As for larger DRC formats R. Oesterle posted "Romanée-Conti 2005 75cl: 4'785 Magnum: 300 Jéroboam: 10 Mathusalem: 8 Total: 5489 Fl. where is this information from? Is it possible to get the break-up for all DRC and all vintages? Thanks, Karl Very difficult. I have the numbers for 2005 —> 2008 ...

Hi everyone- I have a friend who insists that Napa Cabs are the greatest wines on the planet and of course so many people go nuts for them. I haven't explored them in depth because I have typically not been a fan of the big extracted Napa style, and the high prices dissuaded experimentation. I like...

I looked back and the pricing on the 2015 CSJ cellar door pricing that I was shown was 132.90 € HT.
The CdlR was approximately fifty € less.

Friends, Each year I have a small allocation of CHAMBERIN, CLOS de BEZE, CLOS ST JACQUES, RUCHOTTES, CLOS de LA ROCCHE and CAZETIERS at the domaine itself. I have beeen a client there since 1991 and haven't missed one single year. Wouldn't want to miss it and prices CHEZ ROUSSEAU are far more reaso...

Jeb needs to move the needle to 110 points to differentiate further.

A lone bottle of Selosse Etait Une Fois.

Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, until recently La Grand Rue... (btw: "recently" was 30 years ago ...) I agree with Cros Parantoux, but Malconsorts is imho not superior to Beaumonts nor to Brulees ... not even considering 2 to 3 fine producers besides the 2-3 underachievers. So in your opinio...

$95--/half bottle.
A few cases are available.

that's insane. what's the typical delivery time on that?

Ships Friday our time, delivers Monday morning HK time.

JP Jamet’s Fructus Voluptus bottling should be under €60– over there.

Add Bott to the list.

And Brexit is going to throw a wrench into that shipment shortly.

FYI, I recently had 5 cases of wine shipped from France to UK for 48€. The ridiculous US shipping costs are another byproduct of the Prohibition Mafia regime. That is pretty cheap considering the VAT is 8€ alone. Also, you have to remember, the distance from Paris to London is like Indianapolis to ...

So if someone requests something to be shipper directly to a fedex office that’s cheaper for the shipper? No residential surcharge. That said, not sure if most retailers/wineries are breaking down the shipping charges to that extent. They probably have a baseline charge and if it goes to a business...

And small businesses die from sentiments like yours. But at least you go to the gym. I’ve run into a number of places charging $20/btl to ship ground. Do you think that’s reasonable? If you are ordering single bottles or even two, then yes. A 12/bottle shipper(pulp) costs us $6.00. A 1 or 2 bottle ...

Ah, didn’t even know! Thanks. Can someone give me a quick rundown on the capsule color differences for Faurie? Since inevitably this lead to me buying some From Kermit: Greffieux & Bessards = cream Bessards & Méal = gold Méal = gold with m Bessards = red On some of the above there is a lot ...

I'm sure. We try to stay at Relias and Chateaux property when possible, but we'd really like a place with a Pool and somewhat "quaint" feeling while still being close to Beaune. L'Hotel is great as well. But, there is not a pool and I am not sure if any hotel "in" Beaune has a p...

A zillion options, but my personal preference is Levernois.

Mixed Cases: Gueuze (2 x 750ml) Kriek (2 x 750ml) Rosé de Gambrinus (2 x 750ml) Grand Cru Broucsella (2 x 750ml) Saint Gilloise (2 x 750ml) Iris (2 x 750ml) $550--/mixed case x six cases. These are all recent bottlings. Also, there are many additional bottles from older releases, please inquire for ...

Prices only going up. Wholesale 2018 Drouhin at $850, Vogue $750. Nuts. The smart money is on Tawse regardless of where his plots reside. A commonality, both are imported by Dreyfus Ashby, which is owned by the Drouhin family. There is also tariff $$ in that figure. Drouhin is substantially cheaper...

Vogüé is the Ponsot of Musigny.

Some relatively fresh faces here producing vibrant wines. Michel Autran (Vouvray) 2014 Cap a l’ouest: $25--/bottle Thomas Batardière (Anjou) 2016 Amor Fati (Grolleau): $24--/bottle 2016 Anjou Clos des Cocus: $30--/bottle 2016 Anjou L'Esprit Libre: $24--/bottle 2017 Anjou L'Esprit Libre: $24--/bottle...

