I know this thread is all red wine discussion, but I wanted to give a plug for their white wine as well. I bought some Massican Annia and Brokenwood Semilion, both highly rated and great white wines, for about 30% off with different discounts and Amex offer. Add in free shipping and these prices are...

Opened a #23 Chardonnay last night and it was great! This won’t last long in our house, I would consider buying more if I see it on the site again. I know I shouldn’t have, but curiosity got the best of me and I opened my first bottle of #37 Viognier this week as well. What a mess that wine is, I kn...

Benjg

Another positive vote for #63 Riesling. Tasting great two days after delivery. This case won’t last long, just like #16 Sauv Blanc.

On the Tablas Creek website they describe using 3 different grapes in the final blend. My guess is that #55 is excess juice of one of 3 varietals or a blend in much different percentages. de Negoce N.55 2019 Paso Robles Rose : 76% Grenache, 19% Mourvedre, 5% Counoise. 13.2% alc. Like I said in the ...

We have opened a couple of the 55 rosés so far and I’ve got some thoughts... Believed to be from Tablas Creek possibly the Patelin de Tablas rosé based on the retail price matching Cam’s description. I’m a Tablas Creek member and drank a number of Patelin de Tablas rosés this summer and I can tell y...

LOL, with the rather insane turn this conversation has taken today, I doubt Cam will be popping by here much anymore. This thread is off the rails. This!!! Odds of Cameron popping back on are near zero which is too bad. It would be fun to get a little insight into the business and possibly have som...

Has anyone gotten so frustrated with the shipping debacle that they’ve thrown up their hands and cancelled their orders? The tone of this thread has gotten much more negative lately and understandably so with expectations not being met. I’m curious to see if a rise in order cancellations would move ...

I've got two cases coming from winebid, stuff I bought earlier this year and the free storage is up, so getting that shipped. I have shipments from MacDonald, Realm, Myriad, and Carlisle all coming in the next week as well, and now the 10 De negoce cases are starting to come. My wife expressed her ...

Ok, for all of you who have been asking 'who's updated the spreadsheet'. I started with a spreadsheet, and then decided there might be a better solution for us to organize info and collaborate. https://denegociants.com/ This is a personal project and work in progress (it’s been in progress for mont...

I think all y’all with shipping issues should definitely boycott the Pinot sampler release...

Benjg

I think this is Ryan Leaf’s WA wine, not Drew Bledsoe

Benjg

Any intel on WA Echoes in the Canyon cab? I’ve got one in my cart, just wondering if anyone has tried it. Thanks!

Benjg

I get the feeling that UPS forced Cameron to start shipping soon. Based on the email it looks like UPS wasn’t ready or willing to ship thousands of cases in one shot. This is better than having the wine sit in a UPS warehouse for who knows how long before they could get it on a truck.

Benjg

Same scenario for me, scheduled delivery of yesterday, box showed up today. Very weird that it’s happening to lots of people.

Benjg

I think the first couple Washington wines will be the next great deals. Until those are released, I will hold off on buying. I’m 9 cases in and that’s enough until the Washington wines. I think we will see a $180 for $15 or something close with those first Washington offers.

Benjg

$300??? Must be good stuff

Benjg

Got on the chat last night around 10pm and was number 4 in the queue. Still took roughly 30 minutes, but finally got through to CS. Long story short, most of my order placed a few weeks ago were wines that were already sold out when I placed the order. CS canceled the order and gave me a $100 credi...

I signed up for the de negoce emails like a month ago and have already seen something like 8 offers. is there really enough people out there buying a case a week to sell through all these? how many cases of California Bordeaux varieties do people need? Ha! Welcome to the thread champagne.gif

Benjg

Bought... I just bought some tablas creek wines this week and I think they are great!

Benjg

Thanks to tips on this board I bought a mixed case of Navarro Vineyards wines. A few Pinot’s, rosés and a variety of whites. Looking forward to trying all these!

Benjg

I’ve have the opposite problem with wine.com.

Placed an order last week and the charge posted on my credit card, just looked after reading this thread and the charge has disappeared from my credit card. Now I’m not sure if these wines will ship or if they were even purchased???? What a mess

Benjg

Keep in mind that from March through November, we refer to it as PDT and EDT, not PST or EST. It is currently Daylight Time (PDT, MDT, CDT, EDT) not Standard Time (PST, MST, CST, EST). Get it? From November to March, have all the ESTs and PSTs you like, but not now. Sorry to butt in and sound somewh...

Come on $40 for $8 rosé!

Benjg

Having a concept album tonight and I agree with what’s already been said, great wine!

Benjg

I had the wine access deal through my Marriott Amex, someone else said it was through their Hilton Amex. I have two different Amex cards with different offers on both cards, although some offers overlap including the wine access. No idea how Amex decides which offers to designate to each card.

Benjg

I bought 32, I like the description of soft tannins and drinkability right away, plus I’m cheap and like the $12 price point. Not as concerned about the source as a lot of people here, but I think this will be a great wine for me.

Benjg

So does anyone know if the fires are anywhere near Cameron’s storage facility????

Not trying to downplay the serious impact these fires will have on many people in Northern California and my heart goes out to all affected, just trying to move this thread in another direction.

Benjg

thanks for the details on the AmEx offer, I was just able to take advantage of it - got (10) Stay Home Cabs (an even $200 bucks), with an instant $50 off orders of $200 or more, plus another $50 credit back on my AmEx - hard to beat that deal, $10/btl shipped! (and no tax here in OR) Nice! champagn...

Benjg

Called my guy at Screaming Eagle and demanded that they bulk some wine out to Cameron. Be on the lookout for a Cab in the OG N.50-60 range described as a “screamin” deal...

Benjg

Does anyone know if the AMEX $50 offer is still running? I cant see it in the list at amexoffers.com for my Amex Delta Skymiles card? Am I too late? I have a delta card and a Marriott bonvoy Amex and the wine access offer only came up on my Marriott card, not the sky miles. I’ve noticed that both c...

Benjg

Got the offer through AMEX for $50 off $150 and purchased a couple Massican Annia magnums and a bottle of Stay Home cab.

I’ve never had Massican wine, but based on the recent California whites thread I’ve been reading it sounds like this was a good choice.

Benjg

Hey Cameron, my wife needs rosé!!

Benjg

I’ve bought 4 cases so far and just got the “b” team email... all 3 wines are available

What!?! Everyone knows that $10 for a $400 cab is way too much!!! Hard pass!

Benjg

My attitude on these releases is that they are $10-$15 daily drinkers with a fun story that hopefully are great value at these prices. If I was hoping for $100 bottles with every release I think I would probably be disappointed, but I’ve got lower expectations and hopefully will be pleasantly surpri...

Did anyone else notice that OG 9 Carmel Valley Pinot Noir was for sale this morning for a couple hours? As soon as I heard #25 was for sale I put “OG” in the search and the first thing that popped up was #9. Maybe a few extra cases?

Benjg

OG 26 “Liquid Sex” sold out quickly. I notice that the description changed significantly on the website vs the email.

Any ideas on the source of OG 23 and 24?
