Ha ha! I hear ya buddy! Doesnt take much to twist any of our arms :wink:

Im excited for you to try one though! If you do open one soon, definitely give it a ton of air :cheers:

2019 ‘Lines’ (Freeman) Mes Filles Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay for $29 bucks seemed like an excellent deal, in for four.

I started a locker a few weeks ago partly based on this thread. I told myself i would need to be a little aggressive to make sure I get up to 12 bottles within a few months when it cools down.

Needless to say, I already filled up a locker :laughing:

Thanks for the heads up! Just grabbed a few.

That’s a crazy good deal - still up on his website at $95 . . .

Cheers

Mystery red up today, anyone have an inkling as to what it is?

Based on my 60 seconds of research, I’d say Arrietta Quartet. Will continue doing more, but it looks like a fit. Note however that this is the smoke drenched 2020 vintage.

WS offered a mystery wine last year that ended up being Arrietta H Block, and they mentioned Andy Erickson as the winemaker.

FYI - the vineyard source for todays (10/18) Three Revelers offering I believe to be Stagecoach (which is typically considered Atlas Peak):

Im not too knowledgeable on famed vineyards and sub-AVAs. Am i right that stagecoach is generally considered quite premium? Should i be more inclined to buy?

It is a well regarded vineyard - it’s also huge so there can be quite a bit of variation within Stagecoach. It’s not a factor that would sway me to buy in and of itself, without other factors like Producer, winemaker, vintage, and price point coming in to play

I would be buying this wine if I didn’t already own a few bottles of Three Revelers Stagecoach Cab. It has gotten great reviews on Vivino and CT and Intend to really like Cab from Stagecoach.

The Wine Spies email says the wine offered today is C1 from Pritchard Hill, not Stagecoach…and the label on the bottle only says “Napa Valley”. If you go on CellarTracker there is a separate wine from Three Revelers that has “Stagecoach” on the label. And if you go to the Three Revelers Website, the Napa bottling isn’t even listed as one of the wines they make…very confusing

The Wine Spies write up and email does not say “not Stagecoach.” See my picture above from the Wine Slash website who is currently selling the “Stagecoach Vineyard” version of this wine. It’s all there.

Anyone know a first time order code for Winespies? I had one a while back, $50/150, but never used it and now can’t find. TIA.

I’m thinking today’s mystery 2021 Cab is either Beau Vigne or Purlieu. See how they say “and today…” Any other more solid guesses? Not a lot of clues…

I think Beau Vigne is correct.
