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

Yeah I see it again now too.

Likely a mirage anyway, knowing Wally’s.

It’s a place where you can occasionally get good deals but not often. Back when I lived in west LA and they still had a store on Westwood blvd and had a tent sale, they had 375s of 2001 Yquem at the sale for like $179. Also van winkle lot b for <300 but that ship sailed a long time ago.

true—in the 80s I lived a two minute walk away but only was successful buying if I held the purchase at the checkout counter with both hands. Other confirmed phone orders were always later cancelled, even after credit card was charged. I never ever buy online or via phone from them.

Yeah I do sometimes but have about a 33% success rate.

Should I be worried? I got 3 bottles

I mean, either you’ll get it or you won’t haha I wouldn’t worry about it either way.

Yes. You ordered 3, haven’t received 3 yet. Let us know.

Will do

The death of Santiago’s order, while tragic, probably saves lives.

Or at least storage space and marital harmony.

Right now if you try to add it to basket, it says “Unfortunately this product is not available for purchase.”

I hope people actually get them! Right now the last thing I need is more hudelot Bourgogne, as good as it is.

Santiago is getting the Hudelot because he has no code. He is getting the Hudelot because he has no honor, and God is watching.

For the folks that had it, are the CT reviews on the 2015 Hudelot Bourgogne a fair accessment? Just curious.

I found it less to my liking than other vintages. I had it sometime mid last year and it was a bit bigger and showed the heat. I’m guessing it was better when it had more fruit. But with the qualification that I prefer Chambolle from cooler vintages like 2014 generally. (I believe this is mostly declassified Chambolle, someone please correct me if I’m wrong) However at $30 it’s still very good and worth it.

I haven’t had the 15 since just after release, but it was really good then.

Vins Rare just offered 2021 Ramonet Chassagne Rouge Clos de la Boudriotte for $79. That’s darn good pricing.
