I just got the de Négoce email to look out for next week’s ‘Something Big is Happening’! What would be bigger/larger than Lot 500 appearing, ~ the return of Cameron Hughes?

“Early access to offers and more”, I think it’s just the Labor Day/Week gradual sales.
this feels like a “special early access to Martin Ray’s new releases, discount with coupon code XYZ!!!” but I hope I’m wrong lol

My guess is it’s the 495-500 series of cabs…oh and the new label that the COLA database already revealed

Title is “Something exciting is happening next week!”
Dear Friends,
Next week, something big is happening - keep an eye on your inbox for our special announcement.
If you haven’t yet, [sign up for SMS] for early access to offers and more!
Really unlikely it’s a sale on old wine. More likely new offerings.
…Or “You want a hot deal, we’ve got one for you! It’s going to be in the upper 90s here in Napa so we decided to end our summer Buy & Hold program. All of your wine is sitting outside, staged in UPS and FedEx trucks waiting to be shipped!”
Just kidding…

Word, this guy got it. Rebranding! LFG! 
Thinking about this more, they will have to rebrand the whole website:
They have also filed new wines with COLA all the way up to lot 520.

Was told this fifty years ago, and it still applies - There is always more wine.

Yep, they make more wine every year

What search term do you use to get the COLA’s for dN?
I keep coming up empty….Thanks.
Scott,
TTB website - go to COLA Registry> Search Public COLA Registry
Basic criteria window: Enter a Start Date and finish date. “Product Name” = de Negoce and click “Either” for brand name of fanciful. Leave others default blank. Hit Search. Enjoy.
Last entry is August 26th for a Lot 520 RRV Cabernet Sauvignon. Might Courtney grabbed another batch from Dehlinger? We’ll find out…
Happy Hunting. Cheers, Tim

I noticed that there were three consecutive upcoming lots (513-515 maybe?) from Spring Mountain; a Cab Sauv, a Cab Franc and a Prop Red.
I also saw an RRV Carignan! Does Foppiano make a Carignan?

John,
It’s the “Future of Wine” and Courtney owns that Carignan now.

I just want to know what Tim & Scott are going to buy. I’ve been relatively indifferent/indecisive lately, so please keep me apprised of your purchasing decisions

I’m likely a sucker for CS & PN from a nice Appellation/Vineyard circa 2023….
For whatever reason?
BTW, # OG N.135 2017 Mendocino 80 to 90-Year-Old-Vine Carignan

Marie,
My cellar is overflowing at the moment, any purchases are split 2-4 ways with friends. Split a case of Lot 485 2023 Pinot Noir with a friend.
Good news, I’ve got plenty of 2017. 2018 de Negoce Cabs ready to drink. Scott just needs to show up at my door with a BIG WINE GLASS. Then I’ll start purchasing these current offerings
Cheers, Tim
