When a great deal comes along, you have to pounce. I picked up 6 packs of each of Chapoutier's Côtes du Roussillon-Villages Domaine de Bila-Haut Latour-de-France Occultum Lapidem 2007 and Côtes du Roussillon-Villages Les Vignes de Bila-Haut 2007. Terrific values for those who love mouthfilling, southern French reds...

How much? The 2006 of the former was released here in Ontario for $20CAD.

They were $20 and $12 a bottle, respectively...

1 x 2005 Grange des peres (1.5L)
2 x 2006 Pegau CdP reserve
2 x 2006 Bernard Burgaud Cote-Rotie

Picked up some 2008 Vrai Canon Bouche on futures for cheap.

The guy I bought the Numanthia Numanthia from had 36 availble at that price. He is very reputable and I buy from him regularly. He is obviously clearing floor space. If anybody is interested I will contact him and see what he has left.

Some random purchases lately:

2 x 2004 Terrebrune Bandol
2 x 2006 Giacomo Conterno Barbera
2 x 2006 Chapoutier Le Meal Ermitage Blanc

I have to give props to Don from Wine Cellarage who just dropped my wine purchase at my house today. This was my first transaction with them whom I found through Wine-Searcher.

4 x 1997 Beaulieu GDL
6 x 1998 Vieux Chateau Certan

5 x 2005 McHenry Estate Pinot Noir

2 x 1995 Krug - took advantage of that recent deal

A lot of bang for the buck with this one.
Relatively speaking, of course...

Well my '96 Krug bottles were getting lonely so I really had no choice in the matter.

I have my eye on some '90 Krug too... It's an expensive habit

It's been quite some time since I've actually purchased any wines, but today, I found a deal that I could not refuse. It wasn't in the magnitude of Vino Me's buys, but I was happy.

I happened, very seredindipitously, upon a vertical of old Barolos. They were in the old stone passive cellar of a farmer outside of Meaford, Ontario. The temperature in there today (mid July) was 61F. I am told it goes down to 52F in the dead of winter.

1952 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1961 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1964 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1971 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1979 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1982 Borgogno Barolo Riserva
1989 Borgogno Barolo Riserva

and finally, from the same collection, a bottle of 1989 Chateau Lynch Bages.

All fills are into the mid to low neck and the labels and corks/capsules are in excellent condition.

I realize that the '52 is probably vinegar by now, but the rest just may be decent.

These are to be opened with my Italophile connection, probably as a vertical, and with a rather large spit bucket handy.

Wish us luck!
