Buzz is already out. I’m holding steady so far though tempted twice. Confess in this thread when your holdout breaks and you succumb to your first 2021 purchase.

#2 Post by **R. Frankel** » January 2nd, 2021, 1:21 pm

Heck yea. 37 hours in and no buying. I might make it to Monday. 2019 Burgundy is going to break me though.

Out! 12 bottles V-18 Val Vilaine.

My goal is to make it to Berserkers Day! So far so good.

#5 Post by **Ed Steinway** » January 2nd, 2021, 1:24 pm

I definitely will not make it past Berserker Day!

Whenever Maybach releases, that’s the day. I’ll try to hold out until then, but, who am I kidding, it’ll be well before that...

I put in an order yesterday....

#8 Post by **Mark Y** » January 2nd, 2021, 1:31 pm

Uh... bought some yesterday as well...

#9 Post by **Andrew K.** » January 2nd, 2021, 1:32 pm

Orders yesterday and today. Did better in Dec...

I held out until about 6pm on January 1st. Yay, me.

January 2nd, 2021, 1:35 pm

11 hours. That's how long it took me.

Jan 1st I bought some Chablis because I waited all month of December. I vowed not to buy wine in December (except for 4 bottles of Champagne I got for gifts).

HenryB · #13 Post by **HenryB** » January 2nd, 2021, 1:47 pm

5th of Jan - farr sale..

January 2nd, 2021, 1:51 pm

So far so good, though I'm not counting the order placed in December which will be paid for this month, since the weakness occurred last year.

I’m not counting my order on Dec. 31, 11:55 pm.

That means I’m good for at least another few minutes.

So is this a test to see how long each of us may remain the master of our own domaine? If so, so far I have refrained from indulging.

More 2019 Germans?

As Kramer said: "I'm out!"

Already have. Quevedo in the Douro.

#20 Post by **Dale Bowers** » January 2nd, 2021, 2:28 pm

Ordered 6 '08 Comtes, but on the 31st so I'm still "master of my domain."

Some. Also some 2018s (all Willi Schaefer)

I'm also looking to backfill on 2015s this year, as this is our wedding anniversary and when doing inventory on CT I noticed I don't have nearly enough.

Im in a wine shop

#23 Post by **Max S.** » January 2nd, 2021, 2:33 pm

I made it 37 hours.

#24 Post by **Mattstolz** » January 2nd, 2021, 2:40 pm

at 12:00 on New Years I kissed my wife, and at 12:01 I saw 2010 La Rioja Alta 904 on Envoyer. that was as long as it lasted.

RickieM · #25 Post by **RickieM** » January 2nd, 2021, 3:16 pm

Until 2022. That's my New Year's resolution. Have too much on hand right now.

#26 Post by **Luca Giupponi** » January 2nd, 2021, 3:21 pm

So far so good. The goal is to last until Berserker Day but I’m not holding my breath....

(I did buy a case right before New Years...)

#27 Post by **Al Osterheld** » January 2nd, 2021, 3:26 pm

My most recent purchase was a case of Champagne last Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday, so I'm still good. I have a few things I plan to buy, though.

31st doesn’t count. I ordered the same Comtes . . .

#30 Post by **Nate M** » January 2nd, 2021, 3:58 pm

Out! I was at the in-laws and ran down to total wine today:)

#31 Post by **Vince T** » January 2nd, 2021, 4:01 pm

I lost several auctions yesterday and today, so so far so good.

joejolesch · #32 Post by **joejolesch** » January 2nd, 2021, 4:07 pm

Envoyer almost got me yesterday with the ‘08 Legras BDB...is it really self control if you were just too slow?

#33 Post by **Jay Miller** » January 2nd, 2021, 4:22 pm

Out! Made it to January 2nd though.

#34 Post by **Kevin Porter** » January 2nd, 2021, 4:30 pm

I’m on track for berserker day but it’s early days

#35 Post by **AD Northup** » January 2nd, 2021, 4:44 pm

Yeah I was out quickly in the 1st...nothing today yet though!

#36 Post by **Joshua Kates** » January 2nd, 2021, 5:01 pm

The 2 2013 Trotanoy come through on 12/29 and the 7 2018 various Roulot before then, so I'm pretty sure I'm an ok. Master in 2021.

crickey · #37 Post by **crickey** » January 2nd, 2021, 5:01 pm

36 hours apparently.

I have several mailing list wines coming out this month, so January was always going to be an expensive month.

I’m a model of constraint, made it til 7.

JBrochu · #39 Post by **JBrochu** » January 2nd, 2021, 5:23 pm

I made it 22 hours. But I really wasn't planning to abstain anyway.

Well, it’s not like you’re running short of sparklers.

Still master of my domain.

#49 Post by **RyanC** » January 2nd, 2021, 6:43 pm

This may be the longest I’ve made to start a year in a decade.... I may try for a no-buy January (but not a dry January)
