What to do with $300/$600?

WINE TALK
1

Break it down how ever you want.

I was speaking to a a local wine store manager and they had me thinking of this question.

We were talking about Napa, so he recommended Onda by Dana and Shafer One Point.

I am putting together some tastings in the coming weeks, so interested to see where this goes.

Napanook is an amazing wine that ranges between 60-70$ per bottle. One of my favorite wines under 100!

I’m confused- Shafer One Point Five is well under $300? Can you elaborate a bit?

4

I would buy 2 cases of Piedrasassi Syrah ($600) or splurge on a single bottle of Sine Qua Non /JL Chave Hermitage ($300).

5

Is this need to buy now, one bottle at each price point

or

buy within a few months (from a list for example), and any number of bottles

?

6

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.

Roulette, red or black.

Buy 10 bottles of 17 Napanook. You wont regret it!

If putting on a Napa tasting with $3-600, lots of directions you can go!
Possibilities-

  1. red Zins, one could pick 6-8 stellar Napa Zins.
  2. Focus on Chimney Rock in Stags Leap- buy a bottle of their merlot for $70, bottle of the Cab for $85, then a bottle of their Cab/Merlot blend Elevage for $115. Taste the individual components of the blend, then taste them together.
  3. Focus on Chappellet on Pritchard Hill. Buy a bottle of their $25 Mountain Cuvée (red blend), merlot for $50, Signature Cab for $60, Cab Franc for $95, Pritchard Hill Cab that can hang with any premier Napa bottle for $250.
  4. Buy a 1997, 2007, & 2017 (2016?) of your favorite cab. Ex Beringer Private Reserve. Then Compare and contrast them.

I’d go for #4, that would be a fun evening!

Anything I’m buying I’m looking at CellarTracker and WineSearcher first. Me personally, I have too much syrah and pinot noir. I have too many 100 pt Napa cabs that I don’t want to open. I’d probably buy more riesling and Champagne. I do need more aged Chinon but, it’s harder to find than it should be.

A case or two of wine from the Loire.

Too many good examples to list.

This post is basically “I have money to spend on wine, what should I do?” Which with no other context is as variant of the wide-open question “what should I pair with sushi?”. So the correct answers are:

White Burgundy
Muscade
Rose
Riesling
Champagne
“Why the hell are you drinking wine when the correct answer is ” where “” is beer, sake, or tea

When of course 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape en magnum is the only correct answer.

Half GME / half Bitcoin. Maybe the other half in Tesla.

I’m hoping it’s enough for Manvi Kakkar from
Mumbai Escorts.

Have $1400 coming tomorrow. What do?

Get married. Instantly doubles to 2800.

I’m a bit - no, that’s a lie, I’m a lot - hungover right now, so perhaps that impacts my reading comprehension. Do you have 300+600 or somewhere between 300-600? I will assume the former, cause I like more.

I just bought 18 bottles of Sky Zin 2013 and 2014. Easy to find for $25 per ($45 at the winery), so that’s your $300 for a full case of arguably the best Zins that I have had in years. I’m buying more. Then I take that $600 and grab two bottles of Dominus, or 4 bottles of Corison.
