De Negoce offer (Part 1)

[Michael_Martin]

Russ,
Thanks for update. Did you finish the bottle? Think OG11 will be the top gems in de Negoce offerings probably along with OG40. These Cabs are young, still primary, will need 2-3 years cellaring to break out. Cheers, Tim

That’s why I bought the N.15 Merlot. Sounded ready to consume while leaving all the cab/cab blends sit for a few years. Even the N.01’s I have had really should have been tucked away for another couple years.

Spoke to OFF SITE. All good, only issue is will cost me $3/ bottle for the racking. They will unpack all my boxes and rack them though it’s usually $5/case to do that but will waive for me as a new customer. I don’t have exact costs yet on the monthly nut but I think south of $2/bottle/year for 2nd floor which is fine with me. I will be there every 3 months to take stuff out.

I used cardboard tubes and got about 20+% more wine in my space. There are a couple threads that talk this. Here is a picture of the finished layout.

Thanks Mike. Didn’t think about doing it myself and probably too lazy but I’ll look into it.

I had the weirdest dream about getting all these cases of weird wines like late harvest Petite Sirah and other bizarre one-offs in strange formats while a buddy got complete cases but in very old, decayed cardboard.

Troy,
I think Margo is asking about California sparkling wine. I have no idea, even if I imagine if there is high end available, that it would cost more than bulk still wine. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Same principles apply for any wine made using the traditional method of secondary bottle fermentation, which would include all of the high-end CA and OR sparkling wines, except there’s no control of the crop size by a central regulating authority. So, in theory, there’s more chance for oversupply of CA (probably not OR) sparkling wine than there is of Champagne, but I don’t think it plays out that way.

Again, traditional sparkling wine production is a time consuming and labor intensive process. People generally don’t produce more bottles than they intend to sell because of this, so I would be surprised to see a CA sparkling offer. In fact, if someone came to me and said there will be a dN sparkling offer and I have to put money on where it will be from, I would guess Champagne over CA. That said, in all honesty, I don’t think Cameron will offer any sparkling wines.

Thank you so much for the explanations! It does seem like it’s a longshot…but a girl can hope!

From another thread:

Chateau Montelena no red wine produced in 2020

Not a big name but Smith-Story said they were not going to make any 2020 wine. I know I heard another one, but it’s not coming to me now.

Isn’t that who people think made the 4 smaller lots?

Yes, it’s finished. Much much better.

Bittersweet. Happy for a Saturday #deNegoce. Sad it’s a Rose.

Tablas Creek - exact match and scores. Tempting!

First thing I thought as well (Tablas) and a quick order in…

[Rich_K0rz_nk0]

I’ve laid off a number of offers, similar thoughts on Tablas, and a quick Buy Now.

Rose is an all year thing for me.

Bought… I just bought some tablas creek wines this week and I think they are great!

[Evan_Tunis]

Wife…We dont’ need any more mine… Its Rose and is $108… Buy it.

[Nicholas_C]

Went in on a case, based on the confidence of it being Tablas. Despite what Cam says will prob lay it down until next summer.

[michael_holmstrom]

In for a case. Gotta be Tablas Creek…great stuff!

[Eric_White]

purchased, sounds like Tablas Creek is a great fit, and I adore their wines.

[Toby_P]

Damit, I had no intention of buying a DN Rose and now you guys have talked me halfway into it. Seems like a $20ish for $12 but we know the source, it’s the same wine (apparently), and the feedback here is incredibly positive!
