There have been several lastbottlewines.com threads, so I thought it would be good to create one overall thread for discussion about the LastBottleWines deals similar to the Garagiste thread. Excellent deals so far!

Here's my referral link if you haven't signed up yet (I get a credit, so do you):

LastBottleWines.com

Well, dammit. I got the email with the contest results, got the Heitz Cab email, nothing since. Assumed no new offers yet. But now I see Pahlmeyer on offer that I knew nothing about. And the site claims it's never heard of my registered email address, so apparently I ceased to exist. Reregistering.
So what else did I miss??

DGriffin · #3 Post by **DGriffin** » May 12th, 2011, 1:11 pm

I think the only other wine offered was a 2000 Mayacamas Cabernet.

#4 Post by **M. Linzbach** » May 12th, 2011, 1:21 pm

Might I suggest this thread gets renamed to the actual site name? LastBottleWines.com as LastBottle.com is a parked domain.

BTW, could be an expensive site for me.

#5 Post by **Neal.Mollen** » May 12th, 2011, 1:30 pm

3 offers I know of. The Mayacamas, the 2004 Montrose for $40 and the current 2006 Pahlmeyer Red for $65.

I've been emailing with Corey Wagner - they're having a few glitches with the website that they're working on

Having the same experience as we speak. Sent an email and got a superfast reply from Cory Wagner that they are dealing with the glitch. Impressed both with level of communications and the offers thus far.

#8 Post by **Frank Smith** » May 12th, 2011, 1:56 pm

So far there has been:

2001 Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard $79
2000 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon $37
2004 Montrose $42
2006 Pahlmeyer Red $65

Cory Wagner · #9 Post by **Cory Wagner** » May 12th, 2011, 3:21 pm

Thanks for all the interest everyone! We are sorting through a few website issues and hope to have them all fixed today. I will start sending out emails again shortly. No one has been dropped from the list, we just didn't want to draw extra traffic today to the website since it wasn't working properly.

Lance Smith · #10 Post by **Lance Smith** » May 12th, 2011, 3:25 pm

Cory - looks like the registration process isn't functioning right now. Just an FYI

Dave Smig · #11 Post by **Dave Smig** » May 12th, 2011, 3:28 pm

i went ahead and reregistered, so far so good. didn't purchase anything yet though.

+1 although shipping costs seemed reasonable and I like the variety of shipping choices. I already have some of the Pahlmeyer in my cellar (wish I had paid this price) but I am tempted to buy more.

Nick,

I do like Tapatalk. I use it to read this forum about 95+% of the time. I find it easier to look at what posts have been made since I last visited the site.

it is a shame that you have to click through to the website in order to see the price.

#17 Post by **mike pobega** » May 12th, 2011, 6:46 pm

Man, I had 2 of the Pahlmeyers in my baskets and BAMMM! Gone. Too bad, I really love that one......

#19 Post by **mike pobega** » May 12th, 2011, 7:00 pm

Cory, Here's a recco: If there is something in the cart, it should remain for 3 minutes, aka Lot18. It takes time to check out.
Just a thought......
I hate losing stuff in my cart.

Cory Wagner · #20 Post by **Cory Wagner** » May 13th, 2011, 7:03 am

Hi Mike. We had gone back and forth with that option but we ran into a few problems since we only have one wine at a time and the website moves to the next when it sells out. Sorry you missed out on the Pahlmeyer but I think we should have something to your liking in the next few days.

#21 Post by **Jorge Henriquez** » May 13th, 2011, 7:19 am

Email notifications are working fine this morning.

#22 Post by **mike pobega** » May 13th, 2011, 10:39 am

It appears that both the squeaky wheel can occasionally get some grease and: customer service is important to Lastbottle, AKA Cory and I was able to get two bottles of the Pahlmeyer that had been un-ordered by someone else.

Thanks Cory.

375ml of 2006 Mitolo G.A.M. Shiraz on there right now for $17... just in time if anyone is making pancakes this weekend.

I thought that's what the pahlmeyer was for

#26 Post by **mike pobega** » May 13th, 2011, 11:51 am

The G.A.M. is a nice wine. The Pahlmeyer is a very nice wine.
$17 per half is a great deal.

