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

A few notable categories at WineBid right now:
-some v good 2001 German wines
-early 70s Sterling cabs
-lots of Bordeaux 94-02

Somebody else buy these so I won’t!

Total Wine Concierge Service has 2020 Chateau Fleur Cardinale on sale $41.47 if you get 12, $46.97 for 6-11 bottles, $49.47 for single bottles. I love this wine as an every day wine.

Also, I got an email from Total Wine to put my name on a lottery list for Pappy van Winkle and other fancy bourbons. I am a Grand Reserve member, I don’t know if that has any significance on why I got the email. So if you shop at Total Wine check your email.

Nice dump of Loire on WineBid this week ive gotta pass on: Baudry, Huet, Dutheil, Chidaine and more.

Seems like a good choice of words for the Loire

HDH has 15% off sale. Takes 13 Tait Comtes down from 175 to 148.75. Code BF15. Couple places a bit lower but this is in stock. No affiliation, yada, yada.

Hope someone on this board got the Vatan that Benchmark was selling at $53/btl. I don’t think it was a mistake as it was in my email and on the website. Sold out by the time I noticed.

Just bought two bottles of the 2019 Donnhoff Norheimer Kirscheck Spatlese from Envoyer for $34.99. Three left.

Fellow board member, Tom Mann, has the 2020 Cantermerle at £87 a six pack, less than £15 a bottle.

Link?

Best prices I’ve seen ($159) on both LP Grand Siecle #25, and 2006 Taittinger Comtes:

Good prices here, but no estimate on shipping until after purchasing is a deal breaker for me

You correct about Grand Wine Merchants. I just tried it, and they won’t give a shipping estimate. If you’re interested, I’d call them

Vinsrare has reasonable shipping to WA state. $20 for 2, $25 for 4.

Cheers,
Warren

Their shipping is pretty cheap.

I think 6 bottles across the country was about 35.

I can vouch for Grand Vin’s customer service too - always had very positive experiences with them

@Warren_Taranow is going to cause me to be sleeping in the neighbor’s dog house pretty soon with these Comtes and Lopez Blanco offers.

But, it’s Seiber Monday, I guess I can rationalize it?

Bedrock Sauvignon Blanc for $22

I don’t much like US Sauvignon blanc but seems like a decent price

That doghouse has an excellent selection of wines.

I was nearby and stayed in that same doghouse recently, it had a really impressive passive cellar and got a great write-up by Wine Advocate.
