Bollinger Special Cuvee - a lot of chatter about this wine on the forum convinced me to give it a try. $47.99 here


Jeez, the variance in the price of this wine is all over the place. At 48$ I would have this as my "house" champer. It is "fairly" valued at 60-65$ IMO.

Marcb7, if you landed any of these at below winesearcher low prices, I'd be very interested in becoming acquainted with a new source. TIA!

I wouldnt say they were lower than winesearcher prices but they were the lowest that I could find and still get them delivered.

2010 Albert Mann Riesling Furstentum.

6x NV Krug.

All this talk that NV Krug is back from palates I respect on this forum ( and a great sale price) caused me to buy 6 today.

I think it is a safe buy W+A, I have been rather impressed with recent bottlings as well. I pay 135$ im my market, Im sure you got it much cheaper.

Just today they were marked down to $99. When I received the phone call, I said hold 6, I will drop by today.

Yup...I would have bought 6 as well. I think its worth 100$....hope they show well for you. Look forward to your impression.

I will open one today or tomorrow. If the bottle shows well, I will buy 6 more before the sale ends on Monday.

Let me know if "one" needs any more "decent" cigars....perhaps I see a trade on the horizon

Indeed!

Today my absolutely final wine purchases of 2012:

- H. Billiot Champagne Cuvee Julie X2
- H. Billiot Champagne Cuvee Laetitia X2
- 2007 Buty Rediviva of the Stones X2
- 1989 Chateau Beychevelle

That's it for me this year.



Unless, of course, I happen to see a bottle of wine discounted at least 5% in the next 56 hours.

What colour? Didn't go with tulip chairs to go with the table?

In a light grey leather with wood legs. You can write on them with a sharpie and it comes off. We opted for new vs auction but if you like the tulip chairs, there's tonnes of them that come up at auction. Wright and Rago are just a couple houses that have this era. There's actually some good items in the January Rago discovery auction at reasonable prices.

Up north, not racked yet but figure 1500. +/- a few hundred. We'll see when it gets done.
