I do it when it snows in January each year.

Who knows if this is real or not:

Thanks for this in depth look. I was surprised that the 2014 Once & Future was showing age and you are suggesting to drink up. Seems to be different from what I am hearing and reading from others. May have to take a look at one of mine. Yeah, Steve.....I was a bit surprised that it was showing a bi...

Agree that those tubes look awesome. I would love some for my 1855s as well.

Sounds like a great night.

Just to explain, I don’t think it is mentioned above, Fedex Home is intended to be just that, a service designed to isolate packages which are delivered to residential neighborhoods, and which can often be delivered after normal business hours or on Saturday and/or left without signature. Fedex Gro...

Bummed to hear about the ‘14 Bevan SB Dry Stack. I am pretty sure I have one of those left in the cellar.

My Lacrosse is finally beyond repair. After reading through this thread again, I am planning on ordering a Wireless Tag manager and PIR KumoSensor for cellar temp and humidity monitoring. I’m not worried about door opening but I might throw in a water sensor for the water heater. Thought I would che...

Thanks

Does the 2009 still need a decant?

Surprised to see Wine Library is selling the 2011 Maison Ilan Chambertin Grand Cru. On “sale” for $265.

What is barkeepers friend? I may know someone who could use the tip.

From an idevice you need to use the full editor & preview tab and then go in to attachments tab to the add files button.

12 x 2010 Morlet Family Vineyards "La Proportion Doree"

$45 per bottle, PM is best.

Where are you located?

I got what I thought was a good deal on the 2007 Cab. I’ve had it twice and haven’t been impressed. Not sure how to describe. I think it wanted to be bigger fruit (which I am fine with) but not sure. Still holding on to one which I plan on drinking some time this year. Properly wouldn’t re-buy even ...

Apologize if this has been mentioned, but on the subject of CT integration, I'm loving that there is now a W-S low price button on CT. It doesn't appear to be perfect (frequently that price isn't found in the list if clicked... maybe they offer W-S pro prices while I'm using the normal site?) but I...

Sent a friend there based on this thread. He sent me an email they sent him with tasting notes on all of the wines he bought. Never saw that before from a wine store. Nice touch.

Turn 43 tomorrow: ‘76 SLV ‘76 SLV Lot B ‘76 Cheval Blanc Both Stag’s Leaps led with eucalyptus, but also fairly youthful with plenty of fruit. Lot B slightly more concentrated. Cheval great and improved over time but trailed last night’s mini-horizontal of ‘82 Calon Segur and Certan De May that wer...

Wine-Searcher button always shows. Price shows when their API has a price to return. Vivino button is intended to only show when there is an offer. If for that exact vintage then a price is shown. If for another vintage, no price is shown. Dan is looking at their API some more. He may be showing th...

Eric - Want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Is it:
- button always shows but a price is only shown in the button if they have something to sell, or
- button and price only show when there is something to sell

Steve, feel free to send us a note with examples to support@cellartracker.com or post in OUR support forum. We call their API and pass them our wine name. They are only supposed to come back if they have a match. Eric - I just posted it in the support forum. I am not real familiar with Vivino so I ...

Hi all, yes yesterday afternoon we quietly launched a new feature where we are testing some integration with Vivino. Basically, wherever we used to just render one WHERE TO BUY link to take you to Wine-Searcher, now we potentially will offer two links, one for Wine-Searcher and one for Vivino. We w...

I was also surprised to see this. I like the update were you see the lowest price on Wine Searcher without clicking through.

My daughter is in the Oxford Blind Tasting Society with the authors. While she was always interested in wine, this has taken it to a whole new level. While I have attended blind tastings, it is nothing like what they do. Seems to range from fun to very intense.

We stayed in Reykjavik and did day trips from there. Plenty to see if you are only spending four days. As said above, some of those days will be long. We did organized tours so we didn’t have to rent a car and drive but that will be more expensive and as others have said, it is not a budget consciou...

2016 Loring Santa Lucia Highlands up now.

AG was only 5 for both parts combined.

Recently found the 2013 Montecillo Cabernet on clearance for $75 at a store near me. Didn’t pull the trigger, but has anyone had this vintage and is this a reasonable price?

It was $55 on release. I don’t plan on opening one for at least five more years.

2013 Pagani and 2013 Old Vine Zin. While the Pagani was better, both were fantastic and it was amazing how the OVZ stood up against the Pagani.

Does PayPal give you 2% to the consumer when purchasing? I have Sam's Club card that gives me 5% on different purchases. As the consumer do I have to pay a fee to use it? IF so sounds like a flawed system. If your credit card is tied to the PayPal account, don’t you still get the credit card benefi...

I’ve never been to Suraya but Zahav is great. The off menu tasting menu which includes the signature lamb dish is fantastic.

Borough Market is quite the wonderland for food. Drop into Neal's Yard Dairy to buy some farmhouse British and Irish cheese with top quality bread, butter and relish for a simple dinner-a-deux once you get tired of eating out. Make sure you wet your whistle with a quick pint at one of the Borough p...

Any guidance on the volume of the Liberte and the Cru? Thanks, Andy Chris is on a plane and having a hard time getting a response through so he asked me to post this. I dont know. But if you go to the Grassl site and look at the schematics the red line at the width marker is also roughly a full lin...

Hopefully I snuck my order in before the deadline.
Yes, your order's good. Just 1 more set of mags left and then after that one goes, the website should show it as "sold out" (if I set it up correctly).

Hopefully I snuck my order in before the deadline.

Jim - what percent of whole cluster are in each of these?

It looks like the last ones I bought were from the 2012 vintage. Not sure why I stopped. I always enjoyed his Pinot. I wish him good luck in his next venture as well.

We had a great meal at Saeta Svinid (Sweet Pig) which was a very nice casual gastropub. The lamb shoulder that my wife and daughter had was fantastic.

Pastries at Braud are a must in the morning.

I wish Randy still made wine. I may need to open a Match Cab this week.
Had an ‘05 in December and was spectacular.

I still have a 3L 2005 Baconbrook from the 2014 BerserkerDay auction. Plan to open that some time this year.

2012 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard - after trying a few Kirschenmann, I stopped buying. Morgan just makes too many different wines. After having this tonight, I may need to change that in the future. This was great on PnP. Light and lively with traditional Zin characteristics on ...

NapaCabLover on Instagram opened one tonight. Are they a Berserker?

Blake - Couldn't tell if the Beckmen was just too young or if you thought it will remain as it is. I don't have any of the '15 but have enjoyed it in the past and found it to be a good value for a wine that non-wine drinkers like and that I am fine drinking. Steve, the Beckman was just too young.

In for 4 bottles. First timer and just signed up. Super excited.

But can we talk about the $4 a bottle to ship?

Would you buy the Sonoma Coast for $34 and free shipping?

Steve, that would have been funny to see the reactions at that table. I have to say I felt bad when I saw the face of one of the kitchen staff that was washing dishes when we poured the wine out. It's easy to forget how fortunate we are to be able to eat and drink so well, when others would be thri...

I haven’t had one since last January but a good friend of mine had one a few months ago and said it needed a good hour decant.
