So what have you bought lately?

[Tom In DC]

As he brought a wine from that producer in BWE London 23, and it was one of the top dry bianco from Italy i have ever taste, i bought that in honor of TominDC.

You'll be happy, Nic. Ask Blanquito and the Comte F about another bottle shared in Denver. This is a great producer.

[Blanquito]

Two bottles of the 1998 Domaine de Chevalier (rouge) at auction. I really enjoyed the 2000 DDC recently and these 98s were quite fairly priced, so it seemed compulsory.

[Musigny 151]

Found Rauzan Segla 2020 in London at a bargain $74. Also Haut Brion 2020 for $450. I know the 2022 prices are not sticking and will likely come down, but I still backfilling with ‘16 if you can find them, ‘19 and ‘20 makes sense.

[Musigny 151]

Mixed case of Oregon Pinot from Marcus Goodfellow. A few bottles of the great Heritage 4 were included.

[stefan]

Which vintage of Heritage 4, Mark? By coincidence, I am drinking a 2015 Heritage 4 right now with mushrooms and hangar steak. This is an excellent and very pure PN. Sure, it will not hit its peak for probably ten years, but it provides a lot of pleasure now.

[Chateau Vin]

Love Volnay champans. My favorite Volnay cru. Have few of those from angerville before their prices took off...

So took a flyer and got one each of the following...

-2018 Joseph Voillot Volnay Champans
-2015 Jean-Marie Bouzereau Volnay Champans

Does anyone have any experience with these producers?

I also got 2020 Lynch Moussas for 35 bucks at a local trader joes. Will try ITNOS...

2015 I believe. The invoice does not specify, but I did request it from Marcus. Agree it is such a great wine.

[Blanquito]

2007 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose x 2
2010 Roc de Cambes x 4

[Winona Chief]

Blanquito,

Great idea, that 2007 Taittinger Comtes Rose is a very nice Champagne - best to get 2 (or more).

Chris Bublitz

[Nicklasss]

Some 2021 Leon Beter Riesling Reserve.

For the last few warm summer days left here.

[Blanquito]

Blanquito,

Great idea, that 2007 Taittinger Comtes Rose is a very nice Champagne - best to get 2 (or more).

Chris Bublitz

Your Ruinart Rose (which I looked for too but it is nearly 2x the Taittinger) definitely inspired me!

[Winona Chief]

I don’t think you will be disappointed by that 2007 Taittinger Comtes Rose. It’s wonderful - a bit more intense Pinot Noir flavor and different from the more elegant 2007 Dom Ruinart Rose. For me, I love them both and think I have 2 or 3 bottles left of each.

The Taittinger 2007 rose is my go to wine with Spanish Tapas, and non spicy Chinese food. Incredibly versatile and totally delicious.

[Musigny 151]

[stefan]

No Bordeaux? You need to go back there and buy some.

[Nicklasss]

Sometimes, shit happens! To ease my pain, i really liked the 1996 last May, so i guess the 2016 can just be as great or greater in 15-20 years.

[JimHow]

Very well done indeed Nicola.

I have 18 of those in my cellar, based on Musigny-151’s reports. I am mad. I am a madman.

[Nicklasss]

No Jim. You are a BWEer. I found that lonely bottle in a BC Liquors Store. I would never thought that, and was on sale like -40 %. But prices are high here so wasn't that cheap... but i wanted to buy a few bottles in Québec, but was too long and they all disappeared...

I like sooo much 2016, and with Musigny 151 comments and enthusiast on that lamb (or if you prefer, that young Mouton), i couldn't resist. And i don't need to drink it with you Jim, as you have 18 of these...

[DavidG]

Pretty humble offering compared to 2016 Mouton, but...
10 x 2020 Ridge Geyserville @ $41 from wine.com with coupons.

[JimHow]

The 2020 Geyserville, as usual, is a beauty. I’ve got 16 bottles in my cellar.

[Musigny 151]

I think you are in a similar boat to me, Jim. You know what you like and are buying larger quantities of it. I have found that there are fewer wines that impress me; much of it is due to climate change and for me, unappealingly high levels of alcohol. So I end up buying wines I know, particularly older wines such as Magdelaine etc.

[Blanquito]

2014 Pichon Lalande x 6

I’ve been trying to win some of this for years but I always get wildly outbid. So, I paid more than I hoped but I can live with what it cost.

[barsacpinci]

You guys are making some nice purchases.
Well done to you all. Very well done indeed.

[Blanquito]

I was very slow to the 2014 Bordeaux game, but thanks to BWE's continued enablement (and that brilliant bottle of the 14 Calon Segur Jim opened in BWE 2018 - San Francisco), I keep building my holdings:
-Gloria (St. Julien) 2014 x 1
-Haut Bailly (Pessac) 2014 x 3
-Leoville Barton (St. Julien) 2014 x 6
-Montrose (St. Estephe) 2014 x 4
-Sociando Mallet Cuvée Jean Gautreau (Haut-Médoc) 2014 x 3 magnums
-Vieux Chateau Certan (Pomerol) 2014 x 7

And now 6 bottles of the 2014 Pichon Lalande for $115/each all-in. A good day at the office.

I think i will leave the board for a few days-weeks, the enablement will contaminate me if i still reading that thread.
