I started buying some stuff from WineBid last Winter, and have not been disappointed yet with anything I've received. Now, starting around Memorial Day, they began to store my Summer purchases, and I imagine they'll be shipped here to Ohio sometime in the next few weeks (it's supposed to cool down into the 60's the next several days).

Nice line up if you remove the domestic plunk

Be careful though, you can get addicted to WineBid pretty fast.

Ya think?

I would be in trouble if this was available for Canadians without any hassle.

Oh boy, I WANT to be in trouble.

Wines I'm waiting on from WBid:

2003 Château Montrose
1998 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select
1991 Joseph Phelps Insignia
1997 Kathryn Kennedy Cabernet Sauvignon
2002 Martinelli Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge

They shipped my summer holdings to New Jersey last week.

Nice haul silk. I've got about a dozen wines on hold w/them. A few are pretty fragile. I contacted them a few weeks back and asked to hold until I contact them. With cooler weather approaching I didn't want to risk them being proactive. winebid was happy to oblige.

Decent lineup if you remove the French plonk.

or

Did someone have a gun to your head and say 'Bid on French"?...

(you choose)

Just got the e-mail this afternoon that it's all shipped. Should arrive Wednesday. Both the American AND French plonk...

Congratulations on winning the lottery, silk. Nice haul.

Nice!
Not to be negative, but I live up the street from WB and it has been pretty warm here (close to 80). Be sure to check the bottles pretty carefully when they arrive.

They also ship from the suburbs of Chicago, which is probably where his shipment will go from.

I believe that they ship from Napa to Chicago in a temp-controlled van.

Got the order this afternoon, and the bottles are nice and cool. They did ship from Illinois; of course it's cloudy and 58 degrees here this afternoon.

PAR-TAY AT SILK'S!

I'll save my Clio for you.

Silk- Keep in mind WB only combines auctions in consecutive weeks (I think you can adjust preference up to one month). I just received 11 bottles yesterday...in 4 separate boxes. Looks like you may get about 20!

My little haul included a 97 Giacosa Rocche Falleto Barolo, an 04 Kisteer Cuvee Cathleen Chard, a couple of Saxum & Carlise syrahs, some older Heitz and a .375 of 1974 BV Latour for my birthday/year next Friday!
