Every 30 minutes they’re going to offer something new. The wine may sell out prior to 30 minutes. There may or may not be values associated with this sale. YMMV.

They seem to be wanting a magnum premium for these…
Yup, so far I have not been impressed with their prices, despite WTSO normally having great prices on 750’s.
Here’s the updated list of what they’ve had on offer (w/o prices): x.com
I did buy champagne, but that’s it so far.
I grabbed a couple of the 8:30 to 9:00 a.m. 2010 Bordeaux something something magnums.
hmm… wonder how much they were selling the cristal and the insignia for…
Cristal was $499.99…no insignia from the looks of it.
These links help:
hmm… their twitter page said 09 insignia at 7:05am…
oh wells…
$500 for cristal mag is ok i guess… for free shipping and no tax… would have been better at $400 
I just looked at the list so far with prices, and I would not have bought a single one of those. And this exercise is really impressing on me that I don’t care much for magnums. I hope they do a half-bottle marathon in the future!
As did I - that was actually relatively cheap, but otherwise I agree with most posters - it’s quite a premium.
Grabbed some Ribiera at $100 for a 2 pack
Anybody know how accurate the “best internet price” comparison really is?
I admit to being dubious any time I see those claims.
Example: the Tenuta dei Setti Cieli ‘Indaco’ 2007 Magnum at 59.00 seems proper, with 31.00 being what I find on a 750ml search for the wine.
Wtso might be the worst offender I know for rolling in inflated shipping costs into their price comparison. I have also seen obvious ‘errors.’
Pricing looks dubious. Vellum Mags. $99.99. CT community average value for a 750 - $37.88. But I am not a big mag buyer, so I don’t mind.
I grabbed 2 Haut Gravet St Emillion (CT reviews were solid), and 2 of the Cotes du Rhone so far. Figured they will be good for holiday dinners or BBQs.
-27% accurate.
generally i try to cross check CT against winesearcher… release/club/allocation pricing may be very different from retail pricing…
Only one I tried to buy, a Barolo. By the time I checked its pricing on WS, and read about it a bit, it was gone. Oh well.
Overall, I was underwhelmed with the Magnum sale. I just picked up the aforementioned 4 bottles.
