Ok, tally it up. What did you buy?

[Mikko_Tuomi]

First year newb, been a long time reader, was working last year but this year decided to register and take a look and “not buy much”.

50 bottles
5 beef jerkys

Sabelli-Frisch, Bien Nacido, Thomas Bougetz, Loring, Sandler, Sun Break, Saunter, Di Costanzo and Pezzato.

Haven’t told my wife yet. Anyone know a good divorce lawyer? Asking for a friend…

3 bottles of wine
the 4 10 pack of wine stoppers
2 glasvin glasses and the decanter

Not much disposable income atm

[Vince_T]

12x sabelli frisch
6x aerea

Thanks Rodrigo! Always psyched to finish runner up ( ) - as far as bottle numbers - with food? Think we hit many of the same producers

[Jeff_M1]

47 bottles, 9 wineries
6 steaks although I really need to review what I actually bought; 2 of the 130 day dry aged
2 glasses, a decanter and carafe and 2 microfiber cloths
1 jamon paleta.

[Bill_Mauger]

Big shout out to Todd - and I gotta believe this is a labor of love for you! First class and well done! Even compared to five years ago my lord - back then i was bidding for GF 1.5’s at below value and superseding that number to help do my part. Amazing community you have built here that has enhanced my life and many other s i am sure!

[Scott_AB]

63 bottles from 10 producers, 7 of them ones I hadn’t purchased from before today. Only about 25% over budget so feeling pretty good, even though I have no room other than stacking in the crawlspace.

You beat me with food by miles. No Flannery for me. I’d have loved to have loaded up, alas, living in a small NYC apartment makes both storing and cooking lots of beef challenging.

As far as OR producers, I hit up Goodfellow, Vincent, Schone Tal, Shiba Wichern, Franny Beck, Suzor, Violin, Trathen Hall, Sun Break Wines, and Silas

hope those Mags were GF “Fiesta” purchase!

They are now!

[Marcus_Montanile]

29 bottles, 5 packs of jerky, 6 glasses, and a decanter. My second year and it’s been super fun every time. Where I’m going to put any more wine… that’s the next problem.

[DerekB]

61 bottles from 10 different producers, only one of which I’ve ever tried before. My first berserker day!

I took a lot of advice on having a plan, but it did go out the window pretty quick. Now time to find space in the cellar!

Two offers I referenced were Trathen Hall & Vincent that i did not yet purchase. Went deep on one you didn’t Kelley Fox - and I couldn’t pass on the 2010 1.5’s from Biggio Hamina as i have his 2012 and 2017 Caroline in 750’s! I also bought Glennon (Marcus) and my gut tells me this was a good one. Took the flyer on Suzor. Wanted to try Shiba Wichern (Lewman) but had to draw the line. Franny Beck’s deals and values were amazing and Michael is awesome - hard to believe he and Will H. make wines in the same facility - but both Violin & Franny Beck are wonderful!

24 bottles of wine, 24 glasses, 3 decanters … and I did it while my wife is mid-pre term labor and we’re out of town!

We started the day in the local ER in NW FL, moved up to labor and delivery, scheduled for air transport, air transport canceled due to bad weather, ground transported via ambulance 90 mins away to a level 3 NICU facility since the NICU at the local hospital is only level 2. Wife still hanging in there like a hair on a biscuit but contractions coming in waves. Hoping to get it under control and get home. At home, we live 5 mins away from UVA hospital. If anyone brokers medical jet charters let me know … tried to save some of the BD budget for what will almost certainly be an expensive few weeks!

I can’t be the only person whose jaw dropped when they read this one! Hoping everything ends up breaking the right way with you and your family!

You guys!! I’m on the edge of my seat with this story… best of luck, safe journey for baby & mama! (Oh and you too!) Thank you for supporting the wine & cracking Jerk Store jokes while this wild ride is taking place.

Vince,

You and I think alike. Other than the fish and tercero (which I didn’t buy), and some Paetra (which I did), I think that we had the exact same orders.
