I was HALO jumping with Alex last week and we had a chance to taste through his whole lineup starting with his 2008 and ending with each enjoying a cluster of 2019 grapes. The 2018 was breathtaking. His 2017 sublime and the 2016 incredible.

Is any part of this story true? Lol

Really excited about this (and the main release coming in a few months)!

Fastest gun in the west... Almost under 60 sec.

Lol attaboy!

Offer hit my inbox a bit ago. Reviews are stellar.

I regret passing on this last year but am gun-shy on the 17s. Anyone tasted this yet?

Hopefully I can try to taste it when I'm out in Napa later this month before having to commit.

I taste with Tom Garrett every year which includes East Block from the beginning, reviewing the first three vintages (09-11 released together). The previous year we tasted the 2010 East Block (in shiner) which had been part of the outstanding Premiere Napa Valley lot in 2011. At that point he hadn'...

Seems like an interesting project. Are the prices reasonable? Wine searcher suggests the 14 was pretty reasonably priced.

Some Realm Absurd

I wouldn’t pay it. If they misbilled you that’s on them. If it was something egregious maybe I’d have a different view but I wouldn’t budge on this one unless there was a very compelling reason.

Decisions decisions on the Cariad. $500 is so steep!

That’s not a bad deal at all. Where?

Any other suggestions here?

Who’s the winemaker for the 16 vintage? Website still says Pott

I’ll take all the absurd you guys pass on. Please and god bless.

Always one of the best under $100 cabs out there. Isn’t exactly readily available though is the challenge. I typically regret not buying more than I do every year.

Anyone planning on passing or looking to sell? Would love to get an allocation.

Thanks

In for 6 as well. Hoping for big things. If not, the bottle looks cool so that’ll be alright.

I like your dedication to how bad you felt this was. 3 posts...admirable.

My favorites under $100 that you can still get your hands on:

2016 bevan Ontogeny
2016 outpost howell mountain
2013 Hidden Ridge 55 Slope

2014 Roy Piper Cabernet... magnum... I've never had a Roy Piper wine, but is it at all possible that a 2014 Roy Piper Cabernet in Magnum might not be ready to consume until circa the 2064 to 2089 timeframe? BTW, that's a serious question. Again, I've never had a Roy Piper wine, but at age Almost-Fi...

Thanks Gents. I'll be sure to check some of those places out.

Traveling out to Seattle this weekend. Any good spots to get some bourbon I may not be able to get in Atlanta?

Decanted this about 2 hours ago.

Would love your thoughts on it.

I opened a 13 Fait Main Las Piedras. Should be good!

Got my order confirmation the other day. Always good wines at a reasonable price. Plus the wife pays half of these.

That mondavi is a big young cab so I’d decant a while unless you want a big oaky fruit bomb. I’ve had it PnP and I do like big oaky fruit bombs at times so it was good for that.

Wills wines require less time in my experience.

Damn Tex you had a good night.

Nice buys Ned

Anyone passing and willing to share at cost? Would love an allocation.

Thanks

Dibs. Hopefully

What was this? I missed it...lol

Confused how you guys see that as presented as a mixed case. Must be missing something.

Anyone else passing? Would love to take an allocation.

Wow...sad news. I always appreciated his sense of humor. I bought a few bottles from him and he was a great guy to deal with. RIP

Deciding on how big to go on Carlisle

If anyone is passing on their allocation I’ll gladlt take it. Please pm me.

Pmed you

Assuming the 18s are fantastic too. Will try to keep to 1.5 cases.

27 Half bottles of Krug Grand Cuvée for $53.99 a piece. Random liquor store near Lake Geneva, WI—they got a some kind of special purchase from their distributor for the halves and stayed with the usual mark-up. I kindly cleaned them out.

That’s a hell of a purchase. Well done

In. Exciting sounding.

Glad I found another mailing list to join. The 317 lists I was on before didn't cut it. Had to get to 318.

I’m sure more will pop up

Another good Tuesday night

Got the save the date today. Anyone try these yet? Only have seen 1 CT note. Jeb Dunnicks early reviews looked as good as the 2016s so that was slightly surprising considering the vintage differences.

CJ. This steakhouse is the most expensive in ATL. It is so hard to get out without serious financial damage. They had Heitz brand new releases for about $250. Clarets were expensive too. Opus One was almost $450. I usually bring but didn't this time. Curious which one it was? Sounds like you got a ...

Probably will only buy the Ontegeny as normal. Someone posted a review on it here (maybe Mike Grammar?) and said it was really strong this year.

Thin ice pal, thin ice. I think I can hear the laughter from Napa Valley coming over the Mayacamas right now into my backyard. So what happens when a winery sells less product than expected? They sit on product forever or they cut their costs to get rid of bottles? Typically they cut their costs to...