Five years ago I moved. They never responded to my change of address. So, I was in the area and I stopped in their office one day to change my address. Never received an offer again. Are they just inept or do they simply not care? They do not care. They send additional wine to distribution rather t...

What is the “right price”?

I have had three friends in France test positive in the last three weeks.
One in Lyon, one in Paris, and one in a small town in Savoie.

The surge is real.

I have bottles of both vintages and am in Napa.
PM me if you like.

Thread is Absurd.

I don't think I have yet experienced a Jura white that was strongly reminiscent of Burgundy. Even when topped up they still seem to have their own character. I've had this wine in the cooler 2013 vintage and it was markedly sour with some borderline unripe fruit expression - I could find some appea...

Good ol' days were when you could drink DRC at restaurants for their standard markup over wholesale and thereby drink 'em cheaper than retail Still relatively easy in France (they will still be there when we can travel again). I see Corton under €600– regularly. Echezeaux is pretty prevalent under ...

Agreed, great wine.

Add 1983 Pichon Lalande to the list.

Most older Chevillon are in that price range.

Jealous.

I am planning to visit them next time I am in Portugal.

CLB is almost always open and delicious young. I have no idea how the current wines will age, but for the most part, who cares? They're so delicious now. I've had a couple disjointed ones, but that's unusual - for the most part, they're just absolutely delicious young. So true. Louis Michel likes h...

Nick, you are quoting prices from Kermit's Berkeley retail store versus retail in Illinois (brought in by a distributor). As has been mentioned above, the latter price should always be considerably less unless the distributor and/or retailer is taking a huge margin. The OP's question is whether KLW...

I mentioned this in the other thread, but additional warning signs are: * No big end-of-quarter coupon code push for Q3. The previous 3 quarters have all had massive coupon code campaigns to drive additional user acquisitions and sales. This one was relatively tame by comparison * Inventory on the ...

I was offered Chaillot and Reynard three weeks ago.
They exist.

Alan,
You have been searching for 2014 Ramonet for months, if not years.

Did you really think that some random place had a case at thirty percent below market value?

Not sure I understand the vitriol towards “cherry-picking”. Why you should buy wines you don’t want to get wines you do want at somewhat lower prices? I think that is important to realize that Rosenthal just cannot buy MSD 1er VV and CdlR from Lignier. They buy across the board and thus need to sel...

Is New Sammy’s Cowboy Bistro still standing in Talent? Fondly recalling impeccably cellared Egly Ouriet Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Rouge 1996, Chave Hermitage Rouge 1989, & Le Gallais Wiltinger braune Kupp Auslese 1988 for a grand total of less than $500 on last visit. At least part of the cel...

This is not necessarily a firm offer as I am trying to understand the parameters of your trade “metric”, but would you consider a 2012 Allemand Chaillot and Reynard an equitable trade for the five bottles?

Charlie, did he make sans soufre in 2003? he did not. Thanks. Wondering which 2003 that Winebid currently has is. No designation. Just Cornas. No separation of the climat in 2003. Thierry opened a bottle of this when I visited in 2015. It was very good and surprisingly vibrant considering the warmt...

Perhaps I do not understand the business, but it seems to me that there is a difference between an internet or brick and mortar retailer wildly inflating the price to what the market will bear vs. the U.S. importer doing the same. The importer has been chosen to represent the producer and usually, ...

Agreed, and just changed protocols with the warehouse where I store wine. They are going to open every case of Taittinger, and I am having all the cases I bought in London opened before they leave the U.K. To be honest, I am really pissed at this. The cases should be opened for applying strip label...

$2400--/three bottle case (*sold*)
$1725--/magnum (4 - individual cases)
$4200--/double magnum (1 - individual case)

3x 1986 Beychevelle 1x 1934 Clos Vougeot from Château Couronné Malvoisin, a Mâconnais négociant label that doesn't exist anymore. Some of those old southern Burgundy négoce did a great job back in the day (Piat, for example), so this might be interesting. I was offered a few bottles of 1964 Roussea...

Twelve x 1990 Marcel Lapierre Morgon.

That capsule is not correct on the Leroy as well.
It has a sheen to it as well as it looks new.

And the ullage on the 1979 Lafleur is pretty unrealistic.

There have been some bottles going around with the vineyards misspelled on the back label, i.e. Pugelles instead of Pucelles.
Including these.
