Any Zachy's recommendations?
I'll be at Zachy's at some point tomorrow picking up a couple cases of 2016 Bordeaux that have arrived.
I'll be looking for some lower priced chiantis and other Italian wines, maybe a Rhone and Burg or two.
If anybody has time to take a quick look at their website between now and early afternoon on Saturday I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Come on guys can you just take a quick look at the chianti/italian selections, looks like some wines are on sale, I'm just looking for stuff to drink in 2019.

maybe you don't see anything there. How about 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Felsina at $24.99?
That would seem like a reasonable price no?
I don't have Pappa Doc over there any more to help me out.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Ah I guess that Felsina is not in stock, never mind.
I do need to get a little more Italian in my cellar though.
I think I'll buy some more of that '15 Produttori in NH tomorrow, that was a real crowd pleaser.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
I am afraid not as I took a look at some of their inventory earlier this evening but there is nothing that I found that is even remotely tempting in their 2018 year end sale which is actually mis-titled as it is not a real year end sale as their sale prices are for the most part above retail elsewhere. Take your example of the Felsina CCR At $24.99/btl, when I was in Total Wine in Norwalk earlier in the week, they had it for $22.99/btl. While in store tomorrow, I would tell you to take a look at their clearance wines as sometimes you can find something worthwhile that is priced to move.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Ok that's good advice JC, thanks. I just figured I'll be in Scarsdale tomorrow, when you factor in gas, tolls, everything else, I thought it might be a good opportunity to stock up on 6-12 bottles for consumption in 2019. I'm picking up a case of 2016 Meyney and Tour St. Christophe.
Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Zachys is a little out of the way on my daily commute home (ie as is Rye Brook, Grapes, Varmax etc) so if there is something that you ever need picked up, I can do it for you and then store it for you until I see you, it’s not that big of a deal at all.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Good to know JC.
I was trying to coordinate a pickup of some of your wines with Chris in CT but my schedule is really, really tight tomorrow, I don't think I can do it.
The significant other will be moving up here for a while but keeping her place down there so I'll be in NYC a little less but still a fair amount.
I really want to do a BWE dinner with the Connecticut/New York BWEers in 2019.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
Sounds like a plan so let’s revisit the idea for a CT / NY BWE dinner once you are back from your Florida travels.
Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
I used to get the occasional box of Italian wines from Zachys, but its pretty hard to find anything that is fairly priced. I do think they can pick good stuff in that region though. I got tired of their constant games around prices/sales etc. so just eventually unsubscribed to all their lists. Every now and then they would have some legit sale (like $30 for any 2010 Brunello choose from like 50 different ones) but those are few and far between, so I don't miss the emails, nor their poor website)
Supposedly there are changes afoot, with new people/policies coming, but we'll see.
If you are in store, look for 2015 Tuscan wines

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
I was in Zachy's last week before leaving for my Florida trip.
It was the first time I'd been back there since we lost Pappa Doc, it was a very strange feeling.
I didn't buy anything as everything was overpriced but I did get my cases of 2016 Meyney and Tour St. Christophe, which I got for $27 and $23 per bottle respectively, which seem like pretty good prices.

Re: Any Zachy's recommendations?
2014 Domaine de Chevalier rouge for $53. Lowest price in USA.
Too late for this trip, Jim, but I might get some.
