TX Winehunter: 2005 Buccella Cabernet Sauvignon

$85 a bottle at Costco.

That is a great price. Unfortunately, our Costco here sucks when it comes to wines.

That is nuts.

How much Buccella was produced in the 2005 vintage?

That’s a good price. I went to a wine dinner in So Cal in 2008 and someone brought the 05’ Buccella and said he had paid $125 at a wine store in Los Angeles.

None in SA-town (I-10) location.

The 2007 Buccella is $300 for a 3-pack, so $100 per bottle. It is actually worth getting if you are heavy into $100+ cabs - But, since I’m trying to cutback a little, I’m passing and saving for my Maybach offer.

Wish that was here in Dallas. I too got the $100 per bottle offer for the 2007. Waiting to see more impressions. I can tell you I had the 2006 Mica over the weekend (their 2nd label) and it was ripe, with just the right about of tannins and very, very well done. We loved it (wifes 1st real wine since the baby). Thinking of jumping on the 2007s. Someone talk me out of it?

Talk you out of the Mica ? Why ? The Baby Buccella is worth it for close to 1/2 the price.

Bill - which Costo(s)? Any chance you have seen it out in Fort Worth or Southlake?

Thanks

sorry, meant the Buccella. Not seen the 07 Mica here yet.

I wouldn’t talk you out of the Buccella either. The '07 Mica has not been released yet but I can’t wait to try it.
