How bad?

It’s showing $99 for me. Was hoping $79 wasn’t too good to be true…
That have 91 in stock though.
Ground to me was $40 for 3 so not totally unreasonable, but I didn’t buy.

They e-mailed an offer with an extra 15% off that 99, said they’d apply after you put your order through. Might have to request in the note on your order or something? Not super sure.
And the shipping for me was like $55 for 3 mags.
At like $100 shipped, I’d be in for some mags.
Grapes the wine company has a six pack of 750’s for $300

How do you go about getting that 15%? Guess via email only, no promo code? I would buy if could find a way to get that.
same here and i’m in NY, so shipping isn’t awful. curious how to get the extra % that’s a good deal and they seem to have a bunch in stock.
Just ordered 6 from them. Reasonable ($39) shipping too.
Ordered for a celebration (out of town)!
From the e-mail:
PLEASE NOTE – THE 15% DISCOUNT WILL BE APPLIED BY CHARLES AND JULIO BEFORE YOUR CREDIT CARD IS CHARGED, OR IF YOU PAY BY WIRE OR ZELLE, THEY WILL INVOICE YOU WITH THE DISCOUNT APPLIED.
Maybe just make a note in the order?

Any updates on this? Best prices? I see WHWC is offering for $54.95, which seems a bit higher than others perhaps?
Cheers
That’s about the going rate.
I paid $53 shipped from FL to SoCal (Luekens) which I thought was a great price.

Did the same, shipped from FL to Seattle was $55 each which was about as good as I could find.
Weirdly, I tried to buy the $79 mags of 242 from Blacksmith and could never get my order processed. Tried multiple times, had purchased from them before with no issue. Oh well.
That’s about what I paid last time
I’m loving it right now, especially with some air
SoCal CostCo’s have had this recently for $53.
I find it ‘fine’ for that price but not inspiring. If you like the classic sweet-tart young big house style its right in that lane. I’ve like the 242 more. But that bottling also got better with 6-12 months in bottle. The 244 might do that too.

I think time will help a lot.
NV Louis Roederer Champagne Collection 244 - France, Champagne (10/23/2024)
– popped and poured –
– tasted non-blind over 2.5 hrs. on Day 1; revisited on Day 2 –
– 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, 26% Pinot Meunier –
– MV blend: 54% 2019 (5% vinified in wood), 36% Perpetual Reserve (2012 - 2018), 10% “wines from previous years and young plots on the Cristal estate aged in French oak foudres” (20212 - 2018) –
– Dosage: 7 g/L –
NOSE: relative to what I normally drink, this has a broad, Big House, nose. It’s light/bright, but also a bit yeasty. Happily, this does not veer into buttery or lactic territory. Very light-fruited Nose (white fruit). Seems tight.
BODY: medium yellow color; aggressive, medium-bubbled bead, initially, but it calmed down to a less-aggressive fine bead as time passed; light to medium-light body.
TASTE: frothy; markedly steely and acidic; fruit is tight; I can sense the dosage a bit, despite this being quite minerally and dry; Granny Smith apple in the background; this feels like it requires age. DAY 2: better today – more broad, and fruitier — crisp, dry, white fruit; not heavy. Liked it enough to go back for more, as I feel it’s a good QPR around $50 - $55, but this Needs Time. HOLD.
