Shipping season will complete the consolidation of the storage (multiple boxes arrive). Add about 1 year of purchases that I held back from delivery and I need to take a day or two off to sort the boxes.
The storage probably goes… ‘what’s going on?!?’ 7 boxes waiting plus two on the way.
Some highlights:
2014 Jean Edwards Cellars Sauvignon Blanc Dalla Gasperina Vineyard+ 2013 Jean Edwards Cab
2013 and 2014 Becklyn Cellars (Cabs and SB)
2013 Rhys Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard, Rhys Chards (both vineyards)
2011 and 2013 EMH Cabernet Sauvignon Black Cat
2013 Fisher Vineyards Chardonnay Whitney’s Vineyard
2012 M. Chapoutier (Le Méal, Blanc Le Méal,Blanc De L’Orée, Blanc l’Ermite,l’Ermite, Le Pavillon… I think I stocked too many on those)
2011 and 2012 Château Smith Haut Lafitte
2011 (and some delayed 2008) Domaine Taupenot-Merme Mazoyères-Chambertin
2007 Château Boswell Chardonnay True Course
Few old good cabs that finally made their way to east coast storage (Mondavi from the '80s, RS from the '80s, Montelena from the '70s)
of course, some bubbles arrive as well (that I won’t think be a long term problem)
2010 Piollot Champs Rayés Extra Brut
2010 Piollot Cuvée Val Colas Robin Extra Brut
2004 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Brut Rosé
1998 Gosset Celebris Extra Brut
Of course, some Pierre Paillard
Hmm I guess because I was busy with selling/buying home and moving I didn’t buy anything this summer. I have 0 coming this fall.
It’s briefly disappointing but actually surprisingly liberating as well…
(I did buy cayuse but that ain’t coming for another year and half).

Oh, also bought a few nice bdx’s from PC but not really expecting it this year.
Thank you for starting this thread!!! I freaked out this weekend when I realized I no longer have room for ANY MORE wine – and now I see that my buying problem is MINUSCULE in comparison to all of you! (I think this totals about 3 cases)
So far I’ve received (note: some of this is from a recent trip west and not from mailing lists):
Corison
Kutch
Hirsch
Bedrock
Hope & Grace
Anxiously awaiting:
Dirty & Rowdy (two separate shipments, i think)
Enfield
Rhys
Random Wine Co.
Dude, your wife not only supports you buying all this stuff, but she let’s you make wine in your damn kitchen, too. She is a SAINT! Love Mrs Counselor.
Copain came last week, Kutch arrived today, Pisoni comes tomorrow.
I get excited just reading what everyone has coming! This thread is a wine-geek’s heaven. I am a wine geek, too! Brought home 17 bottles from Copain’s nicely done open house on Sunday. Took around a case of Champagne from, yes, Premier Cru.
Have some Ceritas on order, and maybe a bottle of LaRue. Need to get over to Red Car - their Ritchie Chardonnay is worth a drive.
And now for the commercial pitch: Don’t scale back on EMH for next year! I have a new and very special bottling in the works.

I can’t even remember without looking at Cellartracker…
I got email from Fatcork and Shafer today, so those are definitely coming. Should probably also be Cayuse, Rivers Marie, Betz. Probably a couple I forgot, but I’ve been trying to keep it reasonable this year…
Ooooooh… now my interest is piqued. I’d like to say, “do tell” but I don’t think you will, so I’ll say instead; can’t wait to find out what this will be.
Wine Bid came this week. What’s the deelio with a lot of the bottles wrapped in tissue paper? Never seen that before. Not all of them, just one entire box and then a part of another.
