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

Jon
Made a further enquiries; it is an owc 6 bottle case. The original owc was only sold in 12 bottle format. I understand it has been stored with a negotiant for a number of years.

All my purchases over the spring/summer are starting to arrive at Domaine. Went by today to see what I had easy access to as Domaine is constructing new lockers (bad timing).

Seth Long sent out my second mixed case of 2019 chardonnays, but also this which I wasn’t expecting. As a thank you for supporting his wines [cheers.gif]

That’s a big bottle

If you’re getting comped Chard mags for all your Chard purchases and not riesling ones, you’re hoarding the wrong variety neener

In all seriousness though, Seth’s wines are awesome and I should probably seek out some mags at some point. My order finally arrived at Domaine. Will be cracking some bottles soon.

If I were living in Germany and JJ Prum, Willi Schaefer, Von Schubert Maximin Grunhaus, etc. were fledgling producers perhaps I’d have a chance neener

Which of Seth’s wines have you tried so far? On this reload I got some more X Omni (I have close to a full case at this point), WV, Seven Springs, and got a couple Memorie and pink label.

Nice buy! Tough to find ‘82’s with that kind of provenance.

So far only Memorie II and Seven Springs. Been meaning to crack open X Omni. Will probably open one Sunday

X Omni is a riesling drinker’s chardonnay. Give it 2 hours in the decanter and enjoy.

What’s a “riesling drinker’s chardonnay”? Can this be applied to other grapes as well (riesling drinker’s Sauvignon, etc…)?

High acidity and tension. It’s the coolest site Seth gets grapes from, and the last he picks in the season. It’s definitely chardonnay, but in the structure of riesling.

Yeah I kind knew that was the answer (nice acidity, mineral streak, etc.). It’s just fun to poke at stereotypes :slight_smile:. A Loire drinker’s Bordeaux is region to region but grape to grape is harder… Cabernet Franc drinker’s Cabernet Sauvignon? Frappato drinker’s Gamay?

4x Bernard Baudry Les Granges 2020

Might not seem like a big deal, but here in New Zealand walking into a store and seeing this on the shelf doesn’t happen everyday.

A nice mixed case special.

2017 Domaine Frederic Esmonin Ruchottes Chambertin
2015 Joseph Drouhin Chambertin-Clos de Beze
2017 Jean Marc-Millot Echezeaux

I was tempted by all three of those.

Bottle list seems to have good deals but doesn’t ship to me.

17 Esmonin ruchottes is cheaper at other sites, though.

6 x 2010 Olga Raffault Chinon Les Picasses

6 x 2014 Olga Raffault Chinon Les Picasses

This is my third reload on the 2014, such an outstanding vintage for this producer. If anyone wants a classic Chinon that may drink like some of the great 89’s, this is it.
