This thread is making me feel better. I rarely order wine more than once or twice a month! So I'm doing great on frequency. Still struggling with quantity.

with what gem?

It's a line from Seinfeld.

This year I've picked up 3 bottles of 17 Rousseau. 3 bottles of 18 Roumier. A whole ton of Raveneau and a case of Meo BR. Oh a mag of Malconsorts and 2 btls of Richebourg from HN in the 18 vintage.

Looks like 10 days, for me. I'm out.

But still firm on Dry January.

Day 10 for me.

2013 Paolo Scavino Barolo Cannubi from winebid.

I've held out, but tomorrow the dam bursts. Going to be a rough week. Didn't realize Carlisle was also this week.

#160 Post by **RyanC** » January 11th, 2021, 12:35 pm

I'm out. A single bottle of '17 Cathiard Malconsorts for a good price. I'm gonna try to hold out for the rest of the month.

I still can't believe a case of Petit Verdot from DN is what broke me. Who the hell buys a case of Petit Verdot?

Already purchased two cases.

Still haven't purchased wine, but I did buy a 3L RR Supplication over the weekend. Tried to argue it was beer, not wine. Different themes, different reasons to buy. Was told I'm full of excuses. Lol

I knew you’d fall and didn’t want to pile on. You lasted longer than I did! I’m so weak.

Just bought 08 Crissy from the KShin. 11 days, a record.

To be fair, I wasn't really trying not to, more curious to see how long it would be before something tempted me enough.

2019 Huet Haut Lieu Sec flipped the switch. We were just noticing a shortage of dry chenin.

sounds like a vinous emergency that had to be remedied immediately. Forgiven.

I’ve seen a few offers, Morrell in NYC comes to mind, but at the high pricing discussed in another thread.

Occidental hit, I'm off & running for 21.

KyleC · #174 Post by **KyleC** » January 12th, 2021, 9:05 am

Held out until the Aubert release this morning. I made it a whole 11 days lol

KyleC · #175 Post by **KyleC** » January 12th, 2021, 9:53 am

Just got the Rivers-Marie email for next Tuesday's pinot release. This is going to be a painful month for my CC...

#176 Post by **M.Kaplan** » January 12th, 2021, 10:16 am

I lasted 10 days. But only if Champagne counts.

I’m out, today, Myriad.

January 12th, 2021, 12:36 pm

You know your in big trouble when your signing up for new wineries (Rivers-Marie). So much temptation!

#180 Post by **Jeff_M.** » January 12th, 2021, 12:52 pm

Today, got some Saxum, Aubert and Myriad. Carlisle Thursday. Rivers-Marie next week. BD still looming.

#181 Post by **K N Haque** » January 12th, 2021, 8:49 pm

Out. Had a chance for 2008 Prüm WS Kabinetts. I had hoped to last to Berserker Day.

Jan Janas · #182 Post by **Jan Janas** » January 13th, 2021, 2:39 am

Out as of today. I bought 2 Wittman Estate 2018 as daily drinkers. Surprised I lasted almost two weeks. I don‘t have a cellar and I mostly buy singles since I‘m still exploring.

January 13th, 2021, 4:07 am

Saxum

Johan R · #184 Post by **Johan R** » January 14th, 2021, 11:31 am

I’m out. A good price on Pierre Girardin Meursault Meix Chavaux had me buying three bottles, along with a bottle each of Marie Courtin Resonance, Thiriet Volnay and Regnault Dorien.

January 14th, 2021, 11:42 am

Huet Sec Le Haut Lieu. After all, it is an A. So 93 pointer.

January 16th, 2021, 2:00 pm

I’ve still just made the one purchase but have come close on a couple others. Waiting on Duplessis. Got the shakes and withdrawal.

January 16th, 2021, 2:25 pm

Other than a few bottles of cheap whites for cooking, I had not purchased any since August 3, so the three scattered six-packs yesterday count as an appetizer for the B-Day entree.

I made it to 107 days. From Oct 1st until yesterday. Then the wheels fell off the wagon.

Like the Energizer bunny...still going, from around late summer of last year until (hopefully) this summer.

I am suffering too. Buying four new tires just didn’t cure the ills. I have identified a bunch of 2019 kabinetts i am likely to buy tomorrow, however.

#196 Post by **Paul Miller** » January 17th, 2021, 7:31 am

Bought Carlisle. Rivers Marie is this week.

I’m doing Dryuary. That’s kept me from buying oddball bottles.

KenL. · #197 Post by **KenL.** » January 17th, 2021, 8:09 am

Made my first purchase last night, Occidental. Next up for me in two days are Maybach and Rivers-Marie.

#198 Post by **BobMilton** » January 17th, 2021, 9:43 am

The Carlisle offer finally made me cave. Was holding out for Berserker Day, but will hold out now. Gotta save the bread for the wine to come!

January 17th, 2021, 11:14 am

Still the master of my domain.

Planned break for Schafer-Frolich 2019 GGs if they become available locally at less than what I'm seeing it for now.

January 18th, 2021, 7:56 pm

I’m out. Had to buy some more 2019 mosels. But i almost went a month 12/23 - 1/18!
