I had placed many orders with wine.com last year, but since I live in Florida, none shipped til December. I mentioned up thread where I had one issue with a box arriving with my purchase order but someone else’s wine; what I had ordered in July was no longer available so I received a credit. I was r...

Opened a 2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Limerick Lane Vineyard last night. Fresh, loaded with fruit, so easy to drink.

Very interested in the rose (in addition to the cabs, of course)! I don't think I have ever had a rose made by Mike Smith. We go through a lot of rose year round here in Florida. Mike has done a few Rosé in the past for Salt Vine where he picked at low brix. It’s been really good. I’d expect this t...

For me, this is a no brainer perennial purchase. The wines are tasty and age well. I just opened a 2010 Summa Old Vines last weekend and it was fantastic! And the Sonoma Coast is the best value I've ever found in California pinot noir.

Crickets here too.
Charge just hit my Amex. (But still no confirmation email.)
I received my e-mail confirmation on this offer today.

Got mine tonight too

Great thread. I bought a good amount of 15 Brunello and plan to be a buyer again for 16.

When I am not in the mood for something specific, I do something similar to what Sarah posted above. I have a small area in my cellar that I call "death row" - I look there first when I want to open something. What do I put there? Sometimes I buy something to taste before ordering in quant...

Rakuten usually pays promptly; RMN takes a bit longer and sometimes had required waiting until the 45 day period elapses and then following up. You can log in to your Rakuten account online and see all the "shopping trips" - I recently had a purchase on a non-wine site where I never got th...

Rakuten has 10% cash back today on wine.com.

Worked for me online. Thank you!

I'm ashamed to admit it but I bit too.

Kevin B wrote: ↑December 17th, 2020, 12:50 pm I pulled the trigger on this one. By February my wife might have forgotten about all the wine I got in December. Also, I think I have only one or two bottles of Merlot. At least that's my excuse.

Hi Kevin - please check your PMs.

Uncorked a 2014 Papera today. Decanted for 2 hrs and I've been sipping it for about 8 hrs. Beautiful nose of sweet black fruit and some cherries. once past the lips, long lasting and perfectly balanced. Bright fruit, acidity, and tannin all in sync. Really started to purr after hour #6. Spice, tart...

RMN Question. I made 3 purchases off wine.com (2 on Sunday and 1 on Monday) and only one of the 3 has shown up as pending in Retail Me Not. How do I fix the other purchases and make them show up? Suggestions from the experts here would be appreciated. Sean You need to wait 45 days then go to Contac...

Not sure if this had been posted upthread, but if you go to https://top100.winespectator.com there's an ad for 20% off WineAccess. Thanks for the heads up. I was able to use it, so it's apparently not for first orders only. I'm not sure what it's capped at, but I used it on a $400+ order and it app...

I've sent gifts from Momofuku Milk Bar - always appreciated and quite delicious.

Tim- The Alessandria classic is beautiful and I would definitely invest in some of their Cru's. The Scavino Monvigliero and the F. Alessandria version not quite up to Burlotto but great wines. I think Jim the OP has had them both. I've had the Scavino. Chira Boschi Cannubi would be worth hunting do...

Well not compared to west Broward.

2010 Pagani. Wow! This was a truly outstanding example of great Zinfandel that has had time to develop. Seamless structure, superb balance, a wonderful bouquet and ripe berries on the palate. Usually I am concerned about the ABV on these (15.1) but it is wonderfully integrated in this bottle. I did...

Circling back to this thread. I finally had a chance to try the (2014) G2 and it was absolutely KILLER. Would not hesitate to open one of these.

I wonder what is the criteria for wine selection at different stores... I normally shop at Boca Raton (South Florida). It has a small box with a plastic cover with top wines (nothing impressive). I have never seen Bedrock; rarely find the Kirkland Stag Leaps, etc. Today I checked the Naples, FL sto...

Many folks experience with Boston Rounds lately show that the oxygen from the pour doesn't matter much. I also thought it wouldn't work, but I'm a believer n ow. 2001 Hudellot Noellat Vosne Romanee Suchots was very fresh for several weeks. 1990 Gruaud Larose was great several days later (didn't hav...

I haven’t seen Jon offer stuff from LdH, LRA or Muga, which would have been the other classics given the 20+ year drinking window. We’ll see! Back in June this year, they offered a "Rioja Mystery Reserva" at just below $20/bottle. That was the 2015 Muga Reserva. Plenty o'value on that one...

So I opened all my wine.com boxes that arrived today, and wouldn't you know it, one box that was supposed to be 4 bottles of 2010 La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Seleccion Especial came with a packing slip with my name and those bottles, but instead, had 2 bottles of 2017 Occidental pinot noir, a Bollin...

I wouldn’t pour into another container as that will oxygenate it further but probably won’t make a difference if you open the next day. I shoot some argon gas in before recorking it and putting in the cellar just in case I don’t get to it for a few days. This seems to keep it fresh for 2-3 days. Ma...

I had set the delivery date for today for all my wine.com orders from over the summer and fall. The warehouse is about an hour away and I always get next day ground delivery, but I did not want my wine sitting on a fed ex truck in the Florida heat. I can't believe they didn't consolidate my orders ....

Sure enough, Ps50fb works, 50/150

Enjoy!

You rock!

I've had pretty good experience using the Repour stoppers for this purpose (over 2-3 nights).

Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying this thread. Have been shifting my wine buying toward Italy for a few years and am excited about this vintage.

Is the 20% sale still in effect?

I did get 20% on an order placed earlier today. I wasn't sure it applied to "limited time" offers.

Wine.com out of Florida is lightening fast with processing orders and shipments. I made three purchases over the weekend, two yesterday on Sunday. Got all three this afternoon by 4 PM. Wow. I believe the warehouse is near Miami. I have a bunch of orders from last summer that are finally being deliv...

Thank you for sharing, Alex! I spent a wonderful weekend in Rioja 2 years ago and visited many of the same wineries. I posted here too viewtopic.php?f=1&t=155012&hilit=rioja+ ... i#p2594539

Please post when you get them! I was tempted by the rioja but have sworn off mystery wines (for now).

Cracked an N.50 last night in the name of science. Walla Walla cabernet. Opened in the a.m. after taking delivery and let it sit for the day. This is a serious wine. Dark in the glass with lots of black fruits. Great structure. Obviously way too early to drink but glad have 11 more of these to enjo...

Robert.A.Jr. wrote: ↑November 27th, 2020, 8:07 pm Cool, thanks.

Saw some Beaucastel and Clos rougeard

The Beaucastel came to $65 per.

Also, if you have an Amex, check out their offers. Usually something for wine.com (eg, $50 off $150 or $10 off $50) that you can stack on top of the coupons and RMN cashback (which us 20% now).

Thanks. The way these sites work, it just looks like it'd be a minor miracle ever to see the cash back, so I'm trying them out on things I'd buy without it and if it the discount hits that's just a bonus. I have had a lot of success with pretty quickly getting cash back from RMN on wine.com. I had ...
