... the 2000 Clos des Goisses truly great. If you want to try one of their wines that is almost as fine at a lower price, look for the 2002 Brut Millesime Cuvee 1522.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Found a case of 2005 Cameron Hughes Merlot Puisseguin-St. Émilion Lot 54 for $3 per bottle today.

You have only worked half the year to begin with.

I really need to take lessons from you and PH.

I let a friend purchase my allocation this year. I logged back in earlier today and noticed a 5pack was still available. I almost pulled the trigger.

First purchase in about a month.

Thanks. I was quite pleased to find the Giacosa Falletto at about €70 each. The Rocche was a bit more at just over €100. That got better with the VAT tax refund.

They also had the 2004 Giacosa Rocche Riserva (red label) for €215 (€190 after VAT rebate) which I left on the table. Now I'm kicking myself since I got back without getting nailed for duty.
