Kudos to whomever got the 08 Masseto <$400. I was too slow...

Jonathan Jaggers · March 27th, 2021, 8:19 am

Looks like the marathon is still going. Amex offers have $30 of $100 - wish I would have known that yesterday! Just grabbed some Antica Pinot to make use of the offer, it's Napa Valley, so we'll see how it is.

I couldn't find an AMEX offer for Last Bottle... I do see a $30 off/$100 for wine .com.

How much was it? The deals seemed a bit mixed, so very curious about this one.

$159
Snagged it immediately after I missed out on the Masseto

$65 for 2015 World's End George III? Has anyone had these wines? No CT reviews for this vintage yet.

Can you remember what vintage and price the Masseto was? I tried to grab it but missed out. Probably a good thing

I vaguely remember it being a 2008 for ~$450

Right now at 1:30am there's an Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Red Mountain 2014 for $39.
Missed it. Ugh. Might just email LastBottle and see if they have any leftovers. That has worked in the past.

Was drinking both their Two Blondes and their Champoux 2016s over yesterday evening to see which one I preferred and wanted to load up on. Was the Champoux for me, my wife switched though and preferred the Two Blondes after about 4hrs of air..

FWIW I bought one at 1:30am and it stayed on the site for a few minutes after that so I have to imagine they have inventory and just cycled out the product to a new wine.

In the marathon before this I got 2 bottles of 2016 Cadence CdC since CT seemed to have good reviews but I wasn't familiar with the winery/vineyard. Similarly to the Andrew Will, I just bought it based on others here talking about it so thought why not?

#8460 Post by **PatrickW** » March 28th, 2021, 9:49 am

Wine Spies has Andrew Will Champoux ($55) and Ciel du Cheval ($45) today. I picked up a couple of each as it on the marathon as well....pretty sure they do referral links if anybody is interested. Just send me a PM and I'll see what I can find.

08.. and sub 400

JViolini · #8462 Post by **JViolini** » March 28th, 2021, 6:18 pm

Looking at the Benchmark sale the $109 power hour 2017 Raphet CV was in the $250 "bin". I also saw an old email they offered the Charmes-Chambertin in a daily deal in early Jan. They had the crossed out prices of $240 & $210 but not sure what it was actually offered for in the daily deal - it was $119 during the power hour.

Dennis_L · #8463 Post by **Dennis_L** » March 29th, 2021, 10:36 am

any guesses on the rose? I"m guessing it's the Drake one "Mod" 98 tasting panel, etchings, huge box, and retails at $400

There's no doubt in my mind this is what it is. I get the sense that places cannot get rid of this stuff.

Hoping i was wrong and something worth a flyer to use the amex offer on.

joejolesch · #8467 Post by **joejolesch** » March 29th, 2021, 10:50 am

With all the clues, I’ve no doubt it’s the Mod. I would agree that it can’t be sold for the standard retail ask and there’s a need to blow it out. Only 1 consumed bottle in CT and 15 in cellars, no notes...

#8468 Post by **Stephen P** » March 29th, 2021, 10:55 am

So is it worth getting at $109?

#8469 Post by **Jeff_M.** » March 29th, 2021, 11:03 am

My buddy bought a couple bottles. Gotta pass on the mystery buy

There's no doubt in my mind this is what it is. I get the sense that places cannot get rid of this stuff.

I also agree it's NV Mod Selection Rose, but I'd point out that Mod makes a huge deal of the 98 points by Anthony Dias Blue on their website (not tasting panel). No mention of the Tastings.com 90 point score or the 85 points Wine Enthusiast gave it, of course. Hard pass.

(Edited and corrected because I had confused Tasting Panel with Tastings.com)

#8471 Post by **J. Rock** » March 29th, 2021, 11:46 am

From what I gather, Mod is decent Champagne but not worth even 1/4 the retail price. Some celebrities work with producers to make good/great wine/spirits, and some think they can slap their name on it and profit of off the brand alone. This seems like the latter, but I haven't tasted it.

In that case his Champagne would be entirely consistent with his music

greg gartland · March 31st, 2021, 5:58 pm

I'm an idiot and bought one of these. the box and bottle are both ridiculous; my wife and i had a chuckle (she is kind). we'll bring it to a friends house soon.

Plus one on that. The resemblance to a coffin hints that this wine is meant to passed on for eternity.

Since the Antica Terra Coriolis seemed popular on here during the marathon, just a friendly heads up (and referral plug) that First Bottle is selling Antica Terra Coriolis Chardonnay 2017 for $25. If you're never purchased from them before, they are the sister site of LastBottle and you can get $10 off with this shameless referral https://www.firstbottlewines.com/invite ... c6744.html

"
I haven't but a positive note on cellar tracker calls it "essentially a rosé wine that has been introduced to a Soda Stream. Carbonated rosé. It drinks more similar to a beer than it does a Cali sparkler." Sounds like a turn off. But then the same guy goes on to say "it’s light and refreshing with plenty of strawberry kiwi flavor, rhubarb, and strawberry cream notes. Creamy type finish... Stock up..." so I'm torn.

Not sure about QPR at $20 though. Plenty of Cavas fill that poolside niche at similar quality levels for less. But still torn.

Last Fall it only took 2 weeks for me. For the December one, it took 2 months. So YMMV.

Vince L. · #8487 Post by **Vince L.** » April 8th, 2021, 1:13 pm

Depends where you're at.
For me it ships 2-3 months out.

Anyone familiar with the current offer, Paul Goerg Brut Rosé? Nothing recent in CT. We’re out of our go-to Rosé (Marc) and “BBQ + bubbles” season is almost upon us. $35 / bottle.

I dig a lot of the wines but, in particular, the chardonnay.
