big jump on the Les Iles Feray pricing. The St Joe is still a relative bargain. I took a case of each

Motivated by Mendoza getting some 'cred' on another thread, I found these two well-reviewed wines to try . . .
-El Enemigo Chardonnay 2018

Source Material’s latest offer:

1 bottle each of 2016 and 2017 Daniel Twardowski Pinot Noix “Ardoise”

I’m very curious about these.

2014 de la Tour Clos Vougeot VV for $136 a bottle, which seems like a pretty silly price for such old vines and good dirt, considering how much really good grand cru Burgundy fetches lately.

Edit - the Jouan sounds pretty good though

Curious what draws you to these? I did a vertical tasting 2011-2016 last year and wasn't impressed enough to buy more of any but the 2015 even though the retailer was giving a great price as the bottles had been sitting in their cellar for years.

I think the 2015 has gotten better with some bottle age - am curious what you think of the 2017.

I think people either like meo or don’t. I’m not a huge fan.

Latest auction haul:
2007 Ridge Monte Bello

2016 Hubert Lamy St Aubin Derriere Chez Edouard Haute Densite

I won the Criots before bidding got really out of hand on subsequent bottles...

I'm not Jay but did try the 2017 a few weeks ago. It was a little 'fluid' and a little blah, well below my past experiences with the 2013 and 2015. Will leave my other bottle alone for a long long time

February 11th, 2021, 3:42 pm

Won a 6-pack of 1997 Arns Napa cab at recent HDH auction on an impulsive lowball bid. Opened first bottle tonight; shocked at how youthful and tasty it is. Would have been happy at twice the price.

Would appreciate buying advice. I have a $150 gift card to wine.com. I have free shipping.

I’ve only been buying for a few years. Cellar is mostly village Burgundy (Marchand Tawse primarily), village Chablis and Meursault, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz Pinot and Cab, a few BDX (Duhart, Canon), a few champagnes (Egly, Dellamotte). Mostly 15, 16, and 17 vintages.

Could buy more of the above. But there is a lot I haven’t tried.

Any suggestions on wine.com inventory for WA state?

Because it’s a gift card, I can use this on .97 wines, too.

It is rare to see this producer and vineyard get much love here. I have collected a few vintages of this particular producer/vineyard and it has always been a good "value" (if there is such a thing in Burgundy). Their price escalation in the past few years have also been quite reasonable.

February 13th, 2021, 11:48 am

Alban – Lorraine, Seymour’s and Patrina. Will finalize how much of each this weekend. But in for sure on all!

Larry Stein · February 13th, 2021, 11:59 am

Does Cognac count? A bottle each of Tesseron 76 and 53.

A friend gave me several bottles of already opened brown liquor (Bourbon, Armagnac, Cognac, Calvados) as he no longer drinks the hard stuff. I was poking around last night and one of them was a 3/4 full bottle of Navarre Vieille Reserve Cognac! I forgot I had that. I really need to inventory my liquor.

Prevost Les Beguines - I think LC16, but I will need to see the bottle when it arrives to confirm
2016 Mount Eden Cabernet
2018 Raul Perez La Vizcaina La Vitoriana
2018 Faiveley Clos de Myglands - because I really wanted a wine whose name would make Americans snicker

I had the 2016 a few weeks ago. Shut down really fast. So I think it can be difficult to get a sense of them this young. 2015 might have been in a muted state as well?

Just bought:

2x 2016, Levet, La Peroline.
1x 2015, Levet, La Peroline.
1x 2013, Levet, La Peroline.

2x 2017, Guy Farge, Cornas Harmonie.

Score on 4, 11 and 14!!!! Have not tried 15, didn’t buy much from that vintage. Bought lots of 14 on Mark’s reco, but that’s my kind of vintage anyway. I flat out love 2011, could be WOTV. Have had two 04s this past year, also excellent.

Good work!!!

It's my first order with them so I will hold out suggesting them, but the owner seemed highly knowledgeable and the price was excellent. I did ask him if it as ok to share his information and he said yes.

Thanks for this info. I put in an order with the same retailer this week. It is the seventh different 2019 Falkenstein I have purchased. I remember Lars Carlberg posted that the NC importer, Piedmont Wine Imports, had selected the AP11 before it received the MFW review and would be receiving one of the largest allocations. Knowing that, I tried to find some of the AP11 in North Carolina a few months ago, but I must have not been doing a very good job looking. The retailer you mentioned looks to have a good supply. They were easy to deal with over email and are waiting to ship until better weather. Now only if I could find some Gisela.
