I remember going there a bunch in the late '90s. Had an incredible Rhone assortment, all the great names and years, both Northern and Southern Rhones, at prices that were below then current auction, well below. Drank all the great stuff, highlights were the '78 Northern Rhones (I think both Jaboulet...

Roumier Rousseau De Vogue Jadot Fourrier Perrot-Minot Arnoux Chave Groffier G. Conterno That's about 31% of my cellar. Not much of a change from 5 or 10 years ago. I think the reason isn't because I continue to buy these wines in quantity (that's not the case. They were so reasonable 20 years ago, n...

I bid on 9 lots of Barolo/Barbaresco. Was the under-bid on 2, missed 3 others by a little, missed the other 4 by a country mile. None for me..

Peter Hirsch

I'd had some of this (Leewin Art Series) back in the '90s and maybe even early '00s. And then forgot about them. This thread got me to think about them again. I bought some '16 and got around to trying last night. Wow that's good stuff. The flintyness and overall aromatics reminded me of some of the...

Peter Hirsch

I put a couple in my wine cellar. Been pulling them out and using during the Covid. They last so long, zero worries. I've gone through 2 of them since early March. Delicious.

Peter Hirsch

I thought the '05s were great, and really good AM reviews as well...

Peter Hirsch

Great thread, I forgot that one (even though I have 2-3 posts in it).

For old time sake, I have a $900 bid for the 3 bottles.

Peter Hirsch

I love both hot dogs and brats.
Big fan of the KC Cattle Company.
Both the dogs and brats.
Delicious.

A little bit of a thread drift, though the above is interesting. I've long thought that about the greatest value in high end luxury experiences is food in great restaurants. It's too cheap, relative to other high end luxury experiences. For the food portion, for one person, a great restaurant can't ...

Peter Hirsch

I have a bunch, happy to either sell or trade you a bottle, just no idea how to do the transfer in the new 'Covid' world?

Peter Hirsch

Flatiron basically in Chelsea and they have a good champagne assortment.

Peter Hirsch

Flatiron NY has a 5L of 1989 Chateau Margaux for $7,000. Would be pretty tasty!!

Peter Hirsch

Any new 100/300 codes for Wine.com? I've used all the ones mentioned here (last one on 7/10), also my wife has done same.

All very good deals with the free shipping, 33% off from coupon and 10% off from RMN factored in. All crappy prices w/o...

FYI, RMN has 14% for wine.com right now.

Yep. Hoping to combine with new coupons!!

Peter Hirsch

I've used all the Wine.com coupons mentioned above. Any fresh ones?? 50/150 or pref for 150/300!!!

Peter Hirsch

Maxed my allocation and very happy to do so.

Peter Hirsch

I'd rather buy 1998. Trades around $500 or $600 all in at auction. 21 years along in development vs the 2019. Good point, except that this may be the most monolithic concentrated Lafleur I have encountered. The tannins are powerful, and hope the fruit outlasts it. I own it, haven't tried it. It sit...

Waiting for retailmenot to have a link to wine.come for cashback. That seemed to end in June. Maybe comes back later this month...

Maybe easier to start with the Vineyard and Producer, separately and then figure out the producer for the vineyard?

Vineyard For me
Amoureuses
Cras
Fuees
Combe d'Orveau
For the 5th, I could be talked into a lot, but I'll go for Charmes.

Producer For me.
Roumier
Mugnier
Barthod
Clavelier

I've used Seabrook Export Services (www.seabrookexports.com) and had zero issues. Used them for 20 years.

Back in the days before the internet ('80s, '90s), their monthly newsletter with wine offerings was a must read / must order. And I would always stop off at the SF store when on a trip to the Left Coast as so many things never made it to the newsletter. Those were more fun days for wine collecting, ...

Peter Hirsch

Anyone else have any $50/$150 or $100/$300 coupons not already mentioned? It's the weekend, time to buy more wine!

Personally, I'm following them with interest and will be curious to see where they get to in another two decades.

Got what appears to be a wine.com coupon that is not in this thread yet:

PW50FB - 50 off 150

thanks. Just used it.

