my last shipment from wine.com to Florida was shipped from Berkley CA.
Vogue and Rouget

so sorry to hear of this tragic senseless end of Frank's life.
Rest in peace.

Empire State of Wine is what I am talking about

Not cheap but indestructible and fantastic. Lots of high end restaurants use their plates and bowls.

love these plates/bowls.

I have bought from Empire a few times always with good service and prompt delivery. the owner is French

Buzz is already out. I’m holding steady so far though tempted twice. Confess in this thread when your holdout breaks and you succumb to your first 2021 purchase. First purchase January 2nd. A wine searcher alert showed up- I tend to purchase these alerts if the pricing is reasonable. 2000 Robert Ch...

my 2020 consumption was up.
I don't think we missed a day without wine although for us only at dinner and rarely lunch.
Also, cocktails were up.
All consumed at home.

i love my Liberté glasses. I just weighed a few they ranged from 90g-104g.
the video was great to see how these are made.

bought more 2008 Comtes yesterday at $188.00 with no sales tax and free shipping with a 3 bottle purchase.
which is $172.67 net before tax for NY

OK Alan...that truly is funny
Another opportunity arose.

You noticed how I phrased it...so far

last purchase of 2020
2001 Vogue Bonnes Mares
2012 E. Rouget Echezeaux
one bottle each

yesterday My daughter's boyfriend found out he passed the NJ Bar (He is already admitted in MA) and wants to live with my daughter in NY. I pulled this bottle and was blown away how good it was.

my resolution is to keep buying wines I enjoy for my husband and me and also for my 2 adult children and their husband and SO. Also, hopeful that sometime in 2021 we will get back to be able to share more with groups of friends.

I’ve not had the 86 Lafite but the 86 Mouton smokin. Check out Leve’s CT note from last month. My only caveat is, and you seem to raise the same concern, when I am giving somebody a gift of a wow bottle, I generally do not go back that far in maturity as the risk of a bad bottle, in my opinion, is ...

hysterical, thanks for posting

Hello I would like to ship two bottles of wine to a friend in Colorado. I already have a box from wine.com that hold two bottles so I am good there. Just wondering what shipper I should use. UPS, FedEx or the US Post Office? Anyone know who has the best rates? I would NEVER use a wine.com box. The ...

Happy Birthday! Sounds like a great night.

same here. re-ran them all on US only

I did two side by side roast chickens (Mary's Heritage birds) the other day using the Zuni method. Sous Vide for about 2.5 hours @150 followed by browning for about 15 minutes at 482. I'd say they were the best roast chickens ever. The juiciness of the chicken while eating was like wringing out a w...

we opened the same for lunch in Philadelphia with fried chicken outdoors.

Phil is great, good shop and good pricing

I have never been to either facility where I store wine in NJ at MWC or FL at Cellar55

around $2.10 per case per month based on paying 2 years up front. (100 case contract)

bought more 168 and more 2012 Cristal yesterday and shipped to FL. Thanks for the heads up.

I have no idea what I will open in 5 years.
I do know, for sure, a great wine night or a few great nights will happen when Covid is behind us.

If the wine can complement both vegetarian and meat friendly dishes, even better.

this list linked above is from July 2019. I would ask for a more current wine list

I go by row A-H and position within the row in my LaCache ie, LC_A12 LaCache row A line 12. the wine is double deep but I don't put a position on them.

boycotting now at $190.00

just pre salt and left unwrapped for 1-2 days in the fridge for me

winebid is where mine go Has this been successful for you with sub $40 bottles? I guess I look at Winebid as a way to move higher end stuff, but I’d be happy to send them a few cases if they can sell. at prices under $30.00 I believe there is a $5.00 additional fee charge. I did sell a bunch of val...

the newer bottlings are way better than the older 2001-2006 bottles. All I have will ever be all I have.

on pre-arrival- you don't have them yet
I bought from the 2019 "N" from Crush as well. Crush estimates arrival to be either February or March 2021

I bought a bottle from wine.com using the retailmenot 20% link today.
no other codes would work

I recently had the 1997 Clos de Beze from Prieure Roch and it was a WOW wine. Happy to hear that the 93 showed great.

me too, from Michel?

they'll release the 2019 "N" in January 2021
