By way of a PSA, LB Recently offered the Alessandro Rivetto 2020 Langhe Nebbiolo for $15. I searched and saw that Otto had strongly praised the wine both here and on CT. Having also been happy with the '16 Barolo from this producer purchased on LB, I grabbed 8 of these and tried one right away. It is excellent. Better than a $15 LN has any right to be. After trying it I emailed to check availability. They had a few cases left and I ordered another case for myself and a 6 pack for a friend. If anyone is interested, they may still have some left.

Any thoughts on the Renzo Seghesio Ars Vivendi Langhe Rosso 2019?
I contemplated it, but only one CT review with actual description and not a lot to go on there. Iād rather spend my money on a nebbiolo than a blend unless I knew for sure that I liked it. For instance, Vajraās Langhe Rosso is widely available for $15 or less and itās a lovely little table wine blending many local varieties.

Since I discovered De Negoce, Last Bottle has lost a little luster.

Iām in the same boat, though LB can be nice to try new stuff since you can find tasting notes fairly readily.

Am I wrong or did the LB Marathons actually used to offer a discount? Seems like almost everything is basically at retail priceā¦

It is mostly at the low retail price, but with shipping included. Not a bad deal, but not ceazy good either
Yep. I buy a bunch from rando wineries to have on hand . Iāve found some stuff Iāve really really liked over the years.
I agree itās not a bad deal with shipping included, but in prior years it seems that there was a significant difference off of retail price.
