Curious opinions on Lot 2. I didn’t order it, still thinking about it. I think largely because it’s a 2022, I have created a mental block, but from my experience with B Cellars, and the prior reviews of that particular wine, it seems like a really sexy wine. Anyone else order it? I don’t think it has shipped yet from what I’ve been seeing.
CX Lot 02 Oakville District 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon ordered on blind faith since I have reserved not buying 2020 and 2022 vintages for the most part.
I DID receive a case of X#2, from WineVIP.
Cam put this as number # 2, so it’s probably very good!
Go back and read the offer, Cam said to drink this while you’re waiting for the 2023’s to come around.
Maybe I will try the first bottle around Thanksgiving or so?
I desperately hope that we will get a nice 2023 Calistoga Cab!
I should stop reading this thread, in for a case of #2
Lot 24
Diamond Mountain is in Calistoga
Thanks! Already got #24. Looks wonderful.
Re#24, Cam said. “A no-brainer for mountain Cabernet connoisseurs”
Maybe we will get another Different Calistoga Cabernet-hint, hint……
A 2023 Calistoga Cab is in my list of upcoming offers above from the COLA site.
Bought a 6 pack purely based on Cam’s sales pitch! Have not received yet.
I’m curious — which of the lots currently offered strike folks as the biggest bruisers?
I’m thinking 10, given Cam’s recent description of it as a “Moose”…any others?
Lot 12 is good, really blueberry forward medium-full bodied wine. I am super thankful it didn’t get cooked. Need help figuring out which one is the most chocolate milkshake.
dear god, this is it
Elizabeth?
I was on the fence on this, with 400+ cases I might wait until some people receive it and try it.
Seems 21 is exact blend from winery
I think you mean Krupp Synchrony.
Yes, we are in sync.
In that case, being the quickest update and yes, I bought a case of 21. Huge CF fan here. For those who haven’t had it, wine that changed my life this year was 2021 Gran Enemigo El Cepillo.
