So what have you bought lately?
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Nice haul Ian. I guess Brexit and the falling pound not concerning you.
Just picked up the last of my 2015 future that I had no idea that I had purchased and paid for but happy to bring in 6 Cantemerle, 6 d'Aghuile and 6 La Veille Cure which will add to the intermediate term drinkers.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Swung by the Total Wine in Norwalk CT while heading over to my aunt and uncles in Wilton CT for Xmas eve and found an unopened OWC of the 2014 Pichon Lalande sitting up in the rafters for $103.48 on mix and match which I think is going to be the cheapest price I will find so I scooped that up along with 6 btls of 2015 Felsina Rancia CCR @ $40.99/per.

Did you snag the whole case of 14 PLL JC?

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Nice effort JC, you really do have your life priorities sorted. For that you should be commended to the Benevolent Dictator for an Outstanding Bravery and Lifetime Achievement Award. With Pichon Lalande you can’t really go wrong. Merry Christmas to you and Ceil too.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
JC, well done. I still think you’d profit from attending a Convention, but I cannot argue with laying down a few extra bottles for the impending zombie apocalypse.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
And I hereby accept said award afterall, justifying another case purchase of a fine Bdx is really quite easy as I look at it as investing in my future.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
After all the chatter regarding TW, I swung by the Norwalk CT store yesterday and picked up an OWC 6pack of the 2015 Giscours @ $62.98/per on mix6, along with the 10 remaining btls of 2014 Clerc Milon @ $53.98/per on mix6 (btw, the website showed this item as out of stock), 2 btls of 2014 Les Carmes Haut Brion @ $53.98/per on mix6 and a btl of Blantons @ $51.99 that they are no longer putting out on the shelves.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Never tried a Sociando Mallet Cuvee Jean Gautreau, that would be fun. For some reason, I passed on the 05 of this on Winebid for like $45 + premium three or four years ago.

Nice, Bill. How’s the 70 Lagune holding up these days?
Re: So what have you bought lately?
I dunno, Patrick. I hope that at least one of these is good.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Was extended an Aubert mailing list purchase from a friend who was passing on his allocation this year and picked up a mixed case (2 of each of the Powder House, Lauren, UV-SL, CIX, Eastside and Sugar Shack) and also pulled the trigger on a case purchase of the 2016 Charvin CdP @ $50/all-in per btl.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
That, sir, is a most excellent purchase. Gonon, Levet, Baudry and Sociando are my four most represented wineries in my "cellar". The 2016 Gonon Iles Feray, i.e., their base syrah, is excellent. Have not cracked open a St Joe yet. Sitting on them. I'm really liking the vintage, however.jal wrote:3 2016 Gonon St Joseph
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Thank you sir, I'll ask about the Isles Feray. My buddy Thomas just opened two weeks ago the ultimate AFWE wine store right in my hood in Sarasota (he would hate it if he knew that's what I called his place) and had a six bottles allocation. I split the loot with my friend Suzanne. We also cleaned him of his 2016 Jamet Collines Rodaniennes Syrah.OrlandoRobert wrote:That, sir, is a most excellent purchase.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I don't think I mentioned it but I ordered a case of 2016 Lanessan for $16 per. The idea is for it to go mano a mano with the 2016 Lagrange I ordered previously. I do kind of regret that what's his name--HlFdB--is consulting at Lanessan now. He obviously has a great success at Angelus (at least as far as the price he commands) and I've enjoyed his LdP but I always worry about style convergence.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Not Kona, but I'll be there Monday to check it out.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Speaking of what I DID NOT buy....I was at my local specialty butcher picking up some Kurobota pork chops and saw that they had the 2015 Mauvesin Barton offered for.....$63
That is like 5x what this Moulis goes for at K&L.
I'm assuming someone mislabeled it thinking it was Langoa Barton or something.
