Not sure if any of you Envoyer fans ever dealt with Scott Kulek over there, but he has started his own wine retail/import project that appears to be running on the same business model Greg uses. The website is:

Full website is supposed to be up shortly, but for now it's just a newsletter sign up form.

First offer was Bereche et Fils Champagne ‘Brut Reserve’ $39.99. Price seems in-line with on-line pricing. I'm not familiar with Bereche, but I know Scott tends to like the same kind of stuff we like, so am tempted. Anyone else an early adopter?

[YLee]

I will signup. Thx.

[AD Northup]

Signed up but no confirmation e-mail...should I try it again?

[Troy Stark]

I don't think I got a confirmation email when I signed up.

[YLee]

More ways for me to go broke. Ha!

Exactly!

Offer #2 Pierre Boisson 2014 Meursault $79.99

[YLee]

Gonna pass on that. ETA winter of 2020. Too far out for me.

[Troy Stark]

Definitely a long wait

Seems like a great deal on the 2010 LdH Cubillo just sent out.

How much?? Paid $26 locally, fantastic QPR and might even be better than the 2008 Cubillo.

18.99 each on 3 or more

[joeduncan]

Yup, 18.99 each vs what seems to be a "good price going rate" of $25 (k&l, b-21).

[AlexS]

Thx guys

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

Not bad, $20 from empire wine

[joeduncan]

Grabbed a couple of the Champagne just sent out: 2014 Laherte Freres Champagne ‘Les Grandes Crayeres’ Blanc de Blancs

Sounds interesting and $60 vs $80-100 on WS.

I was tempted to buy more but already bought a few bottles of that exact wine from Down to Earth Wines at $59.

[AD Northup]

I’m in for some

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

I was in on the Jamet

[joeduncan]

This is killing me

2 Lumpp 1er Crus... <$40

[Peter Petersen]

I was in on the Jamet

Price?

Price?

It was same price as other stores you can find elsewhere and I think their '16 was $10 more than lowest WS.

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

16 was $5 less than WS pro low. 15 was marginally more but the only place that lists it is plum market which ships to relatively few places.

I’ve worked w Scott for a few years at envo tee so I’m happy to give him my business.

[Charlie Carnes]

Signed up, awaiting offers...

[Frank Murray III]

Me, too.

[Warren Taranow]

Me three

[EHeffner]

Grabbed some of the Marguet shaman rose 2015 and the Ambonnay rose 2014. Good pricing

[YLee]

Got 8 bottles of mixed stuff.

[Frank Murray III]

I have bought a lot of 2014 Marguet this year, so putting in a vote of confidence that these wines are going to be spot on, based on how I have found the limited work with the previous vintages. Exciting producer to me, for sure.

[josh bryer]

Haven’t bit on anything yet but, that’s mostly because I’ve been on an epic tear and need to press pause. Was definitely tempted by the dujac offer though....

[Russ Williams]

Nice offering of the 2014 Marguets. I couldn’t help but grab a mixed 6-pack. Pricing was very good.

[Troy Stark]

Was severely tempted on the Jamet mags...

[YLee]

So was I. If it wasnt a mag I would have bought it.

[Peter Valiquette]

I bit on Alain Graillot, Crozes-Hermitage "La Guiraude" offer.
