So what have you bought lately?

[JimHow]

Lol... Done, but now I need a generator, we had a big storm the last couple days.
The good news though is best viewing of the eclipse is going to be in the Great state of Maine.

[jckba]

Did you feel the earthquake all the way up in Maine?

I was working from home and on a conference call and several of us on the call were all like, was that … until it was perfectly clear that it was the ground that was shaking.

[JimHow]

Scary. No we didn’t feel anything up here as far as I’m aware. I guess some people felt it in Portland. I did hear something and thought it might be snow falling from the roof.

5 x 1989 Chateau Lynch Bages.

You talked me into it, Nicola.
I am mad. I am a madman.

I wish i could do that.

I thought you could need some help, but now i’m fully conviced that no.

Lucie agreed that we can substitute Champagne

Was there ever any doubt?

[marcs]

A case of 2006 Conseillante for $110/bottle.

Perhaps an excessive number of bottles given my pace of drinking - this is a good but not great year for Conseillante that has probably a solid decade left on it, maybe more

[JimHow]

12 x 2020 La Lagune

[Nicklasss]

A few varied dry whites like
2021 Gueguen Chablis
2022 Séguinot-Bordet Chablis
2021 Domaine Huard Pure (chardo + sauv blanc)
2022 Volpaia Vermentino
2022 Catena chenin + semillon(quite good actually)

And influenced by Comte Flaneur recent North Rhône dinner, and his thrilling Cornas flight…

3 x 2021 Johann Michel Cornas. First bottle was sublime!

[stefan]

6 1970 Nameless Wine (375)
3 1962 Nameless Wine
2 1961 Nameless Wine

Three wines we liked in the 1970s. The 1962 was the wine that got us started on drinking fine Bordeaux. I know I am throwing away money on swill, but Lucie insisted, for old times sake.

[JimHow]

Well done. Very well done indeed!

[PghMike]

6x OWC of 2023 Pontet. Probably won't buy many this year but couldn't resist.

[Ianjaig]

1x La Lagune 2010
2x Pontet Canet 2012

All 3 bought at Auction.

[Ianjaig]

6x OWC of 2023 Pontet. Probably won't buy many this year but couldn't resist.

Nice purchases by the way. I see the 23 PC is getting very high praise from the critics this year. At 27%(?) lower price than the 22, I may have to pull the trigger on some myself.

[JimHow]

I see 2023 Mouton is coming out at like $440?

[Ianjaig]

Yep, Mouton is 34% down from 2022 apparently. LLC even more at 47% I understand (though that is perhaps more of a reflection of LLC's obscene 2022 price). Will be interesting to see if these discounts are enough to entice buyers back to EP or not as a recalibration is long overdue IMO...

[JimHow]

12 x 2019 Cantemerle
12 x 2020 Cantemerle

The 2020 is down to $28 at Saratoga.

[Nicklasss]

Mostly inexpensive dry white wines, red and bubbly.