Peter Hirsch

Thanks Peter. For the last couple of years do you see a trend or is it mixed? I think mixed. I've had good ones, great ones, bad ones recently. Like other Burg vintages, though maybe this one is more variable. One thing I find interesting is if you look on CellarTracker and do a search for 2003 Bur...

Peter Hirsch

I just checked CT. Over the last 14 years I've had 81 bottles of 2003 red Burgundy. Sure some variation, some clunky wines, some with the heat signature. But much more often really tasty wine that shows vineyard and region characteristics. I, for one, am happy at the number of collectors who bypass...

Peter Hirsch

Except for a few bottles here and there, Aubert is pretty much the only white wine I buy outside of Burgundy, and my white Burgundy purchases have really slowed down over the last decade (PremOx is alive and well).

Peter Hirsch

Sounds like it's a good idea to load the boat with 1999, 2002, 2005.

Peter Hirsch

Tend to agree Peter, compare the price of this to Vietti Rocche or Aldo Conterno Romarisco, definitely seems like a good price, but I did note the '13s had jumped a fair bit. I hadn't noticed, I stopped buying Barolo with the 2010 vintage. I like Barolo with some decent age on it and pushing 60 now...

Peter Hirsch

Just seems like it should trade a little closer to Bartolo Mascarello, Cappellano 'Rupestris', Conterno's 'Cascina Francia', Giuseppe Rinaldi. Such a deep discount to these producers, seems like good value... Tend to agree Peter, compare the price of this to Vietti Rocche or Aldo Conterno Romarisco...

Close to my favourite Barolo producer.

And relative to the quality, very well priced. No idea why the Riserva bottles don't trade at a much higher price, like other 'traditionalists'?

Peter Hirsch

72 total producers, but if I limit to 1% of the total or higher that drops to 33. I was an active buyer from the mid-90s on, but my final vintage was 2012. I have not a single bottle of Red Burg from 2013 or forward in my cellar, and 2011-2012 only represent about 2% of my Red Burgs. So 98% is 2010 ...

Peter Hirsch

Same issue here. I drink maybe 2-4 of these bottles a year, only when friends who really like the stuff come over. I own (according to CT) 160 bottles of sauternes / tokaji / port / madeira. Amazingly this is way way way down from a decade ago when I had close to 500 bottles. Over the last decade I ...

Peter Hirsch

All opened over the last week. Bottle #1 - PremOx Bottle #2 - PremOx Bottle #3 - PremOx Bottle #4 - This one proper. Some matchstick, color still light, etc. Not the longest or most intense finish. Say 93 points. Bottle #5 - PremOx Bottle #6 - PremOx 1 good bottle out of a 6-pack. Seems still some P...

Down 6% on the calendar year. Moving on down!

Peter Hirsch

Parantoux to the right, Reignots to the left and right above Richebourg. Hard to get a better location.

Peter Hirsch

I saw Alan's offer for the 1997 vintage, thought someone might like a tasting pair?

1 bottle, 1998 Roumier 'Musigny'. Usual caveats, I'll UPS overnight to the lower 48 states. $9,000

Before this heads to Politics. Here's the GOAT explaining why the 'Rich' are not 'hoarding' money.

I ordered one each of the '09 and '10 Ruchottes Chamb and the GC Champerrieres. Gonna open all 4 within the next 2 weeks and will report back results. Would be nice to find a 'relatively' inexpensive source of some quality Burg (but so unlikely!!) You never reported back! Huh. I have no idea! I loo...

when I do my Atkins diet version, any alcohol shuts off weight loss for 2-3 days regardless of carb count. Just not worth it. Same thing. My only way to lose weight is to take alcohol to zero. I did that from 1/1 to 2/18, only drank on 6 of those days and half of those days were 2 bourbon days (few...

As of March 8th.
Down 4.9% on the year.
Goal is down 6% on the year, so well on the way.
This will be down approximately 40% over 7 years.
Still too much...

I have a solid wood case (12 bottles) of 2009 Le Dome. Purchased as a future and delivered to me back in 2012 in London, I shipped it in March 2013 to the US (no issues with temp) and it's been in my offsite wine cellar ever since. I'll never get to this as I'm still working through my '90s bordeaux...
