Lot of wines with no reviews…so i pass… ![[bleh.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/c/cbb27a94fa73081862abf910a8bfa05e2ae2f5c3.gif "[bleh.gif]"){kind=small}
I’ve been reviewing the wines offered by looking in Vinelog. One wine that may be under appreciated is Et Fille Pinot Noir. Actually, there have been several. They make straight ahead, middle of the spectrum, downright delicious Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
The de Negoce wines sure have tamped my interest in any big red from any of the usual bargain sites.

Ryan Cochrane Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard 2015
grabbed 2…I got 2 others of ryan yesterday.
Same here for sure… I think I bought like 5 cases of wine in my first and second marathons. This one and the last one I’ve been super picky. Think I only bought like 4 bottles in the last one due to the quarantine offers.
Nothing super exciting but I’ve grabbed a few bottles I’ve previously purchased and enjoyed from them:
Lester Chard
Lutum PN Sanford & Benedict
Markus Molitor Haus Klosterberg
I did try and fail to buy a Frog’s Leap SB, too.
Bit on the '17 Slacker Linne Calodo GSM @$29 and the '17 Lester Chard SCM @$25 as those seemed interesting and had a couple of good reviews in CT
New poster, but figured I’d jump in here. Bit on the '17 Domaine Besson “Le Clos” Grand Cru Chablis
Well this makes me feel a little bit better - I think I went a bit overboard yesterday but in my defense, this was my first one! I did cancel one order and reduce another few from 3 to 1 bottle each. At this point, though, I’m just hoping they come back with the Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc so I can grab an entire case this time.

Good wines, good prices particularly with free shipping. Probably going to take something special for me to bite again
You think we are going to see a Power Hour today?
Cool. Thanks for your response. I was curious because AW usually offers the remaining older vintages to their mailing list and club members at a nice discount. I don’t recall seeing the 2013 Champoux on LB, but I purchased a case from AW a year or two ago for about $45 per bottle shipped. I did purchase some of the 2014 Champoux from LB earlier this year at $48 per bottle.
An older vintage of the Esploso had been offered on AW at a discounted rate earlier in the year, but I can’t recall the vintage or price.
Actually just went back and checked and I had the 2014 and not the 2013 earlier, which was excellent.
Sorry for the confusion!
Just took a shot on the '15 Et Fille Duex Vert Vineyard Pinot. Thanks for the recommendation.
Ditto…
Went for one of the magnums of the 2013 Terre Nere Brunello for $109. Good CT scores albeit a pretty small sample size! 3 reviews, 94.5 score, 1 tasting note.
Anybody had the Heart’s Needle riesling? TRB wine for $15 can’t be too bad, right? I grabbed one
By far the worst marathon Ive seen. And the last one was the second worst, but far better than this mess.
Overall pretty disappointed. It seemed like there was a huge lack of variety (What even was that “power hour” yesterday?), and some really whacky “deals”. I ended up buying 4 bottles, but I’m only really excited about the '09 Chateau La Tour Blanche for $21. My purchases were:
- Dutton Goldfield Riesling Chileno Valley of Petaluma Gap 2017 $15.23
- Chateau La Tour Blanche Sauternes 2009 (375mL) $21.75
- Forster Winzerverein Riesling Kabinett Forster Stift Halbtrocken 2018 $11.96
- Jean Marc Bernhard Riesling Alsace 2016 $16.31
I thought about it, but didn’t pull the trigger. I got a couple of the Dutton-Goldfield Riesling, though. There’s a lot of dross in this marathon.
Not impressed with this marathon. The powerhour yesterday was a let down. Didnt spend a dime, but what a giant waste of time.
