Beautiful. if your cellar temp is in the 50s, how often do you sit in those nice leather chairs to enjoy a glass?

Cool. Thanks for posting

Great idea for a thread Robert. Reading with interest

2017 Monte Bello, half a box of 2016 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva (.375) and half a box of NV Ployez-Jacquemart Champagne Extra Brut Rosé (.375) Sigh.....

We have a chlorine bleach solution (made to CDC spec) that we mist on pkgs and then let them sit for a day or so. Cardboard is not an especially hospitable platform for the virus.

I don't think that is necessary. I didn't read all your posts in this crazy thread Neal so maybe we are mostly saying the same thing. There is no evidence that you can contract Covid-19 from prepared food absent fecal transmission. Again, there is reason and then there is something other than reaso...

Again, the take out risk is all in the packaging. Well, there is a slightly elevated risk in uncooked food, but the same is true of veggies you buy in the super market and serve raw at home. Actually, the latter seems riskier, as the veggies in the store are on display and presumably available to b...

1994 Rauzan Segla
I was impressed with the 2nd wine "Segla" (or is it "Rauzan"?) from this vintage recently. Thoughts on this?

It's Segla. Or at least it is in modern times. The only one I've had was 2012 and it was very nice (for what it is)

I must say this is the most extreme treatise I have seen that is related to the virus. I'll probably be the first one on the Board to kick off due to the virus, but I can't live the way that is being discussed here. I admire the dedication of all you glove wearers, waivers, and wipers, but I just c...

I would, and have, reported this to FedEx. Too many possible negatives can come from that practice. Joe Drivers are busting their tail right now under crazy conditions and literally risking their lives so people can get what they need / want. This is the exact opposite time I'd rat out a driver for...

Just seems totally sketchy. Person making your food may be healthy but can unknowingly pass on the virus as it sits on nice warm food (perfect environment). The risk reward for me isn't worth it, but for those who can't buy groceries and make a meal, this may be your only option. Keep clean!!! Hmmm...

FWIW, I absolutely agree that this was not what I wanted nor how it was supposed to work. I assume anything not in my house has the virus and try to act accordingly. John, understand. Being 'safe at home' as we have for the past 6 days or so, I've never really paused this hard to think about exchan...

Didn’t require a signature. But driver said (from a distance ) that if an adult didn’t come to the door that he wouldn’t have left the package .

just had a box placed on the stoop, and the driver didn't knock or wait for me to come to fetch it.

Happy birthday Todd!

God I love Montrose, and that 20 years is so true to form for them in great years, which is why my old ass is not buying. And bummed! I did buy 2014 but did not 2010. The 2005 was my last Montrose from a big structured vintage. I bought a mag of the 2008 for reasons that escape me now. I mean, it w...

One bottle of Ruinart NV rose. Crazy I know.

OK, who beat me to the 1998 Winston Churchill for $125?
Was this sent today? If so, my lack of buying in recent months must have moved me off the priority email list. This is the first time I can recall not receiving something.
It was Cellaraiders, not Envoyer...

Ooops, sorry.

OK, who beat me to the 1998 Winston Churchill for $125?

And arrived from where? In any event, I'd definitely wait a few weeks. (Cue the travel shock deniers.) John is pointing to the nearly mystical belief that a wine is insulted by the travel itself and will sulk until it is allowed to wait for an extended period. Less controversial is the fact that a ...

I have a 38 year old special bottle that will arrive any day. I was hoping it would have arrived sooner but it looks like it will come a day or 2 before my anniversary, it’s intended use. How much time do you keep a bottle standing up after transit with this amount of age? I think 24 hours might no...

Excellent idea Robert! Still waiting for this cold to let go, but I will pull something and get it ready; maybe this weekend!

I BOUGHT WINE!

1986 Meyney
1994 Grand Puy Lacoste
1986 Carbonnieux

also at cellaraiders. I wanted more but cut it off there. Nice score Hank!

We had an 11 year bull market. A reckoning was inevitable. It ended now, as opposed to a month from now, because of the coronavirus, but if you weren't anticipating (and planning for) a sharp correction, you simply weren't paying attention. One hopes that when things become clearer with respect to t...

I am the worlds worst investor, what ever I do the market does the opposite.
So expect a further plunge.
Index - Buy - Hold - Rebalance
Please check back in one month from now and let us know how that worked out for you... And don’t fib

one month is not a relevant time horizon

I think I bought a couple of bottles of the Natalie Falmet Rose Tentation from envoyer. Haven't heard back yet
Ah, old age setting in. Cannot even recall what you did lol!

Nah, I def ordered a couple. They just haven't responded yet. I assume I bought them

We are paying 50% here to keep the system going thanks to entrenched interests and huge amounts of lobbying. Consumers have been consistently screwed for decades and I can’t begin to calculate the money that i have paid out to the greedy sods who pay off the politicians to fatten their bank account...

BTW, the difference is less -- about 50% for Bollinger Grande Annee. ~$100 for the white, and about 150 for the rosé

Hi all, I’ve been getting more and more into wine the past year or two and have had some truly remarkable stuff in that time. My fiancé and I are members at Joseph Phelps, Larkmead, and Failla, and are active mailing list members at Turley, Rivers-Marie, and Realm. We recently also purchased from A...

Best $20 or so from California - how about Ridge Three Valleys.

More like $30 (Total has current version for $28), but yes it is a fine bottle of wine and a relative bargain

2014 Chateau Lanessan, Haut-Medoc

^^^ Also Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico

well done

I came SO CLOSE to buying 2012 Bollinger Grande Annee Rose. Does that count?

I wouldn't gift them glasses. But I might give them some.

At this point we are trudging ahead unless something out of our control happens.

COVID aside, congratulations Jorge!
