I see 2020 vintage in Cellar Tracker with a couple of notes, unless I’m seeing something wrong?

Big +1. The same exact reason why I have only purchased 1 or 2 of the non-domestic offers…I need to do more research about those areas and styles…if anyone has a good educational material, please let me know…

I’m just an ignorant sophomoric wine person.
The bottom line. Cam was recently in France, this coincided with the week the the French Farmers in all their wisdom, negotiated a deal with the French government to pull up vines. My assumption is Cam was there to help them with some of the 2020- 2022 juice. If you are a winery and the s%%t’s in the ringer, you’re likely to have an off the wall, know one must know meeting with Cam or other Negociants, off load the juice and GET cash that is much needed to get your enterprise through the next year or three. I figure that these deals will appear within a De Negoce T1 release around ~~ November 2023.

Got 68 today, my last order of the sale and first to arrive. Bought it given all the positive chat, it is as advertised. I am going to enjoy this case, it may be in the running for the QPR prize! It is very enjoyable and ready to go, gave it a short decant.

68 is my all time QPR fav for DN. The wine continues to amaze me as it develops. It’s clearly a TOP DN wine…

I agree with you, Luke, about buying a case of wine from a region/ variety you’re not familiar with but it’s also exciting. I couldn’t justify buying cases of the French wines despite how good they sounded, but I did pick up a mixed case of French whites in a recent sale. The bottle shop sales are a great way to expand my wine drinking experience & knowledge without the risk of getting a case of something I don’t really like (which hasn’t happened yet, so…)

Hey Cam, find some reds from the Bolgheri area.
Think Guado al Tasso …a 140$ wine for the DN price of 35 would be FANTASTIC…

Nice call out. I saw that listed on their shipping help page: https://denegoce.gorgias.help/en-US/shipping-questions-related-to-warehouse-move-219877
It looks like FedEx charges a per package fee to deliver packages to your home on a different day. I liked UPS with the $20 annual my choice fee. They offered a lot of flexibility in getting the packages to my house when I’m home.
Seems like the only option with FedEx is to hold at a location or put the packages on “vacation hold”.
Curious what other experiences are and if this is for sure the new shipping carrier.

About how I feel. I might buy it, just don’t know if FedEx will deliver it. I’ve had their delivery manager for some time and it never works.

That’s frustrating to read as i literally just paid for the UPS membership last month specifically to have contol over denegoce deliveries. Now we have to deal with a different carrier and different capabilities to manage deliveries… ugh…not happy

Love this, I find Fedx to be way more user friendly in redirecting packages. You don’t even need an account, you can do it as a guest.

FedEx is not a great move for me. I get why people like it, but my UPS guy rocks. Have given him a number of bottles for all the no hassle deliveries he’s made for me.

Not happy with FedEx - Here in the South Atlanta area, they are too incompetent for words. Shipments take 48 hours to cover 12 miles and in the summer, this can mean cooked wines. UPS works well here and is the locally preferred vendor… Oh well. We’ll see how this goes.
