Winehunter - Bert Simon Rieslings at Winex

No affiliation, other than they take a lot of my money (and Wetrock’s, and Dietz’s, and Hagen’s, and…) - just passing it on for those who did NOT receive the email, or didn’t look at it, because it seems like a good deal. FYI, I’ll be there tomorrow for a tasting if someone needs something picked up. (Jorge, if you give me crap for posting an emailed offer that you assume everybody already gets, I’ll puke on you)

Special OfferBERT SIMON 2002 SERRIG WURZBERG AUSLESE ORIGINAL RETAIL $30!
score: WS 92
add to cart $19.99 add a case $239.88

This 2002 Auslese is just peachy…and slatey and limey and…well, you get it. Not too sweet to serve on the dinner table but ripe enough to work with a bowl of fresh fruit after dinner, it’s an absolutely amazing wine for the price. Wine Spectator writes, "Like a cross between key lime pie and peach cobbler in flavor, then the mineral note comes in cleansing the finish and reminding you that this comes fr… read more
BERT SIMON 2003 SERRIG HERRENBERG AUSLESE ORIGINAL RETAIL $40!
score: WS 95
add to cart $24.99 add a case $299.88


Not your ordinary Auslese, this wine combines the filigreed, razor-sharp notes of the Saar with the richness and intensity that was all 2003. Pure fruit, no bortrytis. Wine Spectator comments, “Very exotic, showing floral, pear and apple aromas and flavors and fine concentration allied to a lightweight frame. Needs a little time to really sing, but delicious. Drink now through 2025.”

BERT SIMON 2003 SERRIG WURTZBERG AUSLESE GOLD CAPSULE ORIGINAL RETAIL $50!
score: WS 96
add to cart $28.99 add a case $347.88

We get thirsty just reading the Wine Spectator tasting notes on these bad boys! They write, “Nascent, very fresh, concentrated and marked by honey, peach, licorice and mineral notes. Intense and extremely young, with terrific balance and a long, lingering aftertaste of fruit cocktail. Best from 2008 through 2025.” Who doesn’t love fruit cocktail? read more

add to cart $29.99 add a case $359.88

The 1999 vintage in Germany was another one that was perceived as bit low in acid. But not in the Saar! The Saar sizzled, giving wines with fabulously floral fruit, wonderful persistence, and intense staying power. This Gold Cap Wurtzberg Auslese is a knockout, and drinks perfect right now…trust us, we know! An absolute steal… read more
BERT SIMON 03 SERRIG HERRENBERG AUCTION AUSLESE GOLD CAPSULE ORIGINAL RETAIL $60+!
score:
add to cart $29.99 add a case $359.88

The ‘regular’ Herrenberg Auslese scored a whopping ‘95’ from Spectator so just imagine what this one would have scored…had they ever seen it. Another 2003 that doesn’t show an ounce of heat from the vintage. Fresh as a friggin’ daisy. Crazy good. Slate, tropical fruits, lime, saffron, you name it, you’ll find it in this one. This wine was extremely limited in production, the only … read more
BERT SIMON 2003 SERRIG HERRENBERG BEEREN AUSLESE ORIGINAL RETAIL $85!

A ‘BA’ from a top producer for $40 a 750ml? Yup. Not a misprint. Only 36 bottles, and judging from the way the Herrenberg Auslese wines tasted it would be in your best interest to jump on this… read more

Talk about your no-brainers. An Eiswein, from one of the greatest producers in Germany, in one of the greatest Eiswein vintages ever, with bottle age, at 40% off! You should already be pushing ‘add to cart’. Only 24 bottles… read more

That’s right, this price is for a 750ml bottle, not the usual 375ml. Tell you straight up, this wine cost more than this just to make! As Wine Spectator correctly wrote, “Pure and detailed, this exhibits orange, lime, lemon and peach candy flavors on an elegant frame. Balanced with a subtlety and lingering finish. Drink now through 2018.” read more

I’ve purchased from them many a time - both shipped to me and pickup. They have these sales from time to time, primarily European wines - great folks, knowledgeable…

Todd… please check your CT report for `Purchases over time’ cuz I’m thinking you are very close to violating your monthly budget on day 2 of this month… and please, please, don’t tell me about any more f*%king wines you like, that are great deals, that are steals or whatever…

and WTF? You’ll be at the Kermit tasting on Thursday?? Then get your ass over to my house after, and I’ll give you the wine I so graciously picked up for you… if you were going anyway, what am I? Your wine bitch??? [middle-finger.gif]

I wasn’t planning on going, or I certainly wouldn’t have had your grubby hands touching my valued wine, but, if I hadn’t asked you to pick them up, how would you have known what to buy this month??

I’ll stop by if you are around in the 5-6 range…are you?

Indeed, the 2003 Auslese is very special. Bert Simon is an old friend of mine, and so I had the pleasure to enjoy a lot of his wines over the decades. He was a pioneer here in our region… in many respects. Unfortunately he retired in 2006….Thanks for the nice report, Todd!

Thanks for Joining us Rudi! I’ll have to see if they have anything left tomorrow when I drop by.

Good luck with that Cris. I went in this afternoon to see if I couldn’t round up some of the ones that said they were sold out online and they were running around like crazy grabbing these off the floor to fill orders. I was able to get the following, but I know that all three of these are gone…

Thanks Jeremy. They often leave some on floor for locals but I don’t think that is always the case for these great specials. The $20 Priorat was all gone also the other day.

That’s exactly why I went in there. I was grabbing wines on the floor and they were even telling me to check up front to make sure those bottles were even in stock before I brought them up to purchase. Luckily I was able to sneak out with a few! (not literally…I paid for them. )

I was going to grab some of that Priorat, but was too late on it. You get any?

Nope! I still have problems getting the specials on email. I hear about some of them second hand. Heard about the Priorat from Garagiste! Trying a gmail account next and crossing my fingers I will start receiving the emails.
