Re: So what have you bought lately?
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.

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.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
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.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
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

Re: So what have you bought lately?
A few varied dry whites like

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!

Re: So what have you bought lately?
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.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I see 2023 Mouton is coming out at like $440?
Re: So what have you bought lately?
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...

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Not biting on 2023 Futures and instead doing a little backfilling like Jim but for Giscours with case quantities of the ‘19 and ‘20 for the cellar.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Looks like you will win the BWE Buyer of the Month award for May, Jim. Congratulations!
As for me, I am taking the month off. Our Oregon house is already low in empty space for wine. I would have to buy another wine fridge if I went on another buying spree.

2 bottles of 2018 Brandlin Cabernet Sauvignon.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
As I need some Giscours for current drinking.
