--Bruce

I’m guessing Bennett Lane Napa Valley Cabernet. Located in Calistoga, estate Lynch Family vineyard in Calistoga, last vintage or two are listed at $65, 30% new French oak.

I think #107 lines up well with Goosecross's "Petit Petite". $95, 50% Petite Sirah, 50% Syrah, 100% New French Oak. Many of the tasting notes line up. The winery sits on State Lane road right by Kapscandy and Cliff Lede. The only thing that doesn't line up is Cam said this Petite comes fro...

Caved yesterday and picked up Beau Vigne on Last Bottle. The shame!

I grabbed 4 of the Beau Vigne Romeo today. Been wanting to try this winery as I’m a big fan of Kirk Venge.

Anyone else mildly concerned with all of the shipping issues combined with this likely shipping as temps increase?

Gave the Sleeper a go bc I was getting antsy for some action. Like others said a couple pages ago no idea what who or where it comes from. Try anything once. Though if I like it I can’t really get more cause I couldn’t find it for sale anywhere else. You can always contact LBW if you buy anything f...

I was just wondering if there's a dedicated thread to the marathon...sounds like it's not worth it. First year for me.

This is the thread with marathon discussions.

Yeah last marathon was lame. Hoping this one is better but won’t be able to watch it as closely.

I thought I had posted this here already, but I guess it didn’t go through...

Thread is a bit old but may be helpful.

2016 Carlisle zinfandel, Carlisle vineyard. Perfect pairing with turkey. Lots of vibrant red fruit and blood orange. Excellent.

And there it is

Same here...very tempted.

Popped N.42 Bordeaux blend/primarily cabernet. Believed to be 2018 Boeschen. Triple decanted and poured immediately after. This wine is FANTASTIC. Not $125 good, but I’d be happy with this if I paid $75, maybe a bit more. It is definitely young, but is surprisingly drinkable. There is a lot of upsid...

He had me at “Oh”, but I was too slow.

I'm not upset about anything just yet as I've received 4 cases of the 8 I've ordered, and the delay actually allowed the weather to cool and it gave me time to get my wine storage organized. That said, I understand the frustration from many here, and agree that this is no way to run a business. If I...

Went for n.68 after this last release. I don’t expect I’ll be buying much outside of 2018 California cab or BDX blends. Seems like those might be near the end, plus I like Pride.

Chris Crutchfield wrote: ↑October 20th, 2020, 7:44 pm Maybe Cam decided to cut it with 10% cab to increase the amount of juice? Like a drug dealer cutting their coke with other substances to make more profit.

Also a strong possibility. Enough to make me stay on the brakes with this one.

Hard to believe this isn’t Pride, but I cannot imagine Pride would sell off their entire 2018 vintners select merlot in a great vintage (as indicated by cameron “ My understanding is this is the entire 2018 production of this particular high-end cuvee.“) Maybe they tried a new blend with excess frui...

Popped the n.15 merlot that I had previously coravined right off the truck. I still think this is the best made wine I’ve had from DN. It is well balanced between oak/fruit, acidity/sweetness. More elegant and restrained than expected, but very smooth. No bite in this from acid or alcohol. I purchas...

grouphug #17 is open again. Previous posts suggested Beaucanon. something really bugs me about this. You can add 1m cases to your cart, so there is essentially an unlimited amount available to buy right now... It's an error, it has happened a few times. It's not malicious or real. Of course he doesn...

N.01, coravined straight off the truck again today. Strong oak influence on the nose: Tobacco, espresso, dark jammy fruit. My type of wine. Smooth and velvety on the palate, you can tell there is high alcohol with the glycerin mouthfeel, but just a touch of heat. Taste is consistent with the nose, ...

You took a HARD stop from #15 to #40. Why did you restart? Cellar room? I mean I get the stop, I'm super stressed about figuring where to put this wine. I thought off site would be easy but it's not. Just curious why the restart. You hadn't tried them yet so what made you get back in? I really cons...

Love it. Virtually all the cabs that we have uncovered have not been released by the producers and won't for 1-2 years. So it makes sense that they aren't ready for prime time yet. Storage is definitely a cost and needs to be added into the value proposition. I got all of these and have two cases o...

That's a good idea actually. I second. Say the # and if possible post as little or much about the # as you feel obliged so people know wtf it is. Can be price, appellation, even a short description. I edited top post suggesting. I vote that MatthewT just make a list of all the OG's with a little bi...

Coravined a 3oz pour of n.08 cabernet and n.15 merlot, right off the truck again. The merlot is much more elegant than i expected given the notes and likely producer. It has great red fruit, smooth velvety mouthfeel and a dry but not astringent finish. It should be ready to drink relatively soon af...

Also just to clarify, it looks like these are micro-agglomerated corks.

I thought all of dN's corks were synthetic. I was pretty sure you can't use coravin with synthetic closures. Is that not the case? Yeah, its not recommended but it does work. The reseal is not always good, but should be okay. I plan to consume the bottles i coravined in the short term, so hopefully...

I think we all realize we don’t exactly know what the hell is going on. I’m just glad I have ~$18 bottles of Cabernet that I can open on a whim with no guilt and that won’t be supermarket wine. Bottoms up.

I’d be curious to see which would get most post, the regular tasting notes thread or the cooked wines one?

I’d bet cooked, 3:1

Should we start a second De Negoce tasting notes thread for just the cooked wines?

Coravined a glass of N.05 right off the truck. Nose is incredible. Big oak and red fruit. Hot for sure but that blew off in a few minutes. It is a bit disjointed and young at the moment, but there is potential here for a really good wine. All the elements I like are there, it just doesn’t mesh right...

Soon we should start a “what dN wine are you drinking tonight?” Thread. Only seems fitting that MatthewT start that thread. Will be much easier to track tasting notes/comments/thoughts all in one place and keep this thread to offers. That way people dont have to sift through tons of pages between t...

they sent me an email a week ago saying theyd ship 10/1 on refrigerated trucks to a ups hub. Probably won’t get tracking until it is handed off to ups.

He could’ve bought a half bottle of Caymus with that!

Not getting an email definitely saved me $300 on n.60. Can someone please share the email content now that the wines are sold out?

5 Shiffcabs, 2 napcabs, 1shiffprop

Biggest order of W&M in 3 years on the list. The 2016 shiff cab is possibly my favorite wine Ive ever tasted.

I would be very happy with my purchase if its R&R. Happier than if it was del dotto, even though the retail price may be lower, I like the wine better. Del Blotto does not just refer to the amount of alcohol they serve you, it also applies to their prices 😬. Here is the link to the R&R page ...

It’s MACDONALD. Again. Just like all other offers I have purchased.

Grabbed a case. Time to research.

Changed things up with a late night offer, but I’m passing. Prefer the bigger wines.

Sorry if this is old news, I may have missed it but I didn’t see it posted here... Cameron Hughes did a 35min instagram live video with Leslie Brocco regarding De Negoce this last Wednesday. Her Instagram handle is lesliesbrocco so go there In the app. Look at her stories and you can find a link to...

That already exists, but it won’t let me share the link

If they were on to you, they would have known that you don’t need more wine and served you an offsite storage ad
