Popped and poured - took ~10 minutes to open up in the glass, but when it did, an explosive bouquet of flowers. Straddling the line between fruit and sa...

Texas is definitely not a “wine friendly” state.

If I'm allowed only one, it's Pepiere's Clos des Briords.

Another vote for this. $15 a bottle for a wine I scored 92 points...can't beat it!

This is on Envoyer's website right now for $39.99 (83 bottles available).

Another rose PSA...

Thanks for the note. I’ve got one bottle of this. Wondering if I should pop open for V-Day tonight...

Got a couple of the 2011s I forgot. Have to crack one open soon.
