Will be getting the full 110k points with my new Brex account. Last 20k is earned either via setting up payroll or transferring directly from ebay, venmo, and similar.

Easiest 110k in history. No credit pull and since it's a bank account with an attached debit/credit card, no effect to 5/24

i wonder why the price of high end whisky has gone up so much lately, i guess increased demand? I feel like if anything I'm drinking these much less now, but I don't often drink spirits or cocktails at home by myself. most of my wine crew has been drinking more during Covid, whereas if I open 2 bot...

Exactly. why do they say opens at noon and they open earlier? Ridiculous

It didn't specifically say "sold out" at first but there was no option to select "1" for the 3 liter at 11:55a est

Not a bad idea, we use those for groceries, they’re like $10? yes, from walmart. can hold about 18 bottles had looked at Domaine's version but went the cheaper route.

I hope everyone here takes the following comment in the spirit with which I offer it, which is in pure jest. That disclaimer aside, I have to chuckle at the irony of a bunch of wine-geeks who, by 99% of the World's standards, spend way too much money on wine sitting around commenting about the luna...

The current sign up bonus on Jet Blue card with Barclays is very sweet. 50k points for the first $1k, additional 50k for the next $5k. Award availability is a non-issue for JetBlue because the points have a semi fixed value (between $.01 and $.0146 based on one analysis I saw, with mint redemptions...

Come on -- do NOT smoke these steaks! They should have such a unique flavor due to the extended aging. Why cover that up with smoke? That sounds like mixing a great late disgorged Champagne with orange juice. All I'll do is sous vide then sear on cast iron w/ salt and pepper. smoke doesn't cover it...

Just saw that as well! Galloni gave a 97. This is my first time getting an allocation, I will probably get a 3 pack, not sure if there is more offered--and probably will share the allocation with a friend.

think I've only been offered more than 1 x 3 pack once for 2012 vintage.

Does buying M. Etain (or not) affect ones Scarecrow list standing? No effect one way or the other I'm kinda surprised to read this.

I'd bet on a price hike. 2018 WA 98 same as 2012 score. If 2018 retails same as 2012 at $650 and the consign/list cost of 20% looks like flippers will need offer pricing to come in at $500 (incl ship/tax) to break even if it retails at $650. 2012 didn't retail at $650 when it was released.

Bingo. Inevitable bump, but I'll still be buying. They always seem to be just below my passing point, which also goes up each year.

$500 all in. I'm all out

OP needs to correct the op as it is clearly not $100 over release.

then again "above list" doesnt mean anything

Did they ship your wine to you via a common carrier (FedE, UPS) or did they use their own transportation network? If the latter, what you described is fairly standard with most storage facilities. Storage facilities usually charge per box for transportation to and from their facility. Whether that’...
