Re: So what have you bought lately?
2017 Chateau la Tour de Pez Saint-Estèphe. This is the second 2017 I buy. I really liked the 2017 Chateau Haut-Vigneau, hope the St Estèphe will be good too.
2019 Les Jardins de Loudenne blanc. A rare dry white wine made in the Médoc. Organic wine.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Some 2007 Lopez Heredia Tondonia Reserva.
A few italian dry white wines for a change.
Our consumption of dry white wines is very high, i just can't keep the bottle for a long time. We pair them mostly with fish and seafood, principaly sushis, or tartare or sea scallops.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I've decided 2016 will be my last vintage of Bordeaux that I collect and cellar. I'll buy future bottles but for immediate consumption. I'm also buying wine that may be ready sooner than 20 years.

Well done, Bill! Very well done indeed.
That is a classic BWE purchase from a classic BWEer.
Bravo.

I spent $9.99 at Trader Joe's to buy a 2018 Famile Perrin CdR Reserve. I had bought a couple of bottles in Israel in December and thought these were pretty good.

3 x 2017 Frog’s Leap Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford
Had to find a better Napa Cab for $100 and under, this one was $43 after the 50/150 code on Wine.com.
ABV under 14%. Love this classic stuff.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
While shopping around for 2016 St. Estephe wines I noticed that Total Wine & More (in Norwalk) has halves of Ch. Montrose for under $100.
I bought two.
And while I was filling a box big enough for delivery I found out they want to give me not 10%, but 15% off (not from the Montrose) if I buy a couple extra bottles.
They hardly have any Bordeaux I want at a price I'm willing to pay right now so I bought a bunch of Dr Heidemanns Rieslings.
They have De Margerie Grand Cuvee Speciale in their monthly specials so I added two of them, and they're giving me the extra discount on them too.
The Montrose purchase is just foolish, but the extra savings on the other bottles makes me feel better.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Chris, for whatever reason it seems like when the tariffs hit, TW immediately raised the prices on all Bdx 750ml sized bottles regardless of whether they were incoming or in stock but they did not apply that same hike to halves and mags.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Its been very hard to find good deals since the tariffs took effect.
Apart from a couple of those '80s bottles I acquired, the Montrose halves are the most expensive alcohol I've ever purchased. I'm smitten by St. Estéphe right now, particularly 2016.

No Montrose 375s.
This is the third store this year that let me down in the same manner.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
TW can't even figure out how to append vintages to many of their fine wine SKU's, even for items like Gran Reserva Rioja or Gran Selezione CC where its something consumers would want/care about what year it is.Racer Chris wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:05 pm Gadamit again!

Real Time Dynamic Inventory tracking is way beyond them.
K&L is the amazing in this dimension, and it works across their multiple locations.

Even when they do add a vintage, don't count on it being what's on the shelf in the store.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Patrick, what induced you to buy the outlier in that group?
Re: So what have you bought lately?
If the outlier is the Ridge Estate Chardonnay, I am fan in general so I thought I’d give a more recent vintage a whirl. I had the 2012 version recently and it was great in a somewhat richer, oaky style than I often prefer.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Aside from all the recent buzz on this wine — https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/vi ... c1bc6bb35a — a wine named Frog’s Leap seemed like a safe choice for a lover of French wine!
Re: So what have you bought lately?
All wonderful Bordeaux Ian. I popped a bottle of the 2009 Haut Bailly 2 years ago, after a Neal Martin note suggesting oxidation at the "Ten Years On" tasting. This was a killer bottle.
