Didn't work for me on a .99 wine- are they excluded?

Alan, I think the .97 wines are excluded. The .99 wines should work, but maybe there are exceptions. I used the code on some .99 wines just before my post.

YT50 still works for $50 off $150.

Wow. What could happen to a wine to make it look like that?

They also stopped shipping to Missouri a few years ago, which meant I had to drop out of their Champagne Club.

According to their web site, they now only ship to Alaska, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, and Wyoming.

This is absolutely awful. RIP, Frank.

Count me as a fan as well.

My eight glasses arrived last week. While each individual two-pack had very good packaging, the box holding the four two-packs had substantial damage when it arrived. Although seven survived the journey, there was one casualty. I e-mailed David with a couple of pictures. He wrote me back so fast I t...

One that says "Liquid Farm" on it.

I have an Ah-So and a Durand, but don't usually think of them until it's too late.

While there was no escaping it certainly some areas got denser and longer stayed smoke than other places. I certainly cannot speak for any swath of folks but the Dundee Hills sites were particularly impacted IMO. There’s no winery not dealing with some aspect of it,‘I am quite certain of that. Is t...

I’m from Clearwater, and am often back to visit family in the area (though not since COVID). I went into B-21 several years ago, as I had many times, and bought a few bottles of the same wine. After I left the store, I realized I had been overcharged. I called the store, they acknowledged the mista...

$1K premium for $400K? Damn, my $550 premium for $75K in coverage isn’t looking too good in comparison... My premium is .7% thru AIG. It is a stand alone policy and took more than a few phone calls to obtain. My home insurer doesnt offer coverage and other companies would only offer wine insurance ...

A 1995 Hendry Zinfandel Block 7 marked the beginning of my wine odyssey somewhere around 21-22 years ago.

#10,000 here. I still use classic mode.

Yes, I don't disagree. I guess it may depend on how many of those coupons continue to become available.

$27.49 on wine.com if you buy eight (with 100/300).

Hi Marisa - I am not having luck with the discount code...

Hey! The 14 is a bit more structured than some of my wines, but I don't think it would be any more so in a mag. I think mags last longer because the volume to oxygen ingress over time, is less. As super small amounts of air get into a 750ml, it has a larger effect than the same cork size allowing i...

I'm struggling with this. I am a fan of Rhys, especially their chardonnay, but it's tough to dive into $79 California sparkling wine, without even so much as a Frank Murray tasting note out somewhere on the internets. This will probably follow the well-worn decision path of "can't decide, can'...

The Dean & Deluca near us closed last year. It had been there since 1997.

Next time put up the bat signal.

I've had very good luck with Joe Gilmour at Blast Vintners. I e-mail him a couple of weeks before my trip, and he has the wine delivered to my hotel (small delivery fee).

With all that said, the futures allocation is by far the largest allocation with each year's production. Per Allison Mayo, Direct-to-Consumer & Wine Club Sales, "Our Monte Bello production is typically 5,000 cases a year and we allocate 1/3 of production to our Monte Bello Collector member...

I just joined this year and haven't been offered the Monte Bello yet. Perhaps because I'm brand new and yields appear to be down in 2018, they will wait until May to let me know. Any risk of not getting an allocation at all? I joined Jan 2017 and I'm in the camp that needs to wait til May to hear. ...

Exactly!

This is common when sparkling wineis lose gas pressure. It may be dead. Laws of physics/pressure ? Yes. The normal pressure in a Champagne bottle is 5 - 6 atmospheres (70 - 90 psi). The corks are designed to resist that pressure, the loss of which makes removing them by hand near impossible unless ...

The kids are on spring break starting this week, so it seemed like a good night to grill some homemade burgers (even though it’s still only 40 degrees). Nonetheless, this D&R went great with the burgers, and right now, it drinking great on it’s own. 2013 Dirty and Rowdy Mourvedre Shake Ridge Ran...

I bought some of their 2011 Pinot Noir "Mutchmore" on BD5, and very much enjoyed it.

Coldest day here in 20 years. And the LB offer today is? Rose'. Hurry up summer!

Buyer since the 2005 vintage, and agree with many of the prior comments. The price increases are annoying. I only got one each of the appelation wines this time around, which is my smallest purchase on release since I have been offered an allocation.

I suspect low coolant is the culprit. This has happened to me as well.

No more Missouri. I'd been in the Champagne club for years.

This will vary based on the value of the insured cellar. For a stand-alone policy, insurers will have a minimum premium, which is usually a couple hundred dollars.

I continue to enjoy the Windy Oaks club for ten years now.

I believe the 2014 was a blend from Trout Gulch and Zayante in Santa Cruz Mountains, where the ’15 and ’16 are Sonoma Coast fruit.

2016 Bedrock Wine Co. Chardonnay Chuy - USA, California, Sonoma County, Moon Mountain (3/27/2018) Bright yellow color, with aromas of lemon, peach, and lees. On the palate, Meyer lemon, honeydew, and vanilla flavors show, with a mineral note that adds cut to the finish. Very nice, especially for da...

WesMar Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2015 up now for $28.99 with shipping on two. I consider this one of the best WTSO deals in a long time.

I have had only 1 order for my multi-vintage Little Black . They are 3 for $150. All EMH fruit - a blend of 2011 and 2012. This bottle also has a unique design...it is a smaller, comical cat with a necktie instead of a necklace. Done in bronze instead of silver or gold. These cats need good homes! ...

If you are still there, try Veltlinerkeller. It's in the same area as Pavillon.

Gabriel Gold here too. But if those aren't clean, the Riedel Sommeliers Sauternes/Dessert glasses are my second choice.

I’ve made that mistake. More than once.

Easy buy.
