I’m sure E. Guigal top end stuff is good but I’m not interested in giving my money to winemakers who only seem to be concerned with making money. Same goes with Jadot etc. The only thing that turns me off from wine more than negociant is when it’s a Veblen good. E. Guigal is both.

Welp…despite all that…$120 is a silly good price! Where the hell did you score that from??
I bought one recently (sons birth year)…and let’s just say I, unfortunately, paid quite a bite more than $120!][/quote]
Yes what a deal! Would love to get some at that price which is not much more than the Ampuis.
I thought the Scott Paul La Paulee for < $14 was a great deal so I bought a case. It usually sells for double that. After have a bottle though it is a good wine but not nearly as it has been in the past when Kelley Fox was making the wines. Probably not the deal of the year that I was thinking.
Found it at a store in Canada. I saw one, took it to the till and confirmed the price, then grabbed the other two remaining bottles. Walking to the car, I remember feeling like I almost committed a crime lol.
Man, I love those scenarios where the price seems too good to be true, but the store confirms its correct…and then you walk out trying to keep that silly grin off your face while hoping that you dont get tackled by security of something
