I’m $500 short of the Grand Reserve spend requirement for the year…I’m a sucker for my yearly bottle of Pappy, so do you have any suggestions as to how I should burn the last 5 bills?
Bordeaux, almost all of which is “Winery Direct” so you get 15 points instead of 10 points per dollar spent, at least on their program rules in GA. While the quality of Winery Direct producers can be suspect in most regions, Bordeaux is an exception. And their Bordeaux pricing is fairly competitive (though I’m kicking myself for not buying enough for top status when they had a recent 10% off Winery Direct deal).
My guess is that it is to maintain grand reserve status for next years allocation. And the best way to burn $500 is by buying me a belated Xmas gift and yes I like Bdx too and think that the funds are best spent there generally speaking, granted inventories and pricing do vary state to state, but I digress.
Correct assumption. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Gift cards are eligible, apparently, but I’d rather buy juice. Seems like Bdx is a solid call. Going to poke around tomorrow and see if any '15s have appeared.
I bought two a while ago, then I read the most recent tasting note by Motz on CT and bought two more.
I opened one of those over the Christmas weekend.
Call me a believer. This week I went back for two more.
I’m not planning to open another one for at least 2 more years.
