Nice mix here. Already have a 2014 Widowmaker so this make it easier to open one sooner, my oldest GOK was 2013 so this will be nice, and an old Frog in the box. 1 — 2011 BIONIC FROG SY 750 ML 1 — 2013 EN CHAMBERLIN SYRAH 750 ML 1 — 2010 CAMASPELO 750 ML 1 — 2012 GOD ONLY KNOWS 750 ML 1 — 2014 WIDOW...

I can spare 2 from my 6 pack at cost to someone in Southern California that missed out.

PM sent as well.

12 bottles is my max, 19 different times. Many of these were years ago as I have too much wine and have moved to diversify. 8 of those 19 were Bedrock wines. 3 of these were 2007 Cameron Hughes cabernets. Most recent was the 2016 Andremily Syrah #5 when 2 CC requests both came in.

I bought 9 bottles today, my picnic stash was getting low. Thanks, Andrew for the heads up. 1991 Ridge Vineyards "Lytton Springs" Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 1996 Ridge Vineyards "Geyserville" Sonoma Proprietary Red 1 1996 Ridge "Lytton Estate" Dry Creek Valley Syrah 1996 Ridge 1997 Ridge Vineyards ...

Excellent job Charlie, and everyone donating and buying raffle tickets. In for 10!!

This ties into the discussion, but is not about the glass. What do folks use to keep flying proteins from landing in your glasses when outside? Not a huge problem here in Southern California, but it must be bad in some of those "buggy" states back east.

My first Carlisle was a 2006 Somoma Zin in late 2008, so a bit late to the show.
But I have knocked down 286 bottles which makes Carlisle my most consumed producer.

I'll be drinking a 2013 Papara, the last of the 6 I owned. I would like Mike to touch on his drinkabiliy chart. The 2013 Papara original peak was until 2023. Now the peak window has shortened to 2021 by Mike in 2019. He makes so many wines and not all are regularly updated. Does he have a rule of t...

Brian, here is a classic thread from the past. David vs. Goliath.

Check out the Helluva Deal section for some sweet pricing.

For those of you who never sign for it - what is your recourse should a package gets taken without you knowing? Cheers I had a driver that used to sign and leave packages outside the locked entry gate. Told him I appreciated that but then explained the scenario you mention. I told him I don't want ...

Like the idea to focus on a couple vintages. Either day works for us.

I'm in on this one and will not let other things get in my way as I did with the W-S event. Big fail on my part to drop out of that.

I snoozed and didn't get the info in time. Guess I'll watch Frazier-Ali III, the Thrilla in Manila!
And drink a 2008 Napa Cab.

Fun and informative way to stay connected. Thanks Frank for setting this up and Jaime for taking time to try this out. Dana is on the Kutch site right now so we'll see where she takes this. Great to connect with folks that joined. Cheers and safe wishes to you all.

Haven't paid close attention here but this is a great idea. Wish I saw this yesterday as I just opened 2 that were in the US Rhone zone. A pair of 2007 Paso big dogs on deck with Booker Alchemist 28 month barrel aged and L'Aventure Cote-a-Cote.

Just a fair warning at this point...after supposedly agreeing to buying/paypal on Feb 7th/8th contact stopped. I’m not worried as I’m not out anything (I thought I was doing a favor to sell older JB at current cost), but a weird disappearance...

Adios Jmigliano

Sadly, I am conflicted out on this and will give the next person my spot.
Did I mention I am really sad?

Calluna vineyard cuvee $33

Good call. This wine drinks well above the retail price.

isn't the current bulk market [over]saturated? Yes but: 1) This would have been a few years ago and 2) Quality juice will always find a home Cheers Coming to a Trader Joe's near you soon... Thinking back to my emails with them these were dumped. As in down the drain. Otherwise we would have seen a ...

Love seeing the hauls that everyone has each year. Such a diversity in purchases and great to see all the new producer purchases folks have.

Look what showed up in my package! I bet Fred and Judi $1 that they'd sell more than a number of bottles I specified. They thought I might be joking. Looks like they're back for BD12 Hahah Awesome. Glad they had a great day and look forward to seeing them next year. Zin and Chard this year, next ye...

Okay, this got complicated quickly and a red flag was thrown for a replay. Here's the official decision. The anonymous bid of $200 is accepted and the conditions that the donation be made to www.womaninc.org , the anonymous can make the donation directly and confirm with Todd. All those that agreed...

Taking David up on his offer for free Maggie of the Colonel, 1 of each please! Great stuff, thank you David and Jim

Good for you and a worthy first post. You will dig these wines!

This work thing gets in the way.
Ordered 2 OMV Zins before a meeting, then came back and added the Helfer Chard. Saw the 10% off 12 bottles and added the 2017 OMV Zin for the 10% discount on those bottles.

Ribeyes and hangers!!

Grabbed one of each as well. CVC is a great QPR and will allow your Estate bottles to get the age they deserve. Thanks for participating David and Jim!!

Grabbed 4 Estate Syrah and 2 XO Syrah. Thanks for participating!!

Grabbed one.

Add me to this George. I can bring some of the early Ravenswood Zins that were just released.

Top does taste out of the Nicora space but when we were there recently they were out of wine. Do contact them to see if that is still the current status.
Aaron is also making nice wines in Tin City.
Wild card- Giornata in Tin City. All Italian wines that are quite good and affordable. Check them out.

Thanks Frank. If all goes well we will have people coming in from NC, TX and MI this year. Looking forward to it.

Nice. Another awesome beer share coming up. Look forward to seeing you.

EA7A5CC0-CC26-4ACD-BFD2-0085706B2BB5.jpeg Stopped in at Outer Range in Frisco,CO today after skiing. Tried a couple and came home with 2 4pks of Willow IPA Maybe because it was good but also our dog is named Willow! We went there 3 times on our Colorado concert trip. Love their beers and brought 2 ...

I might very well open up a burgundy, later this week but not positive, but would be thrilled to be the first to get the ball rolling for a wonderful cause. Although $20 would likely be fine I went to the site and donated $100 After all it IS the season of giving. You should get out here one of the...

Got a box yesterday from Will congratulating me on new baby with a couple of his 2017s and a card.

Super cool gesture, huge thanks Will.

Now this is so cool!

Does anyone know if Verite or Trinite Estate are in danger? I believe they in the Chalk Hill area. The fire burned right over Chalk Hill, Verité is in the middle of it. No word on whether they or Calluna Estate sustained damage. They had some new construction going on at Verité when I drove by last...

Hoping this isn’t the last time I see this view.

Shit! I am so wishing you, and everyone up there our best. Just sick to my stomach seeing what's going on up there.

My wife and I were talking about going, but then realized we have a wedding that night... although, the wedding is in DTLA... maybe the won't notice if we sneak out... Tix on StubHub are now, shockingly, at $19 so if you want to pop in it won't cost you much. I would rather give them to someone her...

Love to see the NY offline being setup. All of my bottles will go to the almost annual Old Vine offline we do out here in California. Great way to share this great offering.

Thanks for the great retrospective offer Joel!! Quick trigger pulling got the 4 wines I was wanting. All of these will be making appearances at the next couple of Old Vine Offlines that Brian Tuite hosts.

1994 Belloni

I wonder who much of this is just too many grapes as a result of bountiful crops with the drought conditions softening

Along with over-planting. Lots of new or expanded vineyards planted over the past decade.
