We have the following California Cabernets (over 20 years old) for sale. As denizens of our previous board know, Carollee and I don’t enjoy Cabs that much any more. So we’ve decided to sell some:

1978 Sterling Reserve (2)
1977 Mayacamas
1981 Stags’ Leap Wine Cellars Stags’ Leap Vineyard
1983 Grgich Hills (2)

They have been stored in a controlled 55F cellar, since acquistion from the winery at release

My asking price is:
$75 / bottle to cherry pick
$60 / bottle for one or more cases

Price does not include shipping to you.

I’ll consider any alternate offers.

Dick, any update here?

ToddFrench · January 28, 2009, 5:19pm

Yeah, I didn’t hear back either…

Dick_Krueger · January 28, 2009, 6:00pm

Sorry for the delay, I was busy with dinner last night. I’m now working out who gets what based on time of first response. I’ll get back to every one after lunch at Maria’s today.

Dick, I don’t see any on your list, but it’s worth a shot: do you have any '72s for sale? I’m not a big Cali Cab person either, but I understand it’s about the only place on Earth that had a good vintage in my birth year, and I’ve never had one!

Dick_Krueger · January 28, 2009, 6:13pm

Melissa-

I don’t think so, but I’ll check and let you know.

ToddFrench · January 28, 2009, 6:31pm

How about '71??

Dick_Krueger · January 28, 2009, 6:38pm

Melissa-

Sorry no '72s showed up in the inventory

Todd-

I may have a '71 Inglenook Cask 38, if you’re interested, I’ll try to find it.

ToddFrench · January 28, 2009, 6:42pm

Definitely!

Dick_Krueger · January 28, 2009, 11:02pm

Todd,

I found it. It’s yours. What else do you want beyond the Dominus and the Inglenook?

Steve_Saxon · January 28, 2009, 11:14pm

I have a bottle of the 72 Heitz Martha that I’d be happy to open if you ever made it up here.

M_M_c_C_a_l_l · January 29, 2009, 2:51am

I’m on my way!

Hi Dick, PM sent.

Thanks, Michael

Natalie_Pilon · February 2, 2009, 7:11pm

Hi Dick,

I sent a PM (I think) asking for an update about what might still be available. Looks like you have some great wines!

Dick_Krueger · February 2, 2009, 7:47pm

I plan on putting up another post today with the wines that are left.

ToddFrench · February 2, 2009, 8:35pm

Dick - I thought we got them all, no? You digging in the cellar to find new ones?

Cris_Whetstone · February 2, 2009, 8:45pm

Yeah I completely missed the Sterlings. Can you find more?
