Money Question - what’s a “daily drinker” price?

[MChang]

@ErnestL

This is a great thread. It’s very interesting and helpful to read about how everyone approaches this, from a practical, budgetary, health, and frequency perspective.

For me, @Bill_Schneller, @Sarah_Kirschbaum, and @MChang summed it up best - I’m trying to get to the point where I have a steady rotation of daily drinkers that have aged a few years in the bottle. In the meantime, I need some bottles to hold me over.

What prompted my original thread was frustration with recent purchases. I don’t want to pull from my existing stock yet; I’m waiting for those bottles to hit their stride in a few years. So I go to the store to look for something in the under $30 range. But shooting blind, the last few times I’ve been sorely disappointed by how flat my pick was.

Thankfully, this forum has given me lots of promising options to try.

As a PSA, the 2021 Hudelot-Noellat is on sale at Zachy’s for $45: https://www.zachys.com/wine/bourgogne-rouge-hudelot-noellat-2021-750ml-536857.html

Even better if you can stack the deal below.

amex promo for $50 off $250 at zachys, in addition there is a winter clearance going on and free shipping with “freeshipdec”

That’s a great wine at that price; im a huge fan of 21 for current/near term drinking and if you have that coupon and get in around 40 that’s pretty wonderful.
