What is YOUR most recent wine purchase? (Part 1)

Just powerclicked on four bottles of Rioja Bordón 1970 from Bodegas Franco-Españolas for less that £20 a pop. Absolutely in love with the silly prices on old Rioja at the moment:-D

Getting to be less common here, unfortunately. The days of dirt cheap aged rioja in the states are closing it seems

We’re all reading the same emails - I scored the last bottle of the '78 DdC. But sadly missed the '89 Graillot Crozes by minutes.

I was going to curse the day that you were born, because the bottles I thought were mine will be yours instead but when they called me to tell me that you, and not I, got lucky, I worked a deal for their last 3 bottles of 1978 Oddero Barolo La Morra for $80/btl. It is, I think a much better deal for me, so I hope you enjoy the DdC just as much!

The website has this lovely little anecdote:

What do you think of Hemingway? So asked readers of journalist Gianni Brera, who answered their literary and footballing questions in his column L’accademia di Brera (“Brera’s academy”) in the newspaper La Repubblica. His reply, in Sbornie prese per sport (“Drunk for the sake of sport”) on 12/12/1986: “Ernest drank Valpolicella because he was around Venice, and in those days the Oddero brothers of La Morra couldn’t get their wines to him. But if he’d known Oddero Barolo he would not have turned to the liquor which ultimately killed him.”

Well done, and probably true of the old man. Sorry for the switcheroo - I got the same “you’ve got it - oops, no you don’t” from Schneider’s on the Graillot.

That’s a shame. From what I hear this is happening with aged wines in the US across the board(?) - I suppose there are a lot more wine enthusiasts across the Atlantic than there were 40 years ago so stocks must be running low.

I bought the above from a Spanish dealer, and actually just clicked my way to a mixed dozen including Vina Ardanza '70, '73, and '76, CVNE Imperial, and Glorioso GR '64 and ‘66. Someone should probalby stop me from doing this soon - I’ ve run out of space in my cabinets (and other storage) and have started hiding cases under the stairs and in the shed…

Some Sean Thackrey white because it was decent and the least expensive bottle at a tasting where the fee went towards a bottle purchase.

Clearly I am excited to drink it.

On another note, the Orion was actually pretty good but the QPR was not.
