6pk of 2020 JF Mugnier Nuits Saint Georges ‘Clos de la Marechale’ 1er for $145.99/per across 2 different Bottle King stores.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
2 bottles of the 2010 Santenots. Looking forward to trying. I forgot about this after you mentioned it a while back.Musigny 151 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 3:32 pmAgreed. Gorgeous wines.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Lol. Sure, go ahead and blame me.
It's amazing that a 1er cru Monopole is the cheapest wine in Mugniers's lineup. About a quarter of the price of his Chambolle village. Enjoy JC

I have some reservation on this vintage...I've see mixed notes, but the price was more than fair.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Agree and that’s just the way it goes nowadays but they did have an empty spot price tag of $189 for the Chambolle in the glass case but someone had already beat me to it. Bottle King tends to split up the allocated items amongst multiple stores so that is why you end up finding a btl or 2 or 3 and not full 6packs in any one location for the most part.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
$189 for the Mugnier Chambolle is about $300 less than what it sells for in the US if you can find it.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I realize but I also don’t think we should take average wine searcher listed retail prices for allocated items as gospel when there simply is not that much to go around (ie demand far exceeds supply). $189 is a great price for the best in class village Chambolle from Mugnier and it is also in line with the current wholesale costs, $500+ is not. There is a wide range of pricing when it comes to wines of this ilk (Raveneau, Rayas etc) and everyone has to draw their own line in the sand and decide what is worth it and what is not.

3 x Ch Poujeaux 2009 from auction.
Tried this recently and really enjoyed it so glad to have picked up some more. Not overly happy with the price paid but needs must.

4 x 2019 Ferriere
4 x 2020 Ridge Geyserville
2 x 2019 Giscours
All for around $28 each (plus tax and there $59/year flat shipping deal) once everything was stacked.

2x 2019 Brane Cantenac @ $59
1x 2019 Bel-Air Cuvee Jean Gabriel (Lussac St Emilion) @ $30. The wine manager at TW called this his poor man's La Fleur Petrus. I'll get back to you on that...

I've doubled down on Wine.com, for a running tally of:
-4 x 2019 DDC rouge (~$45 all-in, including coupons and 30% back towards gift cards)
-4 x 2019 Ferriere (~$28 all-in)
-4 x 2020 Ridge Geyserville (~$28 all-in)
-4 x 2019 Giscours (~$32 all-in)
-1 x 2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champage (~$140 all-in)
-2 x 2014 Bollinger Grande Annee (~$108 all-in)
-plus a few misc whites
I show the prices I paid not to gloat, but highlight for the savvy and hard-working shopper what you can get if you play the coupon-and-gift-card game at wine.com.
Assuming you have (a) interest in new releases and (b) have any use for gift cards at places like Home Depot, Amazon, etc, (and the added hassle of waiting for the reward to post, etc.), the 30% back you get on purchases makes these wine.com deals crazy-cheap.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Nice haul! I haven't gotten 30 percent again since last year but I certainly abused it then..... Stuck at 6 but at least had 18 percent recently.Blanquito wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:44 pmBlanquito wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:22 pm I finally took the wine.com plunge, and with coupons and 30% rewards through Capital One shopping, I grabbed the following:

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Good point: the 30% doesn’t last forever, maybe just your first month. But even at 18%, these are seriously tempting prices.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Bought 3 bottles, from The Dark Side of the Moon...
Re: So what have you bought lately?
For drinking next week at T & J's in Berkeley (because I could only carry 11 bottles with me)
1996 Leoville Barton
1988 Gruaud-Larose
1986 Ducru-Beaucaillou

Re: So what have you bought lately?
'86 Ducru is best described as a gamble, Patrick. Fortunately, I am the only drinker who is very sensitive to TCA. If I detect taint, I won't say anything unless someone else thinks the bottle is off. I would not do this in Oregon with my bloodhound son.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Yum, the 1996 Léo Barton!
And i can't remember if it was a magnum of 1988 Gruaud Larose or Lagrange that i brought to the second BWE convention in 2002 in Napa... but i'm 75 % sure it was the Gruaud.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
I had a rebottled one last year that was fantastic.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I've been thinking that I still don't have enough classified growth bottles from St Estephe, and I can't afford the top 3 in most vintages, so I was window shopping for Lafon-Rochet when I came upon an irresistible deal - 2010 La Dame de Montrose magnums for $99. I love that wine, so I bought 3 for $323 all in. That's the same price per ml that I paid in 2017 for 750s.
I'll work on the L-R some other time I guess.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Since 14 is the new 02, and everyone seems to love the 14 Sociando Mallet (normale), I just grabbed 3 magnums of the ‘14 Cuvée Jean Gautreau for $90/each for future conventions.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Lavrottes, 2017, Boursat Pere et Fils, £285/6/in bond, near Bonnes Mares and an under-the-radar producer, according to the blurb - burgundy is just so good these days - I am drinking a village 2015 Hubert Lignier Morey Tres Girard tonight and it is making the hairs stand up on the back of my neck it is so good.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Good, Patrick. Actually, I bought it today in SF to eat with corned beef and other Irish delicacies tonight in Berkeley. I'll see if I like it enough to buy some for Oregon.

Very nicely done, CV, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger at $250 on sale in NH as the "mystery 2019" in London.

Local Costco also had 2019 Petit Mouton for $169 a pop. Wondering if it’s worth or get more of Palmer for 30 bucks more...
