Scored 3 bottles of Old Fitzgerald 9 year BiB today in original cardboard box.......

Any new signups/friend requests from NBA players? Asking for a Fu......I mean friend.

Seriously, congrats on the shoutout from Forbes!

Got a few bottles of 2016 Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent for $9.97 yesterday.

Right now, all those dates look OK for me. Agree that while a CNY OL sounds good in theory, actually finding a venue that isn't crazy busy is almost impossible. If we decide to do an "off season" OL, then the best deal I've seen is a lunch banquet on Saturday or Sunday. Zen Peninsula in Millbrae loo...

Livermore Costco has 13 bottles after I left just now. $46.99 and limit of 1 per member. Hurry!

Not sure if I'm allowed to express an opinion here

The answer would always be a resounding NO, Mr. Alan "Hot Take™" Rath........

Awesome! That lineup is definitely worth the extra teeth brushing.....

Costco PSA - Jim Beam Single Barrel marked down to $19.97........

ERPark

Waiting for the first tasting note to call out "tastes like kissing a Welsh ass" as a descriptor. One can assume it's not gonna score anywhere close to 93 points overall.

ERPark

I'll co-sign Larry's comments! Looking forward to hopefully doing business again with David.....

ERPark

Great transaction. Appreciate doing business with you, David!

This is like the "Seinfeld" episode about Festivus ("The Strike", in Season 9, Espisode 10): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festivus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strike_(Seinfeld) Alan (aka Welshturd) is doing his "Airing of Grievances" schtick yet again. And like a broken record, it again b...

Looking forward to our transaction on the 15 and 20, David!

Weird that I'm seeing this thread for the first time. ''Twas a marvelous get-together in every aspect - company, food and alcohol (there were a few other bottles of non-bubbles to fill out the evening).

I'll have to check the wife's phone for pics/video beyond the Krug that were taken.

Saw these at Costco yesterday:

My brother who lives in Seattle pays more for Washington Wines under $20 than we do in Minneapolis.

That's a function of the high taxes on alcohol assessed by the WA state government.

Gotta love getting Prime marbling for Choice grade pricing @ Costco.......

It's Pizzaiolo, btw.

Sometimes browsing the Costco meat section yields some amazingness. These ribeyes (no caps) are getting 60 mins in the smoker before flash grilling on a piping hot cast iron for 90 seconds total per side.......

What's a good price? My club had their holiday open house last night, and I'm tempted by an offer of 6-packs of 2006 Dom P for $787 all-in ($131 and change per bottle)......

ERPark

3 of the 10 soldiers checking in, ready for duty.....

ERPark

I can bring some stickies, if we want to round out the non-bubbles lineup. '83 Dow and an '01 Rieussec (375ml of the Rieussec, lest we lapse into diabetic comas), perhaps?

ERPark

With all the chatter about various Old Forester bottlings, I'll add that I had a fair bit of the 2018 release of the Birthday Bourbon earlier this week. The higher proof does sneak up on you (in a good way). Tons of caramel and honey on the palate, with citrus lurking beneath. Veddy tasty, to say th...

2003 acquired upon release.

1998 from a reputable dealer....../fingerscrossed

[smileyvault-ban.gif] This might be the worst HOT TAKE™ ever. . Yeah. I know who I won't be listening to reviews from. Not sure why it needs to be all that. It’s just my opinion. And many millions of people like McD’s. Some people think White Castle has great sliders, even when they are not drunk w...

ERPark

But my favorite is their 2014 Domaine Carneros Brut for $21.99 - Better than the Roederer Brut for $3 more. Small bubbles and a light yeasty flavor will make you think it's french instead of CA. Delicious.[/img] I would disagree. Domaine Carneros tastes like what it is-- a tourist wine that's clear...

I attended a dinner before a Wine Spectator Grand Tour event in Las Vegas which Suckling attended, back when he was still with WS. The 2000 Margaux was served with the main course. Suckling remarked to us "the only reason I gave the 2000 Margaux a 100 point score......was because I couldn't give it ...

Just had one last night as well with a bunch of winos. Superb Champagne, very fresh, creamy, develops a ton of minerality with air. Held it's own no problem against 2004 Krug Brut.

'Twas a Kobrand labeled bottle, for those keeping score at home.......

Easy peasy. Invite local Berserkers over. Remove foil enclosure. Pop and pour!

ERPark

I just want to absolutely confirm attendance so I know what vintages are truly spoken for. I also want to avoid splitting the bottles too many ways, but don't want to turn people down (I still have more asking about attending) on that account and then have those who I thought were coming not attend...

What time would festivities begin on Dec 1st?

ERPark

Costco does a 10% markup on products across the board I believe. Helps explain why they have something like this so cheap, whatever the quality. There's no blanket policy, but per Wikipedia it's claimed that most products are marked up between 8 to 10%, while their Kirkland Signatures products have...

ERPark

We can only consider Saturdays (or Fridays)?

ERPark

Since a theme seems to have developed of bringing stuff you usually don't, I'll have a 2015 Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet in hand this evening......

ERPark

Heck, I might be up to flying down for this, given enough advance notice. Could contribute an '03 Krug to the party.......

ERPark

It's a "handle" (1.75L bottle) of Weller 12 year bourbon.

ERPark

Possibility is shaping up that I could be in NYC for work sometime around the 12th thru 16th in January. Could offer a '13, '14 or '15 if the dates align.....

ERPark

Bay Area WBers alert! Blanton's at Concord Costco for $46.99 plus tax. Limit of 1 bottle per member. Had about 25 bottles on shelf when I left an hour ago.

ERPark

Email just arrived stating same apology and date of next attempt TBD as the updated HTML email from a couple days ago. As I'd mentioned previously in this thread, my suspicion is that this debacle is again more of a poorly written app situation, rather than lack of bandwidth and compute resources. T...

I should be able to make this.

Costco marked down the Russell's Reserve Single Barrel store pick bourbon. Picked up a few from Richmond this morning.......

Dammit, wrong thread......

They just did this first come first serve thing in Washington- most sold out in 2-3 minutes- or wasn't available based on my store preference. Having had access to a bunch of PVW 15, 20 a few years back (and still having a 20), decided to go for (and got) a bottle of the Eagle 17 As one of our most...
