I’m with you here. It’s all good, especially for the price.
This thread implored me to open another 2006 Cain Five.
Give the 2006 a 1-2 hr decant and let it shine. Absolutely fantastic wine in every way! So glad I have 2 more bottles.

I’ve had a chance to try Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cellarius Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, #I and II. I (valley floor) was very well aged with fine tannins, smooth and balanced. My wife really liked it since she had several glasses and rarely has more than 1 or 2. Too aged for my taste as I like more tannic structure. II (hillside) had tannins, so was much more to my liking. I expect III (mountain) to be even more tannic and plan to drink soon. I would give the 2 wines scores of 92-93, along the lines of what the Cellarius wines have been receiving from pro reviewers. I can’t see many of these being sold out of the tasting room for $150 a pop and for me, paying $50 is too much, but it is interesting trying and comparing the grape vine elevations.

Picked up a bottle of the Rauzan-Gassies 2016.
Not the craziest value but a fair step cheaper than what I could get online.
Happy Saturday!! Does anyone have any last bottle codes?? Trying to buy some of the Sauternes that are up right now. Thanks
I dont, but i pulled the trigger on the deal. Big sauternes fan, and always looking for some ‘everyday’ bottles to enjoy. Has pretty good recent reviews on CT so was easy buy.

Yeah I bought 4 bottles as well before “ it selles out” and 2014 was a great year so it’s a no brainer at that price.
In for four for my daughter’s birth year.

What do people think of the Cascina Adelaide Barolo Baudana up for $49?
I would buy it again but try to keep my hands off it this time.
Feels difficult to find anything better for the money IMO.

Anyone have thoughts on the Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape?
I’ve had several bottles of Domaine de la Janasse CdP (and CdR’s) across several vintages and find them to be consistent and excellent quality. Definitely worth checking out imo.

supposed to be really good. I bought a few bottles several years back after a winery tasting and they ended up both being corked after aging them for around 10 years.

Looks like a Cain Five vertical is up on First Bottle (07, 08, and 09) with free shipping. (Dm if you’d like a referral link to take $10 off.)
First time I ordered from them in a few years and what do they do? They ship in the middle of a major heat wave.
fortunately it’s a short distance and hopefully it goes overnight and gets delivered in the morning to the FedEx office
I’m not overly worried, but it’s kind of silly that they shipped in the middle of the heat wave

15 posts were merged into an existing topic: More shipping stupidity - wine shipping issues/complaints
Could we maybe break out a new/mega thread for wine shipping issues across the board? It’s getting pretty tedious in here. This thread should remain on topic: Last Bottle deal discussion, per the title.

Thomas, in the future, rather than report so many posts, just use your post within the thread to tag moderators with a request to break off some posts from others
