2016 Stone the Crow Premiere Napa

Never had a premiere Napa wine. Hopefully it’s as impressive as I’ve heard

My ups man texts me and asks if I want to sign. Works out

16 Salt Vine
17 Carter Fortuna

Feels like we’re in for a turbulent few months. Just wait until all the guidance adjustments come in. A lot of money to be made and lost.

Does anyone buy classic California producers like:

Mount Eden
ABC
Forman
Heitz
Joseph Swan
Stony Hill

And others - or it is just the latest flavor of the month?

Nope.

First CT review looked promising.

Does anyone have Michters 20 they’d like to sell by chance? Pm me please.

Of the lists your on that are hard to find secondary market for retail or less, and are worthwhile in my opinion, I’d say it’s: Schrader William and Mary DiCostanzo I’d also sign up for MacDonald, Maybach, Rivers Marie and Myriad. Memento Mori and Vice Versa make some great SVDs as well. Drop the re...

Damn that moved quick.

Buyers be happy - he is a great seller.

Early reports are that the 18 vintage is around as good as the 16 vintage so I would anticipate a strong showing for the Bard in 18. If 16 is still around retail I’d probably snag a few but otherwise I’d wait.

I had a 2011 Napa the other day that was almost too green to drink. We kept calling it Japaleno juice. Glad there were some winners in there. I have not had many.

Wish it was 29% off. Would make it worth while OK, you caught me -- math isn't my forte [truce.gif] The 29.29% off is decently cute given the occasion. Lol on a $100 order it’s 29% off. But for free shipping you need 6 bottles. I don’t see me spending under 300 -400 for 6 bottles making the 29 buck...

I’d say my experience has been positive and that it is worth it for release price. There are wines I slightly prefer for the price point but I wouldn’t regret Schrader at release cost. Usually can get your money back too if you ever decided to sell.

Are you thinking the 18 vintage will be better than the 16? I love the 2016 vintage - and at this early stage I am placing 2018 slightly above it for Napa Cab (especially mountain fruit). Of course it is very early as these wines are not yet bottled. Our cabs won’t be bottled until early August and...

How do you get an Amex offer?
check your AMEX card app under offers and search for wine access. They have other wine vendors in there as well. Each AMEX card has different offers

Thank you. Somehow I have a Benchmark coupon for $50 off $250 instead.

How do you get an Amex offer?

14 Elysian is gorgeous, hell as is the 16. 08 Maybach would be too. The macdonalds are too young to show right with that short imo.

Anyone else have the coupons?

Krug 168

You are hammering the 168

Any reviews on these? Reviews don't matter Nick. They're a thousand points from somebody for sure. Parker loved them but now that he's not reviewing any more, it doesn't matter. Get whatever you can. And then if you don't like them, you can sell them. Valid point. Just a matter of prioritization to...

Wow. Awfully kind of you. Sorry I missed out

What the heck was this? Lol fastest sale ever.

Any reviews on these?

I ordered nothing from flannery but had to replace. I bought Salt Vine and Grassel only.

It’s a tough decision but I am going to pass on tomorrow’s offer. I’d rather save my cash and wait for next year. By all early indications, 2018 is going to be a banner year in Napa.

My thinking exactly. That and I ended up w 2 cases of the 2016. Whoops.

Just got the release note. Anyone had a chance to try? Wonder how they compare to previous years?

Damn - missed this.

Had a 15 last week and it was great. Typical mike Smith wine, which I love. Will be drinking one next to a 15 Carter Weitz soon just to see how they compare. May throw a Maybach in the mix too

Damn...tempting.

Wow strong offer!

Was it the 17 MM yesterday? Or the 18?

Anyone passing on Dr Crane or BTK please message me. Happy to take it off your hands.

Any of you guys have access to Bookers Country Ham? Looking for a couple bottles and cannot find them locally.

That didn’t take long

Can you point us where to get MacDonald for somewhere in his price range? I’ll take a dozen.
The mailing list
Which is closed, right?

It’s only like a 6 year waiting list. And they are selling the 2017s this year. But no, MacDonald is definitely a great suggestion.

They’ll let him sign up right now and buy the 2015s? Or would he have to go find a time machine? Asking for a friend

Did you try them Albert? I do like MGP juice.

KL won’t ship to me living in Georgia. Clowns.

Was able to grab a Zalto decanter. Wish I could buy more but I have too many Grassls as it stands. No space for more unfortunately.

Salt Vine
Zalto decanter

Debating coffee, Flannery and Riverain. Still time to spend more.

How do you guys cook the Hanger Steaks? Never tried them. Contemplating a few of those and a couple of Ribeyes.

Just been informed we have 4 more 3 packs of the 2015

https://www.golden8wines.com/product-p/15saltcs3pck.htm
Coupon Code: BerserkerDay2020

Those didn't last long at all.

Steve - How is the 17 compared to the 16? I know 17 was a more challenging vintage but just checking your thoughts on tasting differences?

Some Salt Cellars and a Zalto decanter

How many bottles were produced for the 2015 and 2016

I still had shipping on my Emailed invoice.

They said they’ll refund shipping. Can’t speak to quantity.

Same for me, shipping still was charged - assumed we’d just fix it afterwards and didn’t want to miss out.

Order in!

I was able to grab 6 of the 2015s, will this be the 2016? Def will be in if the pricing was similar to the 2015 deal I got.
