Meh…took a look through the “up to 50% discount” California wines…saw nothing really discounted more than any other site. The 2006 Sherwin Cab for $79 and they are listing this as a 40% discount? Really?..Sherwin sells his Cabs for $90 last I saw.
Only have had the '06 and it was good but needs some time in the cellar imo. In general I think M-M did very well in '09… there’s a bit more fruit to balance their usual acid, oak and structure.
Looks like they have added some more wines to the sale this afternoon/evening. Earlier in the day, there were 150+ Burgs, now over 230. Might want to revisit.
Mongeard = blah (there’s a reason they are always clogging up retailer inventory and have to be blown out, like Liger-Belair and Girardin), but not overtly offensive.
The 2010 Schloss Gobelsburg Steinsetz for $13 is a great deal for a very good Gruner. I have not had the 2010 but the reviews from DS and Cellartracker look great for a sub $15 wine and it is always good to great every vintage.
The Huet’s were ridiculous. I thought I was done with the sale until I saw those. 2009 Le Haut Lieu Demi-Sec for $21/bottle? 2010 Le Haut Lieu Sec for $17.50/bottle? Damn. I had to load up.
