Came close. I suspect it’s a good SB—from New Zealand if I had to guess. Was thinking it might be this Clos Henri. Did seem fairly low risk.
Jon has offered Clos Henri before. I buy wines like this to serve to family and friends who like SB, not for my own consumption.
I couldn’t resist the Tokaji. It’s been a while since I had one.
Secret 97pts BdB for $59, idk… How good are the mystery bubbles offerings usually?
I just swore I’m done with Garagiste after my last bottle filled out a case. It’s been largely disappointing and the mysteries are generally average at best. You’re better off buying one great bottle at 2x the price.
I will continue to buy a lot of their pantry items. Baci di dama, olive oils, artichokes. Best artichokes.
It’s probably worth about what he is asking for it, or slightly more, and you don’t get to chose a style you prefer.
It’s been said like 85 times in this thread, but they do much better with some areas than others. Italy they tend to do well and I had good luck with some Port mysteries. I’d be more wary of some regions, and especially the “anywhere in the world” or similar stuff. I’ve had good luck with the Italian mysteries.
