Just an FYI.

K&L Wines has some pretty screaming bordeaux prices going on right now.

04 lascombes $29.99
05 lascombes $49.99

amongst others.

I prefer to think of it as post insanity return to normal prices rather than a blowout.

Thanks for the heads up T Dub..

Well said, glad I did not get carried away.

Thanks for the heads up as well T Dub.

I caved and picked up 3...thanks for the heads up!

Looks like they've reloaded with more...quite a bit more!

This is a great price, and a great wine. For those who want to experience a great example of what the 2005 vintage is about, at a great price...this is it...

More and more these days, we have examples like this that prove how worthless futures has become! Granted...if you bought VERY early and picked up things like Latour and Lafite, you may have value right now (all because of Hong Kong). Otherwise...I won't be surprised to see many more deals down the road...

Not to mention with some of the off vintages like 2004, 2006, etc...

I bit

2005 Reserve de la Comtesse Lalande, Pauillac (1.5L) $ 90.00 Good price and needed something good for a gift.

Actually one for me and one for gift.

November budget blown

Thanks for the tip T Dub. I just bit on 2 of the '05's.

Thanks! I have been waiting for a long time to see the 2005 Lascombes to come down to this price. Feeling lucky I have not bought any yet.

I really like K&L Wines. I bought all of my B 06's there... good prices...

Will be interesting to see if this is a trend or a blip. How often does the vintage of the century get discounted?

I stopped by K&L in hollywood to pick up the 04 and 05. They still have plenty in stock.
