Re: So what have you bought lately?
Ah ok. I see the name on my supermarket shelves here in Maine and I was wondering.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Folks used to chase it here in the South.
It's OK.
It's OK.

Been buying some grower Champagne. Collon. Hard to beat for 29/btl.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I was a late entrant to the 1985 tasting, so I bought six bottles of Gruaud-Larose 1985. The first one was astonishingly good. All my other options for the dinner were taken. I am really glad I bought the six rather than a single bottle.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Picked up a mixed 6pack of some 2013 Aubert Chardonnays in 2 btls of the Ritchie @ $119.99, 2 btls of the Sugar Shack @ $127.49 and 2 btls of the CIX at $127.49 from Surburban during their annual summer inventory close out.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
So as I was browsing the Norwalk CT Total Wine site today at lunch and came across the 2010 Pichon Lalande for $119.98/btl I quickly modified the order to a case order at which point there was an additional 10% discount that kicked in bringing down the cost per btl to $107.98 before tax. Now with pricing for this starting at $175, I think that this was a stellar mis-priced item find.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I bought 188 bottles of burgundy in The Cote D'Or last Tuesday and Wednesday. Mainly whites but among the producers Jean-Baptiste Ponsot, Girardin, Marc Colin, Sauzet, Michel Colin Deleger, Chartron et Trebuchet, Clotilde Davenne, Gros Frere et Soeur, Daniel Rion and Domaine Bart.
Back here in London I bought single bottles of Chateau De Pommard 1976, Chateau De Pommard 1983, Pichon Lalande 1981 and Gruaud-Larose 1986.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Wow! That's quite a haul Ian. Well done!
But with all that white Burgundy, I have to ask how long you plan on cellaring them and your thoughts on premox. I'm a white Burg lover but pretty much gave up on the stuff about 15 years ago due to premox. Are there now a group of producers who have managed to figure it out? Or is there still a risk across all producers?

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Most of it will be consumed within a year David, and MEK will buy a chunk of that too. The average price was €22 a bottle so mid-range rather than high end. Most of the whites are 2013s.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Well that makes perfect sense. Young burgs can be satisfying but the aged stuff was one of my favorites. It's still frustrating to think about what I'm missing because I'm unwilling to roll the dice on expensive bottles to age 10-15 years or more.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
I also still shy away from the white Burgs I love because of premox. I still buy an occasional Batard or Corton Charley and cross my fingers, but mostly I keep to 1er Crus and village wines and drink then younger than I would like. Unfortunately, in my experience there is no substitute for white Burgundy.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Me three. I have a bunch of premox I can't drink but cry when I pour it down the drain.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Picked up a 6er of 2010 Casanova di Neri White Label BdM for $44.99/btl + Jersey tax from the Total Wine in River Edge NJ after the 6btl mix and match 10% discount.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I bought a six pack of Michele Chiarlo Barolo Cerequio 2007 and a case of Louis Remy Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Derrière La Grange 2002, after tasting a enthralling bottle of the 2001.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Good bottles of this are showing so well these days, as you no doubt know.stefan wrote:83 Lynch...
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Yes, Patrick; that is why I bought another one. The '76 Ducru is probably not very good, but I know that the provenance is good.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Picked up a 6er of the 2010 Mastrojanni BdM from Westchester Wine Warehouse for $49.99/per and had a nice conversation with Ken Irving who is their Director of Fine Wine.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Mixed 1/2-case of 2013 Ojai Vineyard Pinot Noirs.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Picked up 6ers of both the 2012 Evening Land Seven Springs Pinot Noir @ $44.99/per from The Wine Buyer (aka Bottle King) w/free shipping and then the 2012 Evening Land Seven Springs La Source Chardonnay (96WS) @ cost from a friend.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Last night we had the 2008 Evening Land 7 Springs. Very good, but it was outshone by the 2012 St. Innocent Shea Special Selection. If Mark Vlossak had made the '08 7 Springs I am sure that it would have been better that what Dominique Lafon produced.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
When I read the quantity and quality of what some are buying, I feel like Tom Yorke in his song "Creep" : "I don't belong here"!
2 bottles of 2012 Clape Cornas, 1 bottle of 2011 Côteau de Tupin Stephan Côte-Rôtie, 1 bottle of 2012 Barbarine Gangloff Côte-Rôtie.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
1 2000 Potel Bonnes Mares, 1 2003 Penner-Ash Shea, 6 2010 Scopone Brunello L'Olivare. More importantly, I found a bottle of 1989 Talbot that I did know that I had. Lucie & I drank it last night to welcome her return from CA. It is much better than HWSRN said in 2002. After we drank it I looked for it on line. The lowest offer is over $100, so Parker's 87 score did not cause the price to go through the floor, unfortunately.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Patrick, what is your WineBid moniker? Mine is stefan.
Re: So what have you bought lately?
Blanquito of CO.
I know I've accidentally outbid you once before (a bottle of the 78 Lagune), I did it from my phone and in the mobile interface I didn't see the Stefan of TX until later on my laptop. Now I am always very careful, especially with any lots of Lagune!

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Thanks, Patrick. I never outbid someone whom I recognize as a BWE colleague.
You did very well at WB in the summer!

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Well our bdays are getting close. The weather is getting cooler . So it is shipping time. I have a bunch of 2009 Cantemerle, so got a bunch of 2010 Cantemerle. Been drinking it since the 1989.
And Susan and I got to know each other over a 1996.
Also sprang for some 2013 Strub Niersteiner Paterburg Spatlese.

Re: So what have you bought lately?
Very nicely done, Rob, that 2009 Cantemerle is a beauty too.
I'm gonna order another 6 bottles of the 2010 from MacArthur's, a little more expensive than PC and some of the other places, but I like their really quick service.
