De Negoce offer (Part 2)

VitorC · December 16, 2023, 7:34am

Come on dN. You can do better than this on a Friday night?!?

For those that enjoyed the controversial 207 Chard, it’s available for $99/case. Enjoy it

Terrance_Arrington · December 16, 2023, 11:48am

Yeppers! Grabbed another case of N.207.

rogerd · December 16, 2023, 12:37pm

Also in for case. I think i have 1 bottle of previous case left. With small reward credit and an old referral credit, $81 delivered

Francesco_D · December 16, 2023, 2:55pm

I’m only a Dry Red Wine person. So I’ll pass on this one.

alan_weinberg · December 16, 2023, 4:43pm

why was it controversial? 13.4% alcohol? Ordered. Cellar defender.

larry_schaffer · December 16, 2023, 5:05pm

All this talk of ‘cellar defenders’ . . . For all of you purchasing cases and cases of dN for this reason, how big is your cellar minus dN wines?

Cheers

Scott_Fleming · December 16, 2023, 5:27pm

What are the lot# predictions to be offered for the remaining end of year case sales event?

Bob_Hoelting · December 16, 2023, 5:46pm

275 de Negoce
984 others

BTW - Tercero 52

harrygonzo · December 16, 2023, 5:49pm

pretty good reviews on ct…I dare anyone to find a bottle of chard as good as this for 8 bucks at any store anywhere and I’m through defending this company

Michael_Goode · December 16, 2023, 6:02pm

1273 out of 1513 are de Negoce

Timothy_B_a_l_l_a_r_d · December 16, 2023, 6:39pm

Larry,
Speaking for myself (and likely Scott Boyd) de Negoce IS OUR CELLAR without any “defenders”. I’m perfectly fine with that as I’ve thouroughly enjoyed most all the de Negoce wines that I’ve tried. There is a TON of de Negoce purchases I’ve not tried also- note- that does not apply to Scott

Cheers, Tim

73% of my cellar are dN labeled. However, it is not as easy to determine which of the others were sourced via dN but if I had to guess I would go with 90% dN/10% others overall.
But I can say after 3 years, dN has ruined me from buying anywhere else - besides an occasional Moore Brothers buying trip. They are sourcers of small artisanal producers and provide a great in store experience.
As I am located in PA - the state store is my only in-state source of wines, hence a cross border trip to DE is sometimes necessary

S1m0n_b · December 16, 2023, 6:55pm

I’m about to head to Moore Brothers this afternoon to get some Christmas wines. Any suggestions?

But on the topic of today’s offer, I don’t get how people can read the CT reviews and think “yes I want this.” Unless you have unlimited storage space, this is quite a gamble. It seems like half of the bottles of this wine were flawed or something else is off with them. DN is backing up their dumptruck on us with this offer. I’m not even sure I’d get it if I had previously gotten, tried and liked one of these given the reported inconsistency bottle-to-bottle.

Season’s Greetings, all. The vast majority of the bottles in my home cellar were bought from Cameron (a testament to him and I sincerely hope this continues to be the case moving forward) per the paste below:

@S1m0n_b - Lucky you for heading there today!
I love the Chad PN and other varieties that they produce, plus I like

Roberto Ferraris Barbera d’Asti Nobbio
Trousse-Chemise - Cab & Chards
Elio Grasso Langhe Nebbiolo

And for a low cost easy drinker/crowd pleaser -

2022 Domaine Ricard Touraine Le Petiot SauvBlanc

Stolpman, Fiancetto & Ratzenberger are all solid producers.
Honestly, I can’t think of a wine in that store that I don’t like!
Have fun and let me know what you end up with !

larry_schaffer · December 16, 2023, 7:09pm

Interesting comments thus far . . .

I may have to start a dN poll about this - but thinking @MatthewT probably should . . .

VitorC · December 16, 2023, 7:18pm

I mentioned this purely based on many positive and negative comments on the other dN thread about 207. I’ve never tried it. You can search “207” there you will see what I’m saying. Copying some negative ones here:

“207 I opened and tried a sip right away and it was, sorry, just plain bad”;
“I also bought 207 based on Cam’s berg review. After trying a couple of bottles over a few weeks I poured 3/4 of the 2nd bottle down the drain.”;
“207 is pretty horrible, 77 was never like that which makes me think 207 will never improve to anything drinkable.”
“The Chardonnay selections have been solid with the possible exceptions of 207 and 330.”

Eric_White · December 16, 2023, 7:28pm

about 2800 bottles, 19% DN,

VitorC · December 16, 2023, 7:32pm

~400 bottles, ~85% dN

VitorC · December 16, 2023, 7:39pm

Spot on!!
