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

Wholesale costs on both of the Cotat Sancerre wines are up $8 and change year over year here in the metro NYC area.

Many of the offer I’m seeing on the east coast are close to doubled compared to last year. That big price jump doesn’t seem fully explained by the rise in wholesale cost.

2020 Dr. Loosen Dr. L. Had to get rid of a $5.00 off coupon at total wine. Lowest wine purchase ever at $4.00.

I honestly don’t know for sure but I am thinking Skurnik got less as my allocation through a NYS store was cut in 1/2 from the prior year.

And while I am noting an upwards shift in pricing too, Crush’s pricing does seem to buck this trend for what it’s worth.

There’s certainly a handful of stores that are selling Cotat’s in the $60 range. Sort of what I’d expect pricing to be at given the wholesale price increase.

What I’m struggling to understand is the number of stores selling it for in $80+ range

Spent 4 days in Napa visiting wineries; it was an amazing visit with beautiful wines
Purchased too much to list each wine [truce.gif]

Adamvs
Nine Suns (picked up 3 paks of the 11-14 vintages)
Plinth
Quivet
Bench (new to me Mike Smith)
Vice Versa (was able to get some Mysterons and Magnificent 7; also ordered a case of Commando G La Bruja de Rosas based on a conversation with Ilse).
Memento Mori (great opportunity to buy some back vintages)
Seven Apart (first time trying these wines)
Arrow & Branch (first time trying these wines)
TOR
Bevan (bought some older vintages in addition to more of the current release)
Rivers-Marie (bought a little more of some favorites)
Pulido-Walker (first time trying these wines)

We had a wonderful visit and tasting with Nigel, but sadly no Kinsman Eades available to purchase

I will need to greatly augment the holiday gifts for my UPS and FedEx delivery folks.

Even more 2019 Wasenhaus 2019 spatburgunders - my sense is increasingly so that this will be the last readily available vintage in the US, as the wines have gained a lot of popularity and many retailers have started to allocate pretty strictly this vintage. As a result I am essentially buying everything I can.

Just be wary of the Grande Ordinaire. It’s super natty, not what I expect from Wasenhaus. Fine if you like that kind of thing, but we drank one (well, some of it) and gave the other 5 away.

Thankfully I saw your note on Instagram before I bought any of that bottling :slight_smile:

Cheval Blanc 1982 6 bottles ex chateau

Is this a recent ex chateau offering?

1x '06 Pride Mountain Vineyards Vintner Select Merlot
1x '10 Pride Mountain Vineyards Vintner Select Merlot
1x '18 Once & Future Zinfandel Oakley Road Vineyard

Understand it came directly from the chateau a few years ago, but also a late release.

JACKPOT
9 bottles of VCC 1998. I have been hunting this for several weeks ever since I drank an incredible bottle. Perfect fills, labels.
Didn’t hurt there was a single bottle of the unicornish Magdelaine 1985 was offered.
