Anybody else notice that the 124 thought-to-be-Freemark Abbey Merlot is in the shop for $12, considerably less than I originally paid for it? Buy a viogner & it’s 15% off that ridiculous price.

Does anyone else typically have issues with these 15% discount deals that often come up?
They always advertise that if you add a bottle of X, then you get 15% off on all other bottle shop wines, but I don’t think this is true. The discount seems to work only on select wines.
For example, today if you add 1 bottle of the Viognier and then bottles of 352, the discount won’t apply to 352.
Thanks Marie,
Re: delicious #124, I enjoyed 2 of my 18 bottles, then put it on “hold” about a year ago.
It Might be time to try one again with a long decant?
That was certainly “The DEAL of the DAY”. Cheers!
When I am sitting on the fence regarding an additional purchase, I go into the cellar.
It helps me get perspective on the amount of wine I want to consume, before I transcend this beautiful rock.

I got the 15% discount on everything else in the case except the 1 bottle of Viognier!

That was happening to me also. Hmmm……
Ha, only ONE Viognier! Me too.

Vitor,
Applies at checkout such that it ensures you DID purchase a Lot 371 Viognier after all. Cheers, Tim

Hi Tim, thanks!
I just tried again but it still doesn’t work 
. I put a mixed case in the cart, including 371. Then I go all the way to the check out (1 click away from submitting the payment), and the 15% only shows up in a couple of lots, not all of them.
I tried different browsers, Shop Pay and not Shop Pay, but still no success.
There seems to be a bug with this discount. I emailed CS, let’s see what they say.
Since Cam is AWOL, I would appreciate if our interim CEO @Brianschool could help here pls.

I didn’t want to do this, but the time has come.
I hereby give notice, per section 424 of the de Negoce bylaws, paragraph 4. For those of you who don’t have your bylaws handy here is section 424, paragraph 4:
“At any time, a member can summon @Cameron_Hughes to post on the “message board” and Mr. Hughes will have 1 week to show proof of life by posting under the @Cameron_Hughes account. Should a full week go by and Mr. Hughes fails to post, whatever member gave notice shall become de-facto CEO of de Negoce.”
Monday, July 24th, 4:50PM PST - is the deadline.
I don’t want this job but I will assume it with great responsibility. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to this.
Matthew,
This job does come with “Kissing some Frogs”. Pucker up. Cheers, Tim

Has anyone tried Lot 392 2020 Napa Cab yet? If so, how is it? De Negociants shows Beringer as the producer, but I don’t remember settling on that name here.
I bought this wine for a friend and he is dying to know who it is given we are on a weather hold here in GA.
I think my best guess was Anderson Conn. Its not Beringer as Cam’s notes said the producer made a $350 BDX blend. Anderson Conn makes some $350+ blends and the 14.9% matched up with some prior vintages. I have mine but have not opened one.

I remember that Davies was also a strong guess. Just did some research on Davies and the vineyard AVA’s and oak treatment are very similar to their Napa Valley Cab, but not so much the $100 price.
I agree that Conn is a good guess.

So with Rivers-Marie release yesterday, I saw that there was a 2021 M-Bar SVD Cabernet in the offering.
For N.397 there was a lot of debate between eastern side of Rutherford and a winemaker duo known for Pinot and Cabernet. Rivers-Marie was thrown out there but they didn’t have a wine that fit the Rutherford location description. I think maybe M-Bar might fit that description though?
Curious if anyone is interested in digging up the different descriptors to see if this makes any sense?
Plug for https://denegociants.com/ to get the old description and the original guess of Kerr Vineyards Beckstoffer GIII.
