How about the 2019 Austrian vintage? What have people been hearing?

It is supposedly "Legendary"

YLee

Single zone anything else is useless and waste of money.

YLee

I didnt find 2016 capbern that interesting 1 year ago. For the price I preferred Dame de Montrose.

YLee

Makes excellent white and red

YLee

Hmmmm.....I wonder how that happens. I have 8 six packs. Opened 3 so far and all good. Now I feel like checking the others but I'm probably too lazy. This is why I always open packages when they arrive, even if it is just to seal them back up and bury them. You never know. Mistakes happen +1 Only h...

2017 Ramonet Chassagne Montrachet Clos de la Boudriotte. Not sure there’s a better $75 burg out there.

Thats a great price for the non-rouge

YLee

Sounds great!
Recently bought some '15 for $18.
Maybe I will open it tonight.

Sherry Lehmann is selling Paul bara Brut 2007 for $40. No shipping for orders $100+. Didn’t charge me sales tax either.

Now that all HDH auction winnings have to be picked up in Delaware, wouldn't that significantly depress bidding?

You can send them a shipping label.

There’s a real problem for Taittinger with Comtes. Quality is high and production is reasonably big (well over a large Bordeaux estate). The wine is only sold to winos and restaurants. Never in airplanes (back when they were still a thing - imagine how much DomP Emirates got through daily pre-covid...

Today is the last day to double dip with the Amex offer. $30 off on a $100 order.

Which shop?

YLee

Mike and William is making me want to increase my purchase on the '08 taittinger

YLee

Goodjob. They really need to be investigated. I dont understand how they are getting away with this for so long.

YLee

Only 3 shops but Ws pro shows $195+ worldwide. Wow.

No meaning and no purpose

I agree with Wes, the question is strange.

I like wine. So I drink it. That's all.

I like to read. I like chocolate. I like to garden. I like to travel. I like to visit friends. No deeper meaning to any of those either.

I think I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to use anymore of these coupons. I've used every one in the thread and am honestly out of ideas of what to buy.

Spent enough money past year to buy a house. Need to seriously slow down.

YLee

Very good shop. Highly rec. One of the easiest shop to buy from. They know customer service.

YLee

I'm going to guess 2020 is going to be a superior vintage and due to covid still rampant prices wont be high as '15 and '16.

YLee

I use the Android version. No issues.

YLee

I guess nobody got the $25 referral bonus?
I actually did refer a legit new member but havent seen my bonus.

YLee

William, have you tasted the 2007 Rayas (rouge) and what do you think of it? Yes, it's a bit out-of-whack these days, and I wouldn't open my own bottles for a while. The fact that e.g. 2003 turned out very well in the end gives me confidence to just forget my bottles. That said, I'm more and more c...

You would have to drop a bomb on VWW to even have a chance of your collection being impacted. It's a former supermarket warehouse. Reinforced concrete. Of course they have temp control but it stays naturally cool most of the year. The only scenario as Michael probably described to you is accidental...

YLee

merci pour la note

YLee

Crush wines should have it

YLee

This wine is high-toned floral, some petrichor, somewhat gamey with very delicious red fruit. Silky mouth feel with nice tannins. Beautiful wine to drink now with structure to age. Jouan is a producer you should have in your cellar. Killer QPR.

YLee

"Refer your friends" has no mention or implication they need to be new wine.com customers so nothing "necessary" there at all. So I disagree. [cheers.gif] So if it is referring an exist member. What are you referring them to? A good deal? [berserker.gif] I admit it. You got me there. Lol.

YLee

"Thanks for shopping with Wine.com. Refer your friends and we'll send you $25 off for every valid referral." Nothing in there about new customers. Is it unethical to use more than one of these referrals? I wasn't able to but I don't think it's unethical. We're internet "friends". They put those lin...

YLee

Mine is arriving today as well but man.... this heat! I might end up getting cooked sour juice instead.

YLee

If you are buying a lot EP I feel it makes more sense to buy from UK or Fra. Especially if the wines you choose are over 14% abv

YLee

Has anyone dealt with filing a claim and can provide either good or not so good experience?

YLee

Vcc is a pass for me. You may regret this; VCC is repricing itself as its reputation rises. Even at $236, it is still a buy. Im sure I will but I need to slow down on wine purchases. I have way too many now and Im the only one usually drinking. However, I did buy a lot of '14 vcc for $130 recently....

YLee

Vcc is a pass for me.

This is a $35 bubbly, farmed organically. Sweet spot. This is the 4th bottle I have had, and although the disgorgements vary, the wine stands up every time. This was the best bottle so far.

I've actually had very pleasurable experiences with the 2002 D Rion Ech. And if it doesnt reach the heights of some others, it isnt priced like them either. But on the flipside, the Echezeaux is generally more than twice the price of the Beaux Monts chez Rion. I can't see it as the smart play in th...

YLee

Someone above mentioned he bought 2 cases for $1/bottle. Lol

YLee

Everything everyone has said is what I thought. Just wanted to see why he would tell me that. Thanks everyone for your input and confirming what I believed.

Why would you pay for insurance that only covers one box of wine? Speaking of - I should probably insure mine. I'm so used to homeowners insurance covering what I have at home that I forgot about the stuff I have offsite - where do you go to get this kind of insurance? His reasoning was that typica...

YLee

I was told by an offsite storage manager to insure the average value of 1 box. Should I follow his advice or should I be insuring the total value of all the wines stored at my offsite? I know there were incidents in the past with theft at some storage sites but I store my wines at Vintage Wine Wareh...

I was under the impression that RMN maxed out at $50 cash back for the entire offer, I.e. the 20% back on Wine.com that expires tomorrow. I already made one purchase and at ~$300 I maxed out that $50. Has anyone confirmed with RMN that it’s actually $50 per purchase using the same offer? I confirme...

I have ordered A LOT of wine using the referral codes. What is the worst case scenario here? They charge us full price for the orders?

How much is a lot?

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.

Great choice on the Merry Edwards!

YLee

Confirmed with retailmenot that it is max of $50 per purchase. I will go with cashback instead of MR points. Award charts are always degraded over time and partnerships could always be removed.

Can one use a referral code in addition to a 50/150 coupon? Or is it one or the other?

Thanks

One code per order

Here is my referral if anyone wants to use it.

Just opened mine an hour ago. Definitely needs to be at cellar temp (or dare I say, close to room temp) to really shine right now. I find it pretty austere at the moment.

Happy Anniversary!

YLee

I like my champs a bit warmer side like 65 degrees. Open, take sip and Air for 30min or so. Drink. Sometimes I even put them in a decanter and back in to bottle.
