Having gotten in on the Legras the other day, I had to hold off on these. $30/btl would have made it an irresistible deal. But they are delicious!

nothing about this Barolo cellar that hit my email an hour ago??

I grabbed a '64 Fontanafredda but I wanna know who took a shot at the Mascarello.

Did anyone get a response to Verdet requests?

I requested Beaumonts 2-3 hours after email went out (why not try) and got a firm rejection.

April 8th, 2019, 1:28 pm

Thanks, Shan. That's a pensive good sign for me.

Anybody familiar with the 2008
Domaine Louis Remy Latricières-Chambertin
offered today?

#814 Post by **Curtis Chen** » April 18th, 2019, 4:31 pm

Lots of '08 and '10 Louis Michel offered for $30. Solid price.

As it turns out, Envoyer never received my email response, so no dice for me.

Then, yesterday, I followed-up on my Marguet request of two days ago to find out that they never got my initial request on that one, either. Now I feel like I need to follow-up on every single request, as my emails clearly aren't getting through for whatever reason. .... looking forward to the new website!

I am holding out a single grain of hope that I'll land any of my requests for the aged Bdx. that came through in today's afternoon offer. I replied fairly late, and it was by email ... so we'll see ...

I replied within a minute of receiving the email. I only asked for one bottle: the '85 Leoville Barton. I got the confirmation email a few minutes ago.

April 19th, 2019, 1:57 pm

Nice score, Andrew! I got a bottle of the '70 Haut Bailly, but missed on my other two requests. Happy to have landed the Haut Bailly!

Dennis Atick · #819 Post by **Dennis Atick** » April 25th, 2019, 1:37 pm

jfc. Burgundy has gotten so expensive. I thankfully already own a number of the wines offered today as I couldn't afford to buy back in now.
This is not a comment on pricing via Greg and Envoyer. Been a happy customer for 10 yrs. Just an observation.

#820 Post by **J.Vizuete** » April 25th, 2019, 3:30 pm

Any thoughts on the L'Anglore offering? Haven't seen these wines in my market, but pretty darned pricey for Lirac and Tavel....

Good wines. Buzzy, cult-y, hipster stuff. Never really moved me. Used to be cheaper. My two cents.

I think I may have been too late on the 14 V&S Morey Chassagne Morgeot. Anyone else ask for it?

I have 10 Clos de Cortons and Cazetiers at home... wondering when the right time to open these would be?

Got 3x faiveley LSG. Never had a Faiveley LSG before. Would love to crack open a ‘10 alongside a ‘16.

If memory serves me correctly, this was a tad simplistic for the price. I'd rather use the money towards futures.

Also, you got my acronym.

Yep, bought the whole assortment.

Thoughts on Frank Balthazar Cornas? Reasonably priced.

julianseersmartin · May 8th, 2019, 10:26 am

I'd vouch for his wines. Good, traditional Cornas producer - he makes the real deal and is a decent value alternative to some of the super star producers if you actually want to drink the stuff.

#842 Post by **Mich@el Ch@ng** » May 8th, 2019, 10:29 am

Price was jacked up a bit over last year.

#843 Post by **Curtis Chen** » May 8th, 2019, 10:33 am

Balthazar is legit. Got a few 2015 Chaillot for ~$50 (not from Envoyer) not too long ago. I wouldn't open any Chaillot for a long ass time though.

Yeah, the Chaillot is up by $10. It's still $10 cheaper than anywhere else though. Still a good value in my book and asked for three. I think in most of N. Rhone the market is catching up to the quality of the wines. Still some good values--but probably gone are the days of insane values. Seems like everything has gone up for '17, which might not be as good as the previous two vintages? Still buying most of my favorites though.

You can drink the Cuvee Casimir earlier, though I don't really like that bottling. I like the Chaillot bottling a lot - it's one of the best bargains in Cornas imho given the quality.

Was about to buy some 2014 riserva but a quick search in winesearcher showed a local store available for $10 less (and ready for pick up), so I purchased there. Hoping that I'll be able to share some with my son one day (his birth year)... if there's any left
