3*1996 Moët & Chandon Champagne Dom Pérignon

Went to the new wine megastore in town, Total Wine, today and picked up these 12 bottles:

05 Lindemans Bin 99 Pinot Noir x 6 @ 4.77 ea. A cheapy everyday decent drinking PN. Can't beat the price.

04 Covey Run Riesling Columbia Valley x 2 @ 5.99 ea. Once again, hard to beat the price.

03 Edmeades Zinfandel Mendocino County x 1 @ 12.97

04 D'Autrefois Pinot Noir Vin de Pays D'OC x 1 @ 7.99

00 Chateau de Cruzeau Pessac-Leognan x 1 @ 19.99

03 Chateau du Grand Carretey Sauternes 375ml x1 @ 9.99 - can't find any info on this sauternes, but figured for the price, I'd give it a shot.

2 x 2003 Inniskillin Vidal Ice Wine 375ml @$35Cdn

This is on sale (reg $56) only at the Inniskillin 'Wine Rack' stores. It's bottled in 'Canadian Olympic' packaging, which is being discontinued. WS rates this 89 and shows a $59US price.

OTW, Wrong Olympics!

This has been sitting around cooking on the shelves since early '04. I think it was released just before the 2004 Summer Games. I tried a bottle last summer and it was cooked.

I would try it before cellaring it. Hopefully you got good bottles.

Ouch! I hope not, but I'll have to try it.

In case it is cooked, do you know if winery stores give refunds like the LCBO?
