Great point about storage pulls. If a person not only buys it, but thinks well enough about it to put in storage, it’s almost always exciting when they come back home! Unless (hypothetically of course, it’s never happened to me) a person forgets about some stuff, and pulls them back after they’ve left their prime drinking window. Then it’s more of a “fingers’ crossed” kind of exercise!
All of my purchases from the USA get consolidated in Domaine Chicago and then shipped to PR twice a year. Every time I get a pallet from Domaine Chicago it feels like Christmas Eve…
Probably my 2012 Willi Schaefers. I am still haunted by the #14 Auslese…
I’ve gotten a bunch of other deliveries over the last few months but that’s one that stands out in my memory for the kid in a candy store feeling as I opened the box from Chambers St.
