Speaking of Willet 4 year, is there going to be a five.I have 2,3 and 4.I think I picked up the 4 at least 2-3 years ago, pretty special stuff neat. It looks like they are going to hold at 4yr since it’s their own distillate going forward. Higher age statements will be very limited releases, it cou...

I’ve seen this brand on IG a lot and didn’t get it.... Ray Walker strikes again!!!!!!!

jbray23

This was all the rage in the early ‘00’s, Parker had given them huge scores and they were $15-$25 per bottle depending on the Cuvée, I drank many, they were delicious with a touch of rusticity....

jbray23

Yep. Still can't understand why Ben & Gaye's wines don't get more love than they do. I think people vastly underestimate the aging curve on these wines. And that includes his Coda "declassified barrels" wines. (which are quite possibly the best value of all their wines). The only ones...

Talk to Jason Bray re: Willett. 185 bottles is a lot of bottles ... Late to reply, but yeah Willett ain’t never gonna happen. Sorry all. Yeah, perhaps not for the wineberserker pick, but single barrel picks are available through Willett. My best buddy back home in TN was able to get a Willett barre...

What's everyone's take on Stagg "Jr."? Good stuff? Yes - Believe it was $70 OTD at BevMo. Batch 12 was supposed to be the stuff dreams are made out of, but I didn't get to try that one :D Believe they're on 14 now, and mine should be showing up on the doorstep momentarily! Re: grassy note...

For my lame taste it’s a yes, it’s more of a Cali Cab Bourbon though.... I like it a ton or by the 6 pack!!

Contacted Four Roses today about their Private Barrel program, have not heard back yet.I will contact Elijah Craig and Knob Creek tomorrow.Any other suggestions? Willett.

What I should have added before is that I haven’t had any KW wines past ‘04 and the corks.... The Panther creek wines of ‘90-‘93 were magic and KW winery up to ‘00 was to me, unrivaled... Maresh wines are fairly new, I remember drinking wines made from this vineyard but don’t remember them on the sc...

I have multiple cases of 20+ yr old Oregon Pinot and I’m convinced it’s the best value outside of Loire there is.

And I’ve drank at least 100 aged Oregon Pinot’s and can say that Ken Wright is the best Winemaker out of Oregon....haven’t had anything post ‘08 though

jbray23

From what I've been told and from my understanding everything now is distilled on site, all the different expressions... I'm honestly surprised that people have a reaction to this, most Bourbon isn't what it states to be.....Most Bourbon is just bought on the open market.... And.... Let's look at t...

jbray23

Looking to trade Bourbon/rye, I want to expand my selection for things I haven’t tried before. I have had a couple of offers or conversations around this. I’m trying not to be greedy but these retail for around $124.99, same price as Birthday Bourbon, do I consider this a fair trade? Yes, but I’m no...

I’ve got a couple 5, 6 yr Willett single barrel picks to trade, anyone interested in trading?

jbray23

Even though this thread took quite the detour I'm relieved to see the destination is still in sight. Very much appreciate all the recommendations! I have a lot of reading, researching, and drinking to do! Chris, thank you for the PDX recs as well, will definitely be hitting up Oregon. Bar Ferdinand...

It's been almost a year since I had them when I visited Cavallotto last fall, but my impression is that the '12s are definitely more approachable right now. The '13s need years more in the bottle, but I think when they come around will really be fantastic to drink. I wouldn't recommend opening a '1...

KLWM is doing the same stuff with Roulot. The retailers I know are disgusted by their shameless ploy to drastically reduce long time customers' allocations until they start buying tons of other overpriced offerings they're peddling. There's smart, fair business and there's slimy business and they h...

I would be a buyer in these days, jon is going to get a lot of great deals and they are only going to get better... not a person to hype at all, just saying jon gets great deals based on the fact he can move VOLUME....I sent in for 6, wtf, Barolo for $14.. no brainer. Cheaper than a Nebbiolo..

I’m not standing up for Kermit here but I would’nt be surprised if this wasn’t coordinated effort of KM and Coche.

Run-up like Juge, the market better appreciating the incredible quality of this winery plus the anticipated changing of the guard. Given that coupled with the current economic uncertainty, and I’d be surprised if 2015 comes out higher. I expect it to be around the same plus maybe 5%. Pure speculati...

I see I paid $69 for the 2008, on May 6th 2009. Helluva deal I told myself at the time, global financial crisis be damned. A warning of caution in 2020, as I am still waiting on Premier Cru to deliver! I am fearful that there will be many more wine businesses that go under and will ultimately not d...

Geez, sorry, I didn’t know that you had to let

Yep. Sucks. Still love Max and his son, Andy. Great source of top quality, great value Bourbon, BIB, and Rye.

If you get any allocation of DRC then price isn’t a matter and you’re not getting gouged if you pay the price... Of course price matters. It's the same reason that list prices on US wineries matter.

His wines are crap, all marketing, they should sell for a quarter of the price they do. But good for him for making a ton of money.
