I had access to another case of 2014 Juge on release at, I think, $50 per, and passed it on to a friend. I liked him then, but after it spiked to $400 per, I no longer like him as much. .
I should have grabbed a full case each of 2014 Lalande and Domaine de Chevalier. Futures pricing when I bought my few was silly low.
2010 Livio Sassetti Pertimali Brunello - My favorite Bdm in 2010 and only $50 a bottle, now $150-200
2014 Morlet La Proportion Doree - Tried many vintages (newer and older) and nothing compares to their 2014, it’s a perfect white Bdx blend.
2015 Chateau Margaux - Who would’ve known the price would 3x out the gate…?
‘98 Rene Rostaing La Landonne, I did have a case except the first 10 bottles were consumed too early, really didn’t show how good this wine could be until about 2 years ago. Time to have another case!
2014 Domaine Huet Le Mont sec - when it’s a great vintage, you gotta spring for it
2012 Evening Land Seven Springs pinot - found at a fire sale for high $30s and bought 3… should have done 12
2009 Musar (same sale had them for $25)… don’t ask me how. or how any were left on the shelf
Can never have enough teeter totter chardonnay… I would have purchased more of the 2015 if I could go back
This was at “Twin Liquors” - a relatively large TX retail chain with most stores (I think) between Austin and San Antonio. They have a twice yearly sale where every bottle (theoretically) drops to wholesale cost + $1… It’s a great time to stock up as they clear inventory
