Absolute steal

All of the suitcase products are on sale today for $115. Great deal for others like me who have still be holding out.

Yeah killer deal on the splits...would be very interested in knowing where if there are any left.

I thank/blame William Kelley
Billy is late to the game! Halcon been killing it since their original release, which was all of $20!

Been the star of BSD for me for awhile...especially the magnum deals (listen up everyone)

Well then

No trades obviously...?

G-Max?

Are you telling me the MAILING LIST price for the 2018 is going to be $2500 per bottle???? No this was from a store in NYC Still not getting it? Michael said his offer was $100 over 'list' price, then said offer was $2600? Is his 'list' price NOT meaning mailing list price? Have to have him explain...

do you mean 2600 for the 3 pack?
or you rec'd a commercial offer from someone other than the winery?
those prices are what trading co's are sending around.

Per bottle commercial offer, just a data point

Got an email offer today at 2600 a bottle...

Thanks for the tasting note Adam. I would love to try a side by side tasting with Ridge, Bedrock, and Desire Lines Evangelho Funny you should mention that. I have now built a tasting flight that includes all of those plus Dirty & Rowdy Evangelho Mourvedre. Should be fun - whenever I can get my ...

Funny you should mention that. I have now built a tasting flight that includes all of those plus Dirty & Rowdy Evangelho Mourvedre. Should be fun - whenever I can get my tasting group back together. That does sound like a fun tasting for sure - of course, each of these will be different not onl...

Wait...

One bottle available for trade. Looking for champagne or red burg primarily but open to any offers. Also willing to negotiate cash if preferred.

2015 Under the Mountain...such a different heritage. Darker fruited than expected. Nice with a long decant.

Kinsman is already on a waitlist I believe I’d get on it ASAP ... One of the 16’s just got 100 from Galloni (along with being a top 10 or 20 or something wine of the year for 2020), and that list isn’t going to get any shorter. I got on the list shortly after tasting a Sleeping Lady ‘16 I got in a ...

Think you are right. I don't see this El Dorado on the picture I took of my 17s. Guess this one will be in high demand. Hopefully mailing list gets first crack... Amen to that. I did see Mike comment that it would cost more than the regular HM release. I was planning on buying large for their 18' v...

100 points from AG for Dunn 2017 HM. Nice work! Is it normal HM? My bottles are at offsite, but saw the new “El Dorado” stamp... Think you are right. I don't see this El Dorado on the picture I took of my 17s. Guess this one will be in high demand. Hopefully mailing list gets first crack...

Hi Tom, Didn't Gallo cut off outside sales of MonteRosso fruit? I thought the opposite, that Vineyard Manager Brenae Royal was pushing to get Monte Rosso fruit into more producers' hands. As Brian said, both are true. On another note, a 2012 I had a few months ago was absolutely gorgeous, but still...

I’am not finish buying 2016 Barolo,and With brunello 2016 and Produttori 2016 riserva comming up, i wont last long [cheers.gif] Are the 2016 produttori riservas yet to come out? All i'm seeing is the assortment case I’ve seen a few offers, Morrell in NYC comes to mind, but at the high pricing discu...

WineBid has a bunch of Bedrock back vintage wines currently. shhhhhhhh [snort.gif] I want some too but my wallet will feel better if I don't win all the bids I plan to place :D Glad I didn’t win the 09/10...went to arrange shipping today and realized I already bought some a few months ago [snort.gif]

Dan, are you suggesting that even in this heavily trafficked region by the critics that there are truly great undiscovered wines in the Wild? In one sense I find that quite exciting, but also hard to believe that the effort would be a worthwhile pursuit? Interesting growers still pop up. Generation...

Gotta say, first time going through the self service shipment scheduling option on the full website (not mobile) today, and I really like how it works. Definitely a step up from past shipment scheduling.

Awesome story! Been the recipient of lots of kindness as well from board members, that’s how you build a community!

Am I allowed to say Wilde Farm Bedrock? 2015. Love this wine and after being open for five hours I think it’s as good a bottle as I’ve had. Pretty sure it would be unplaceable to me blind. A little bit California fruit, a little bit Loire cab franc, maybe some stemmy beaujolais? I think it’s comple...

Seconded

A rare moment of restraint

Buzz is already out. I’m holding steady so far though tempted twice. Confess in this thread when your holdout breaks and you succumb to your first 2021 purchase. First purchase January 2nd. A wine searcher alert showed up- I tend to purchase these alerts if the pricing is reasonable. 2000 Robert Ch...

Mind sharing where?

ISO a magnum or two of 91 CA cab for a sibling's 30th. Open to other wines/regions if in good condition as well. Happy to trade or send cash. Thanks!

Believe it was the 2018 fire

Yeah I was out quickly in the 1st...nothing today yet though!

Deal!

2009 Magdelaine

I’d put Laherte Freres in the hierarchy somewhere as well, tons of great cuvees coming out, and Grand Crayeres was up there with most of the best bubbly I had this year.

2012 Pierre Peters Les Chetillons BdB
2018 Dirty and Rowdy The Legends Rosewood Vineyard

Both are absolute fire

2012 Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Blanc de Blancs Les Chetillons - France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru (12/30/2020) Very pale straw yellow. Terribly young, but so enjoyable already. Like a lot of Mesnil-sur-Ofer BdB there’s a strong/vibrant lemon curd to it slightly overtakin...
