So what have you bought lately?

Thank you, Jacques.

When the Bug finally dies, we need an unofficial BWE South meeting focusing on white Burg (and Florida fishies). Maybe you’d like to try some of that Lamy Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet.

So Jim, You have not been buying? I still see 2012/2014 out there do you have enough? I don't, two issues I need to buy more wines for the long term. And I am dedicated to try more Chateaux. It is a long way to the top!
Take care!

Yesterday I broke down and bought 2019 Bordeaux futures. I exercised admirable restraint (

) in limiting the numbers of bottles:

2019 Clinet x 2
2019 Conseillante x 2
2019 Haut Bailly x 6
2019 Haut Brion x 2
2019 Lynch Bages x 6
2019 Montrose x 4
2019 Palmer x 4
2019 Talbot x 6

Then I started feeling bad about ordering so much wine that will take 20 years to start drinking well. Then the store just down the street sent an email announcing a big Father's Day sale. They usually have a few bottles with some age on them, and my past experiences with them have been good. So today I took advantage of the opportunity to assuage my conscience and balance out my futures purchase with:

2015 Les Carmes Haut Brion x 7
2010 Beychevelle x 8
2010 d'Issan x 2
2010 du Tertre x 1
2010 Talbot x 1
2009 Cantemerle x 3

David, you have the true BWE spirit: You feel so guilty about buying wine that you immediately buy more!

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 11:56 pm

There is a reason why, in the event of the death/disability/25th Amendment removal of the BD, David becomes David I, the next benevolent dictator of Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts, the greatest wine web site on the internet.

DavidG, out of curiosity, what was the pricing on your non futures Fathers Day purchases?

Genius! And funny!

I had no idea Rolland did white wine. And Trimbach?! Say it ain’t so!

Just had two 2016 Bdx cases delivered:
Fonroque
Marquis DÁlesme

Chateau Vin · Post by **Chateau Vin** » Fri Jun 26, 2020 8:26 pm

Inspired by BD, I got couple of 16 pedesclaux from local costco for 49... Generally I don’t open a growth property for dozen or so years, especially in a decent vintage, but I feel tempted, as I don’t recall tasting it at UGC...

Ianjaig · Post by **Ianjaig** » Tue Jun 30, 2020 10:26 pm

Picked up a few wines at an Auction last night:

2 x GPL 2015
3 x Saint Pierre 2016

They weren’t bargains but I was keen to backfill where I could. I was hoping the purchases were going to be cost neutral as I had listed a Coravin for sale but didn’t get any bites.

There were some nice wines for sale though as a private collector was selling up e.g. Lynch Bages 89, lots of GPL, Barton etc, etc…

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 12:16 am

Do you know what the '89 Lynch went for, Ian?
I paid a small fortune for three bottles recently out of California.

Ianjaig · Post by **Ianjaig** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:09 am

The one bottle went for $494 (NZ) Jim, so - $319 US if my currency conversion is correct. Beyond my budget I'm afraid...

I wish I had taken the plunge on some GPL 12 and 14s as I missed out on some other wines and would have got them with the bid I had in mind.
Ian.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:15 am

The GPL 14 is nice.
Yeah, '89 Lynch prices are crazy, I mean, I guess that's what I expect for the greatest wine ever produced.

Ianjaig · Post by **Ianjaig** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:33 am

Now that you put it like that, I wish I had taken the plunge.

Never tried it unfortunately.

Blanquito · Post by **Blanquito** » Wed Jul 01, 2020 1:48 am

2 bottles of the 2002 Pol Roger Blanc de Blancs at $60/per
2 bottles of the 2006 Cristal at $130/per

Wish there was more at those prices!

2 bottles of 2019 Tempier Bandol Rosé and holy shit has the price gone up! $56 per bottle in Florida with a minuscule allocation. I normally would have bought six but two will be enough for now. Most I've ever paid for a rosé. Fucking tariffs.
