AUCTION: EMH Black Cat's Best: 2009 10th Anniversary Special Selection 750ml

Thomas_Concilio · January 28, 2016, 2:52am

Who is this “Mr. Conklin” you speak of?

J_a_y_H_a_c_k · January 28, 2016, 2:55am

Dinner with Merrill is worth it.

Merrill_Lindquist · January 28, 2016, 2:59am

I am posting from my phone and the editor did not like your name, apparently. I refer to Mr. Concilio.

Thomas_Concilio · January 28, 2016, 3:02am

That’s OK, I’ve been called a lot worse. From my family no less…

Larry_Irving · January 28, 2016, 3:17am

So Jay, your bid is what?

Joe_S · January 28, 2016, 3:23am

My bid is $380 and don’t call me Jay!

I will be in Napa in about 3 weeks so the pot would be sweetened if Merrill would be available for sampling some wines (I can bring) with my better half and a couple friends. If I don’t win, then c’est la vie!

Larry_Irving · January 28, 2016, 3:25am

Oh heck, $385 just to mess with Jay…

Thomas_Concilio · January 28, 2016, 3:32am

You can call me Ray, 400

Joe_S · January 28, 2016, 3:32am

I’m fine with that!

Mark_Y · January 28, 2016, 3:36am

Does Thomas’s $400 count? Or it shuts at 10:30pm?

Joe_S · January 28, 2016, 3:46am

Thomas just threw out ,400. Is that Pesos? Lira? Credits for a mind trip to Mars?

Thomas_Concilio · January 28, 2016, 3:52am

If you will accept Peso’s, then yes. But, if the bid stands then good old fashion American Dollars.

Thomas_Concilio · January 28, 2016, 3:57am

Just as an FYI, this auction doesn’t close until 1/30/16. Don’t worry, I missed that also.

Mark_Y · January 28, 2016, 4:14am

Woa ok! 1 billlllon Martian pesos

Joe_S · January 28, 2016, 4:27am

Just havin’ some fun, Thomas! [pillow-fight.gif]

Chuck_Miller · January 28, 2016, 4:39am

I’ll bid $500.

Larry_Irving · January 28, 2016, 4:42am

I look away for a moment and see what happens… That Black Cat Magic…

Peter_Hirdt · January 28, 2016, 2:13pm

This is the best young California cab I’ve tasted in the last two years.

Er_z_L · January 28, 2016, 2:28pm

500 and there are still two days of bidding?

I hope the '09SS and '11SS go to a great home, and I hope that home would have an open house

Merrill_Lindquist · January 28, 2016, 10:45pm

Ok, there have been a few questions…privately.

The offer for auction - my donation - are two 750ml bottles of EMH’s Special Selection. One is the first Special Selection I produced - the 2009 10th Anniversary wine. The other is the nearly-as-good 2011 Special Selection.

If you want to take me to dinner, I will hand-deliver. Such a deal . Otherwise, I will ship it to you, you have the wine with your special friends, and Berserkers gets the donation. You pay for shipping.
