I think you are spot on. At least Google suggests that Amex personalizes offers based on card use.
Especially if you have an AMEX offer, you could do a lot worse than buying a few bottles of Bollinger Special Cuvee.
I usually get these offers after I buy something and dont need to buy anything again for awhile. I also get 50 off through B21’s wine store out of Tarpon Springs occasionally.
$50 off at B-21 would be awesome. B-21 normally prices wine competitively, without a discount.
Wait until the 21st for free shipping and a duty free purchase to sweeten the deal!
You’re welcome to mine!
Completely agree. B21’s is one of my first go to’s when buying wine. They also hold things in cold storage for up to 6 months for free.
Seghesio Rockpile is available again! I’m also very interested to try this bottle.
I wasn’t aware that they offered 6 months storage but will definitely request it during hot months. Shipping out of Florida between June-September is at your own peril ![]()
They do, but not on the 21st of the month with free shipping. I asked. ![]()
I generally put in an order or 2 a year for B21, but with them being in Florida and me in Minnesota, the free shpping 21sts are generally not favorable times to ship.
The winemaker has a really interesting background and 2016 I think was his first vintage as a head winemaker for a place. Pricey-ish, not for good napa cab, and worth adding a couple for me just to be enjoyed whenever the moment strikes.
Mystery chard tomorrow. Best guess…ABC Bien Nacido Chard for $19.99? That seems pretty good. Cant jive the vinous score with anything.
I would be a bit surprised to see ABC on WTSO, a little sad even. Their wines are so consistently excellent, but I suppose we are in a wine market downturn. No details on the vintage, but could be the ABC 2021 Bien Nacido? It did get 94 from Vinous, but it retails on ABC’s website for $40. Could also be Chanin…
I thought it might be foxen bien nacido, cuz they had their syrah featured this week too
That’s a good call. Foxen Chardonnay Tinaquaic Vineyard Estate Grown - Dry Farmed 2021 got 94 points, priced at $44. Pretty much dead on 55% off winery price.
Possible - the 2020 Bien Nacido did get 94 points from Vinous. The 55% discount part is tripping me up though. If WTSO is selling for $20, then the retail would have been ~$45?
I see that WTSO is featuring a Bordeaux flash sale tomorrow with the following offerings. I am looking to expand my old world collection. Any experience or opinions on these? Where would you put a good price point?
Château Pichon-Longueville Baron Pauillac 2019
Château Lascombes Margaux 2015
Château Tayac Cuvée Nicolas Margaux 2020
Château Clos de Sarpe Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2016
Château d’Yquem 2016 Sauternes 375ml
I am wondering the same. Seems like some nice bottles on offer
The Pichon Baron is up now for anyone interested. The “Comparable Price” is nonsensical and thus the actual retail price isn’t especially sharp, although the free shipping is nice.
It seems to be a pretty good price for 2019 vintage, no?
