Tempting wine purchases you’ve passed on—give others a shot

Had to jump on a few '13 Cristal mags from BI at $505 ex UK, but there’s plenty more.

Great deal

Would be even better last year with the higher dollar and no tariffs, but still very good.

Picked up some of the 244. Thanks!

In case someone isn’t on their list, MacArthurs has some older La Mission Haut Brion; above my pay grade so have no idea if pricing is decent. @Robert.A.Jr

Latest (last?) drop of Vins Rare Bastille Day sale is active - 15% off select red Burgs. Some good buys on the lower end, including Sylvain Pataille, Berthaut-Gerbet, J-M Pillot and Simon Bize.

lol, they did the classic of jacking up some prices and lowering them again :slight_smile:

Ended up finding a deal or two on that sale

First Bottle has ‘18 Beringer Private Reserve for $80.50/btl if you buy 2, free shipping. Thats a very good deal if you like these.

First time buyer can get extra $$ off by stacking referral link, and possibly amex or capital one offers.

Flickinger is having their annual clearance sale this Tuesday to Friday. Discounts progressively get larger starting noon CT on Wednesday and Thursday. Based on their inventory right now, I think most of the buying opportunities will be on Bordeaux, Rhone and Piedmont.

Really good deals for PA folks, $480 for Harlan 2017 and $240 for Bond Vecina:

I know not a fashionable label around here but quite a bargain for those who are interested, at Hi Time

Got that email yesterday. Super tempted by some bottles there.

Binny’s Chicagoland has a pretty deep discount on 2017 Klipsun Cabernet Sauvignon Klipsun Vineyard if that’s your jam.

E&R has a 15% off sale for the month of September - some fabulous boutique oregon wines that are often discussed here - Niew, Morgen Long, Fujita, Jess Miller, etc. I just ordered some more Championship Bottle! @Saul_Mutchnick

Oh that’s a great deal, and they have a pretty awesome selection of both classic and new producers [edited for clarity–harvest brain].

One new winery that I’d highlight for you (and anyone else reading) is Meliora wines, which is Alex Fortson’s new label. He was the assistant at Twill (and is a friend) (and also worked at E&R for a while and built their current website) and has a really stellar palate and wine-mind. The '23s (his first vintage) are really good.