You can put them both in the syrup cozy so that you and your guest have a choice like at IHOP.

Kidding aside, is everyone getting the emails yet? I have yet to receive one since signing up while the Mayacamas deal was up. Not pestering. Just wondering if that is still an issue or if I should try signing up again.

#28 Post by **Neal.Mollen** » May 13th, 2011, 3:42 pm

Got one email. It is taking a loooooooong time to work through those GAMs

Cory Wagner · #29 Post by **Cory Wagner** » May 13th, 2011, 4:57 pm

Chris- We sent and email to you this morning. It may have gone into the spam folder or something because it is shown as being not opened.
Neal- Finally a break for me. Maybe it's just that we have a ton of it.

Nothing in the SPAM folder but Yahoo was on the fritz for about 20 minutes this morning.

Randy Sloan · #31 Post by **Randy Sloan** » May 15th, 2011, 2:25 pm

They seem to be reading my mind on what I want to buy and when, and how much I'm willing to pay... 2008 Evening Land Chard Summum at $59.

Have you had this wine before Randy? Seemed a little spendy to me compared to what I could get elsewhere but def a big price cut. I am on the edge on this.

No, Gene, but I've been wanting to try the Evening Land so it seemed like a pretty good time to jump in.

#34 Post by **Doug Milch** » May 16th, 2011, 10:02 am

FYI They just put up a 2008 Alesia -rhys sonoma Coast at $39. Cant recall the original pricing from the winery so dont know if represents "value pricing." I believe it was around $35 plus tax on last offering but someone correct me if im mistaken.

In any event at least an interesting offering....

May 16th, 2011, 10:13 am

I bought the 2007 for $35, and shipping was included.

#36 Post by **C 0 R E Y M.** » May 16th, 2011, 10:27 am

The 08 was also $35, with shipping included, minimum purchase of 4 bottles. It was $28 if you bought a case.

Jim V a n P e l t · May 16th, 2011, 10:29 am

Multiple bottles currently available on Winebid @ $25/btl.

#38 Post by **mike pobega** » May 19th, 2011, 9:05 am

Today:
2001 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
$70

decent deal

It's at the original winery release price. I would say it's a damn good deal on a great wine.

Anyone experience TCA problems with this wine like Wine Spectator?

Seo S a l i m i · #41 Post by **Seo S a l i m i** » May 19th, 2011, 9:28 am

I got in on the Brunello. Seemed like an ez buy. Been impressed with the offerings and Cory's customer service as he works through some of the tech issues. The Montelena was tempting, but trying to cull $50+ purchases

mdaniel · #42 Post by **mdaniel** » May 19th, 2011, 9:32 am

Montelena gone!

Now, Delectus 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville for $30.

Seo S a l i m i · #43 Post by **Seo S a l i m i** » May 19th, 2011, 9:34 am

Yeah, I was debating how mny bottles to get when I refreshed the page to Delectus. Only lasted about 30 minutes.

I have had a couple of bottles, although not the 2003. Any other vintage and I would jump on this, but very few 2003s have really wowed me.

#47 Post by **gene keenan** » May 19th, 2011, 12:28 pm

I love Delectus but have not had the 03. It's a good price though.

Challenge for me is I don't want to pay shipping so I am only buying things i want 6 or more of. If I could aggregate my purchases to get the free shipping or do will call I'd be buying more of these wines. The fact that I can't is probably a good thing.

#48 Post by **Gil Bauer** » May 19th, 2011, 12:48 pm

I got some of the Montelena -- which, I think, means that Jorge gets $20 credit...

#49 Post by **N. Justl** » May 19th, 2011, 12:57 pm

Wish I would have pulled the trigger on the Montelena when I had the chance.

I too wish you could bundle a few offers together to get free shipping; however, shipping charges seem to be reasonable at least.

Nick_Ortiz · #50 Post by **Nick_Ortiz** » May 20th, 2011, 5:56 pm

Any thoughts on the Domaine de la Janasse 2006 VDP Terre de Bussiere? I'm a huge fan of Janasse, but never had this line.
