So a while back I posted on here when the releases of Sine Qua Non and Saxum were coming out earlier this year and asked if anyone would be willing to share their allocation. Well, I had two people private message me and offer me some of their allocation of Saxum. (nobody shares SQN, for good reason ) They were done a little differently in getting the bottles to me but both were great to work with them. One in particular stood out to me, it really was cool to see the helpfulness of the member on this board to get me a few bottles of Saxum that I know I will be waiting at least several years to even get on the list. I was willing to pay even a little extra for the time and effort this person went to to get the bottles to me and that never was a thought for him. It just really made my day that this process started several months ago and he never forgot about it and kept me abreast of shipping times and what prices were (same price from winery) and the expected delivery dates etc. he walked me down the whole process and made me totally comfortable as I have never done this process before of buying from a fellow board member (there certainly is some trust needed) So anyways if you are looking to buy or trade some wine and never have posted on this board don’t be afraid to ask like I was
I had a great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Merry Christmas to all!! Now I need to go open my bottle of Saxum in a couple of days so I can enjoy it for Christmas Day!!!
09 Paderewski was just terrific last night after 2 hours in the decanter.
