Yeah, I wasnāt able to sit around the house all day waiting for it and I canāt even request a hold with UPS mychoice. I emailed Lastbottle asking them to pull the shipment back because of the potential freezing of these bottles.
For what itās worth, Iām in the same boat. I got an email last Wednesday saying that a shipping label had been printed, and I emailed Last Bottle immediately asking if they could hold my shipment because of the record cold that was expected.
I got a reply from Last Bottle saying that my bottles had already shipped, and that I should contact them if something doesnāt look right when the wine arrives. So not super helpful.

Omfg that is dumb. Thatās also not how they say their marathon shipping works
This is a common theme throughout this 11 yr old thread. Take the time and look. Itās free shipping on their terms.

FWIW, any time Iāve bought Marathon stuff, I make sure to put āweather holdā in the comments section in the order, and Iāve never had a problem.

This isnāt marathon shipping. Itās the bottles that I bought in the days after it ended. I canāt hold things on my end with UPS so LastBottle can deal with it at this point. Idiotic company

That was fast, thanks!
Luke Skywalker = (Mark) Hamel (sp)
Power couple winemaker - Family
Strip of land - Isthmus
I was thinking Levy & McClelland but nothing (especially the price points) line up
Listed at 16%! Yeesh.
You were on the right track. I believe Martha McClellan is the winemaker for Isthmus.

Anyone familiar with the Giacosa offer today? Canāt find a lot of info/reviews on this wine (CT looks mediocre), but there was one thread from a few years ago that the 2014 was a good buy (The puzzle of Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo ? - #11 by Ken_V).

LBW is showing the 2019 Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo dāAlba, not the Valmaggiore. This wine is widely available for less than LBW has it today. I have not tasted this wine, but 2019 seems a strong vintage in the Langhe.

Was going to say much the same thing as Ken. Iād consider it for the Valmaggiore, not for this wine. Iāve loved the '19s Iāve had, think it should be an excellent vintage, but no interest in this wine at this price.

Imagine my surprise to see that LastBottle decided to ship my marathon bottles today. Temps in most of middle America are in the single digits and I already have sent bottles back to them due to them shipping in shit weather. I think Iām officially done with them.
