Is JJB JJ Buckley? It's listed at $95 on their website. Maybe there was an e-mail deal?

It was thru email from JJ Buckley and labeled private client price...I had to buy 3 at that price. I wish I had more room in my cellar!

Another year? How long has Schrader's list been "waited"? I just wish that they'd offer more than one bottle of each, like they did for the 2005.

$28+-.

While normally $34 up here, the '07s have been reduced to $29 with another 15% removed if purchased at the Depot outlet. Very tempting to add to the holdings.
I find the Arneis a good one to have in the cellar for the several pairings to works well with.

Nope. I don't believe they bring this in every year.

Vienna becomes a magical place each December. There are Christmas markets in every square filled with people drinking mulled wine or hot cider and generally making merry. If you've never been here during this period, you should add it to your list of things to experience.

I like Canali as well, but thought the new Bogosse were more fun.

I went looking for Hugo Boss, but was not crazy about this seasons release.

No love for Robert Talbott??? Like Canali, not a Boss fan, usually.

Talbott... I buy for dress shirts and ties, and also always visit the Talbott winery when playing Pebble Beach.

Now if we start talking shoes, we really will be drifting.

We tasted through their lineup at the winery a few months ago. All their wines were excellent, and 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.

4x 2000 Philipponnat Clos des Goisses

(FYI: Crush Wines in NYC has a great price on these right now)
