#08 on the way here too, apparently - despite the purchase of summer hold, I am not pleased. Of course, everything is guaranteed so if you've got corks pushed up or seeping we will replace...I hold back cases. Hey Cameron, My shipment of #1 was heavily "impacted" by a "shipping issue." The corks on...

A guess on the oakville merlot: https://shop.farniente.com/product/2016-Nickel---Nickel-Harris-Vineyard-Merlot--Oakville--Napa-Valley?productListName=Merlot&position=3 Seems to fit in terms of "legendary," listed for $65 (De Negoce said $60+) and they have a single vineyard Oakville + and Oak Knoll...

Pulled pork sammiches and zinfandel/field blends

I had the 2017 KB RRV recently and also thought it was a mess, and totally different than the usual KB style. Seems like all things are moving in the wrong direction.

I don’t know how accurate or complete this list is but: https://napavintners.com/wineries/wineries_malbec.asp

It better sell out fast or I’m going to end up buying it.

Probably a mid-day Merry Edwards sauvignon blanc and we are doing a 2014 Jean Edwards 74-41 cabernet with lamb and grits for dinner.

A possibility for the chard: https://celaniwines.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/2018-Estate-Chardonnay.pdf 14.5% vs. 14.3%. Always +/- in abv. This is also not a relabeling of the same wine that the winery produced. It is bought out of the barrel so there can be minor differences in a lot of aspect...

Sigh...finally caved and bought one of these offers, been trying so hard not to buy wine! I'd be interested in splits on the off chance anyone is in the Greenwich, CT area fell free to PM. Any guesses on winery? Mt Brave seems like a decent candidate, around the right price point, some similar tast...

The 2018 seghesio sonoma county is the best vintage IMO dating back to 2013 when i first had it.

If I may interrupt the marathon-shipping convo with an update on a marathon wine: The 2013 Kenneth Volk Enz Zin is a major winner. It was $15-ish and is really, really good. On the elegant, softer side, but with plenty of great fruit and spice. Aging beautifully. I've seen this one cycle through a ...

How will we know where the others came from? Once the original wineries release their wines and list the details such as ABV, % new oak, AVAs, price, blend %’s etc. we’ll be able to figure it out as folks did with the pinot offer above. what if the OG winery doesnt release the wine and instead sold...

“Missing, presumed drunk “ Soooo many of these. This has two meanings. Missing presumed drunk is when I'm trying to find a bottle that must have been pulled at the end of a long social. It is also what my wife tells my kids when it's their bedtime and I'm still not home from said social... LOL Nice...

To his credit, this is the first one anyone has gotten out of the 7. The others were too vague or were not exact clones from a winery and thus impossible to figure out. Most of the other offers have not yet been released from the original wineries, so it was nearly impossible to figure them out. So...

Good for him if he is!

Agreed! I hope he is.

Good advice. Ive been pretty good about keeping it +/- 5% accurate with 350-400 btls. I do a cleanup once or twice a year and find the errors to be with daily drinkers like seghesio zin, merry edwards SB etc.

I’ve never tried Miner, and have only had one Krupp before. Any insights from the group on style, quality, value etc?

In for a case. Also got offer #1.

Can anyone tell me about the style? I’ve only had the 2011 and wasn’t a huge fan but...it was a 2011.

Mine ships out of NY too. Have it in hand within 3 business days to PA.

Just got my shipping notification for the marathon order to PA. It says it is shipping from Cobleskill, NY.
Interesting I read that all marathon comes out of napa

Maybe they cold chain shipped from napa to NY, and then handed over to UPS?

Willing to share that code yet? [thankyou.gif] champagne.gif It’s good until June 30, planning to use it in 2 weeks or so. Will post right after that! The codes are all just one use "per account", as far as I've ever seen. So share away if you've got 'em. Saw a new one yesterday: $100 off $300 4MAA...

So anyone have a guess as to the winery?
Faust?

That would be my (hopeful) guess. With limited details for the wine and not many 2018 cabs released with details yet, successful recon is nearly impossible.

Popped a 15’ Integral for tonight

Seghesio Zinfandel
Tenshen White Blend

Where do you ship from?

Grabbed three as well

FYI to all: The Wine Spectator rating (94pts) and review and tasting note that LBW listed/marketed for the Casalvento Janus 2013 is inaccurate. The rating/note they posted was for the 2007 vintage of the same wine. The 2013 is rated 88, and the characteristics in the tasting note are much different....

I feel like Marathon is running out of steam. They keep repeating themselves. The following 4 I think i've seen at least twice before already on this marathon. GKG Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 Dropout Albarino Andrus Island 2016 Domaine de la Janasse Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes 2014 Slee...

Picked up an Hourglass Merlot Blueline Vineyard 2016

This marathon feels like a marathon. Usually feels like a sprint. Still only bought 1 bottle so far...

I love Sojourn and buy every year. They are second behind Carlisle for most bottles in my collection. I agree that their customer service is excellent. I really like their sonoma coast pinots. Gaps crown is my favorite, with sangiacomo coming in close second, and for me the sonoma coast blend is the...

I bit on the Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve

Same here. CT scores and notes got me. Good price too.

I think they usually do a few. At least 1 each day anyway.

So far, so good. I’ve bought nothing.

I went with a few of the 503 error. A bit more simplistic than the 502 but fuller bodied.

LBW should do a marathon. I’m bored out of my mind with the lockdown.
just wanted to make sure you saw that there is a marathon April 2-4

Got it, thanks!

BTW, if you have StewardShip. Buy yourself a $20 bottle of wine, and enter NCSJAN20 code. You're welcome.

Didn’t work for me! It says i’m not eligible.

Is the number of Scarecrow allocations available at cost on commerce corner higher than usual? I'm relatively new here but am surprised to see so many listings like that. Each seller has their own reasons of course, but in aggregate maybe it points to a change in mood/habits for which market expect...

I’ve had so many damaged wines from PA state stores that I don’t purchase anything from them anymore. Not even online. Many of the stores have huge windows with sunlight beaming in all day. The temperature is warm in the stores and shipping/storage conditions are questionable at best. Anything disco...

Kosta Browne is (was?) made in a more modern, ripe style of pinot that was meant for early drinking. The wines you are reading about that are great at 20-30 years old are likely made in an entirely different style. On a positive note, for some reason, aged KB still gets a decent price on the seconda...
