Insane
Good grab on the Leclerc-Briant, is that the 2018?
Yes sir
Brian, youāre going to need to build another cellarā¦
Lovin those beers! Had me some on Wednesday with takeout sushi!
This has become my ritual after my midweek sessionwith my trainer.
If my Wife sees any more incoming without any outgoing Iāll be sleeping in the cellar soon. I opened 8 bottles if wine this week plus a 3L BIB. I got 13 bottles plus 12 beers delivered.
Iām no expert, but that math checks out.
Although I knew Iād spend a lot this weekend, I learned a local wine shop held 4 cases of Goodfellow and couldnāt resist.

1 x 2017 Roy Piper Cabernet Sauvignon
Been good for a few months but finally crackedā¦
2 x 2008 Raveneau Valmur
1 x 2014 Raveneau Clos
2 x 2022 Lamy-Caillat La Romanee
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
Tasting at DāOliveiras on Madeira today, couldnāt resist getting a couple of bottles to bring home:
1988 DāOliveiras Terrantez
1990 DāOliveiras Malvazia
Recent purchase (one each) from Wine Access, all for < $100, due to multiple deals/discounts (details here).
- 2022 Weingut Okonomierat Rebholz Riesling Vom Rotliegenden Birkweiler Pfalz; $58

- 2022 La Chablisienne Emotions Minerales Saint-Bris; $24
- 2019 Schnaitmann Schnait Dry Riesling Württemberg; $30
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 Brut⦠Happy Vindependence Day!
What was the store?
Haha, wowāvery nice indeed! Still, interesting, and good to know.
Cheers and Happy Vindependence Day!
