For anyone interested in 04 Shafer HSS, they have it at SDWC for $185. I bought a bottle since it’s less than what I paid from the mailing list. They had loads of it and it was not moving at all. How times have changed!!!
Not affiliated with the store or anyone, nor do I want to be!!!
I also picked up the 07 Brian Loring Clos Pepe. I may give that one a try tonight at the Winevault.
I found them locally as well for the same price. Bought from the list, but contemplating on gettting a couple more given that it’s less than mailing list pricing
They are selling the wine at $10 over wholesale. A winery of this pedigree is usually pretty aware of what their wine is being sold at in retail establishments. To maintain the “lofty” status they hold, a part is required to maintain pricing. Anything below mailer price could have it’s own prices.
I sold wine at the national level for a small brand and heard more than enough shit every time I sold something to SDWC. Taking the quick buck from them actually hurt my business btg and retail in SD.
