Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

Dear BWE

I’m going to Boston the next weekend. I Will go thru highway 93.

What the best wine store?

Jim, I know you had good deal on New Hampshire liquor&Wine Outlet. Wich store is the best for choice on my way?

Any good deal to know?

JeanFred

Hey Jean Fred, so, you ARE running Boston, congratulations!
I don't get to I-93 very often, I think the Hookset store might be a good option.
Unfortunately they don't have any French wine sales going on this month.
2019 Beaucastel seems like a good deal, they have it in both 750s and 375s.
I've had it, it is excellent.
Piper Heidsieck seems to be in stock for $53, if it is the 2012 vintage that would seem to be a good deal.
2016 Larose Trintaudon is a good deal.

The Hooksett I93 south store is store #67. Right now they have a white wine sale going on which might be of interest, particularly for Champagne. #67 has Krug NV for $150 that would net to $127.

I was just in Nashua and the $53 Piper Heidsieck is the NV.

Ah ok thanks Gerry, I was gonna be looking for the 2012, which seems to be priced in the mid 50s.

Thanks Jim and Gerry for the advice

I saw interesting stuff on the net. Now, I have to find the best store with the more product I want to avoid to many stop for wine store… I will continue my research

JeanFred

Jean Fred - Total Wine (there are a number of them scattered around Boston suburbs) might be an interesting visit as well. Generally decent pricing and a broad selection at a number of price points. Also the selection at Gordons is pretty good - I generally shop at the one on Main St, Waltham.

If you're trying to deviate the least off of rt 93 then in Mass I would check either Rapid Liquors off rt28 in Stoneham or Total Wine in Everett.

Gerry, you say there is a white wine sale, is that just at the Hooksett store or in NH in general?
If so, do you have any white wine recommendations?

Ah, I just checked, there is indeed a white wine sale. Any recommendations?

Other than Champagne, not much. White Burg's are seriously lacking, at least in Nashua. Reisling is usually a go-to, especially with the summer months coming. Im also interested in some 2014 Stoney Hill Chard that would be below $50 on the sale. I used to grab Peter Michael chards there but NH hasn't had them in quite awhile.

If I buy 12 bottles and like only two are whites, do I get the 15% off on the whites?

Good question. I don't think so but I could be wrong.

I was in the Nashua Willow Spring Plaza store this afternoon....

Lol, that's my store. I live just 15 minutes from there.

I bougth 1 Palmer 2016 and 1 Château Margaux 2016 at LondonBerry NH liqors store today. I decided to stop there because i saw on internet they had the Palmer but i discover a Margaux…
I will probably stop at the Hookset on my return. Each store look to have interesting last chance items.
If i found no great deal in Bordeaux, there always Champagne…
