Under $100 for 2022 Cazetiers with the coupon is a great price for that wine. I have a couple '20 that are well made, but a bit ripe and I’m giving them some time. I’m guessing '22 tempered the ripeness vs. '20 and are more approachable young.

K&L has some 2025 Canon (375ml) available. I bought a bit. Not calling it a deal but I was not finding a ton of 375ml BDX from CA stores (which I prefer).
They also have two Big Basin Pinots for $20 (insider), a name I’ve seen mentioned here a few times. Actually they have quite a few CA wines at substantial discounts. Sign o the times I guess.
WHWC Summer Sale has some decent to good deals across a wide swath

For those are in east Bay Area, Fremont Raley’s are discounting some wines.

Below are some I bought/remembered:
Nalle Dry Creek Zin 2022: $12.12 (I grabbed 3, still 3 left)
Diatom Chardonnay 2024: $7.99 (I grabbed 3, still like 6 left)
Rutherford Hill AJT Sauvignon Blanc: $9.99 (I grabbed 1, still 3 left)
Boen Chardonnay: $5ish, didnt grab any, still like 10 left
Quilt Sauvignon Blanc: $5ish, didnt grab any, still like 10 left
Ch St.Michelle Brut: $6ish, didnt grab any, still like 6 left…
There are more left but I dont remember, most of them are less than $10

Gamay sale on Kermit Lynch website today - use code GAMAY30 for 30% off selected Gamays
Crazy good deal ( without knowing which bottling but any BB Pinot at that price would be great unless it’s over the hill).

They seem to be blowing out wines post-2015
Crush has some things on a summer sale. I am tempted on a handful of items, but likely passing after an already ridiculous month. Still want to pick up some more Champagne too - can’t have it all.
Best deals seem to be 19 trapet mag, 23 Coche meursault, 21 Rousseau beze, 13 mg clos vougeot and 13 Roumier ruchottes

I saw that. I went a little nuts this month so trying to behave. Haha
A tongue in cheek entry here… Percy’s Liquors in downtown Juneau, AK has these beauties on the top shelf, next to a lone bottle of Opus, a couple bottles of Duckhorn, and sea of plonk. There were 2 or three of each. I wish there had been someone there who could tell me the story of how these came to rest in a poorly temperature controlled cruise town shop specializing in brown liquors. But it remains a mystery.

Hey, if you gotta gamble on wines sitting around in uncontrolled temps, Alaska is your best bet by far!

Excellent point, and I did consider that, but the shop felt like it was around 80 degrees while it was raining and mid 50s outside. It was too big a gamble for me.

Nice, Geneva had 2021 Shafer HSS for $180. Nothing else really of significance other than a bunch of low cost Australian wines.
If you like KB, that’s a helluva good price.
