Goldfish was fiyah
By the time I realized, I was 4 sets in :rofl:

The Spydatek one was good. The Nate the DJ one was the one I was on at the time. Fixed

Much appreciated, Scott!

In for the Boroli Barolos… It’s only a couple more bottles, surely it will all fit in the wine fridge…

LIBRARY RELEASE: 2015 Joseph Chamonard Morgon 3pk

Direct from the winery, one. of the most transcendently delicious library Beaujolais’ I’ve ever tasted. There’s not much else I can say beyond my strongest recommendation except that Pierre Overnoy served it recently to his harvest interns with great satisfaction. Also @Otto_Forsberg loves it. Super limited!

WINE EXPLORERS CLUB - Introduction to the Almeida Hotel Bucaco Wines 3pk

It’s been almost fifteen years since I first tasted the sublime and sophisticated wines of Almeida/Bucaco hotel and whenever they become available (maybe every few years), I leap on the chance to load up. They are coastal Portugal’s answer to the long-lived, spellbinding wines of Lopez de Heredia and especially with the White and Rose, will shatter your expectations.

Wine Explorer's Club - Library Poggio di Sotto Pack - Sangiovese Greatness 2pk

Includes one bottle each of 2011 Poggio di Sotto Brunello di Montalcino and 2017 Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino

I am an evangelist for Sangiovese. It’s always considered a second tier grape but fuck that because it’s just not true.

Poggio di Sotto’s Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino are some of the greatest Sangioveses produced. Even better, they’re more delicious and interesting and easy to appreciate than more expensive Brunello brethren. Even better than that, they are a truly traditional example of Tuscan winemaking, utilizing large Slavonian oak which lets Sangiovese’s wide range of delicious accents show off without too much international oakage.

WINE EXPLORERS CLUB - Introduction to the rejuvenated Boroli Barolos

Boroli is a newer winery with the family beginning production in 1997. In early years, they were influenced by the modernist trend in Piedmont, but beginning in 2012, the son, Achille, having raised the family’s restaurant to Michelin-starred status, took the reins at the winery. What followed was a striking transformation that leaves Boroli as a source of immaculately farmed, classicly styled Nebbiolos that are still largely unknown by collectors.

Wine Explorers Club - Emmanuel Rouget Cros Parantoux 2pk - 2014 and 2015

The historic plot made famous by Henri Jayer, the tradition carried on brilliantly by his descendants.

97-99 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

The 2015 Vosne-RomanƩe 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, raised entirely in new oak, has a very clean and precise, yet incredibly intense bouquet, layers of red and black fruit loaded with minerals, all with wonderful precision. The palate is extremely precise, perhaps one of the nose I have encountered in recent years, with laser-like focus, perfect acidity and a gentle grip on the Richebourg-like finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a stunning Cros Parantoux, stunning. (NM)

95 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

The 2014 Vosne-RomanƩe 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, of which there are seven barrels this year, has a beautifully defined bouquet, very pure and precise with wild strawberry, limestone, rose petal and a touch of blood orange. You miss a heartbeat just nosing this wine. The palate is precise, refined and very pure, a silver bead of acidity, so much energy on the finish as it fans out in graceful fashion. There is incredible persistence here, a brilliant Cros Parantoux with which Uncle Henri would have been proud. [Neal Martin, 09/28/2017]

If you put me in charge of the wine for dinner, I’m bringing my A+ game. Delicious, compelling and broadly-appealing wines that not only suit most palates, they elevate even middling chef skills to the stratosphere. Potent quality from a special, flavor-packed red Burgundy, a ā€œhow-did-you-even-know-about-thatā€ Northern Rhone with a special backstory, and a traditionalist Barolo with soaring aromas, silky texture and beguiling complexity. Your dinner party will be so fucking legendary you might be forced to do an encore performance. Better buy two.

Wine Explorers Club - Introduction to Cascina Baricchi's Iconic Barbaresco - The Extinct Twin of Nebbiolo - 3pk

The mysterious Nebbiolo Rose is a red wine bottled by exactly one producer in the world: Cascina Baricchi.

Historically, this clone/cousin was known for its exquisite perfume, tender texture and luminous color. High-end Nebbiolo complexity with a gentle friendliness one might more reasonably expect from the Cote d’Or.

I was tasting this wine last night and spit some out to evaluate some other wines. Later (don’t judge), I smelled the spit bucket and I was momentarily struck by the urge to drink it. THAT’S HOW GOOD THIS WINE SMELLS. No, I didn’t drink the spit. But I hope you understand.

Wine Explorers Club - VOLTFRUIT - The Electric Ludes Riesling Kabinetts -6pk Sampler

Is it possible to bottle an icicle? To vinify a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick? If anyone can do it, it’s Julian Ludes, the man making wines from the 1960’s that somehow are exactly what we needed in 2026.

Riesling from the coldest reaches of the already cold Mosel - taut, imperceptibly fruity wines that make most Chardonnays taste like Sauternes by comparison. Like an immaculate line drawing that doesn’t need any shading nor any color - all the detail is there in stark, delicious obviousness. Incredible flavor, spine-tingling acidity. The best.

If you are on the fence about picking up some of this wine, absolutely take my word for it and DO IT. Jason’s wine is incredible, especially the Paso and Diamond valley cabs. Highly recommend!! I first picked some up two years ago at berserker day, and have been hooked since.

Thank you Eric! That’s extremely kind. And true.

This is the Paso Cabernet Eric is referring to. It’s incredibly tasty and comes from a unique background. Own-rooted, old vines planted on limestone give a good acidity to balance the happy labrador fruit.

You’re a bad f’ing Man Jason, you got me with De Souza and now I would love to try the Bucaco wines!

Omg please get the bucaco wines they are legitimately amazing but people have no idea what portuguese wines should be like. Same with the lagrein!!
