Vivino (Deal discussion)

Mind opening up one of those ‘14s? Ya know…for science, the greater good, etc.?

Nope, they’re off in storage.

I see it now. $60 is a great price, I think I payed closer to $100 for the 2014. Go ahead and get a few!

Vivino is REALLY trying to get me to buy On Q for some reason.

Melka Padrewaki Syrah is back in sale, toggle between the vintages and buy the 2021 for $45. The 2020 is also for sale for $60. I previously bought the 2020 for $40, so $45 for a better vintage (2021) is OK in my book.

Seems to be a few new ones out there…including a ‘mystery’ 2018 Black Cat Rutherford Reserve for $45 and a separate Melka (this one from France) for roughly 50 bones. Also see a familiar Berserker name in Bougetz, with their 2022 cab sourced from the Caldwell Vineyard in Coombsville for only $20. Any feedback on any of these new offerings?

The Bougetz at $20 is an absolute steal. Thanks for posting. I got some!

Melka Estate French wine back as well…$52.

Also 2019 Fleury Estates Sauv Blanc for $18? Probably too old, right?

Hoping this Bougetz is good, just bought two cases of it to split up amongst 7 different neighbors (and 2 for me)!

Impressive commitment. I think there is promise from the reviews I am seeing. Can’t always trust the numbers. Fortune favors the bold.

An interesting wine, for sure. Excellent price too

Out of curiosity, are you shipping with ice packs or taking a chance with the heat?

I’m on the east coast so the shipping typically takes two days, but occasionally Vivino ships from California, which takes significantly longer.

I am in Atlanta and yes, in my experience, World of Wine ships from Ohio and takes two days to get here, so I always ship with ice packs in the summer (if I absolutely have to ship, which I prefer not to do!).

World of wine also ships from CA. I’m an hours drive from Napa and some of my orders were shipped from there (arriving the next morning) and others bounced along I-80 for several days from Ohio.

i’m east coast, my older orders were coming from Ohio in 2 days, now most are coming from Cali and taking a week or so

I also bit on the Bougetz. $15 off 12 bottles but $12 for ice packs - mostly a wash.

Reading previous Berserker Day threads on the Bougetz makes me optimistic. Pretty nice price on a single vineyard Coombsville cab.

Here’s to hoping the weather doesn’t destroy them!

Speaking of Coombsville…any guesses on today’s $80 mystery wine? Originally $315?

2013 Marita’s Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. The photo of the bottle loaded when I clicked on it in the app. lol

Yeah, Vivino has not quite mastered the mystery offering with the reviews still available and showing. However, I not made at it!

My Sunday order shipped last night.

What is this?

Sorry - I meant, what is that wine? Martha’s Vineyard Estate? I obviously know Heitz, but what’s this?
