Looks more like a chasm than a crack 
. Well done.

Iām not going to pretend that I got them for a steal, but the pricing was compelling enough to leap into said chasm

Not my typical preferences, but getting more into Rieslings and trying to bridge a friendās strong NZ SB preferences into at least somewhat more complex wines!
Nice haul! Would be quite interested in jurisdiction and prices, as I like comparing prices. (Also curious relative to at allocation.)
I do not believe my price point is not a good reference as i) I had purchased all the Goodfellow wines on the shelf before asking if they had more on the back; ii) once I received the list of unpriced wines, I indicated that Iād purchase all; iii) they listed some Heritage cuvees as just single vineyard bottlings, which I realized when I opened the boxes back home. I paid $1,900 plus tax in DC. They said they were glad that those wines went to someone who loves the producer.
I thought 4 cases of Goodfellow enough for the week but just placed an order of a case of Extra Brutā¦ Happy Vindependence Day!
