2005 La Vieille Cure – good price alert

Post by Ramon_NYC »

I bought this wine, and liked it, after it was written about in the old BWE site. So, I thought I’ll pass this along.

I’m not affiliated in any way and I’m just a satisfied customer, but Wine Connection in Pound Ridge NY has the 2005 La Vieille Cure Fronsac on sale for about $21. I liked this wine enough to snag a case with free shipping within NYC for June delivery. Don't know how much more they have, though.

That's a very good price!
Vieille Cure is a regular overachiever.
Could it be because it's American-owned? ;-).

All the best,
Alex

That's cheap Ramon, thanks for the heads up; if it is as good as the 1998...

Ramon,

I bought this at Garys Wine Library in New Jersey for $30-$35. I've had it in three different vintages from the 2000 on. Always most rewarding.

Great price and a terrific wine, that's what I paid as a futures for it at WineX.

Thanks, Ramon.

I bought this at Gary's too for 30-35, right after Blanquito hyped it in the old site (deservedly so, imho). I'm convinced that the 2005 is better than the 2003, which I also like.

I cannot find this wine of their website, by the way.

I just went in and it said there's 142 bottles available.

BTW, anybody tried the 2006? It's priced at about $16.

Ah, there are 2 Wine Connection retailers out there.

Ramon, how are the storage conditions at the store? Would you buy a 1996 Bordeaux from them?

Patrick,

As far as I can recall, I've only bought as far back as vintage 2000 from Wine Conn. I have been very satisfied with the bottle conditions. Based on my experience with this store, I would buy much older vintages if they offer them for reasonable prices. BTW, the owner, Max Marinucci, is a frequent poster at the ebob Squires board.
