July/Aug Classics
Thanks! I was just about to post.
July: Prado, Producttori
August: Nada
That is not a good price for the Produttori normale. The 2014 was $39 here and the 2015 is currently available for $42.
Of course that pales compared to the $516 they want for the 2011 Solaia.
Some the South African whites interest me if I can remember to order on the day they are made available.

Thanks Steve - yikes! Add $9 to the KGBO price and get the Riserva Produttori at SAQ.
The Muga, Brokenwood and Chamonix in July are probably worth a pick-up to me.
The Laherte Freres rose de saignee, Finca YGay, Bikandi Vendimia and David & Nadia (Sadie) are all worth a buy in August.
what about the 2015 Dominus????

$440? Hard pass. Dominus hasn't really been great since 2002 (some might say earlier).

I will go with Diamond Creek any day~
$440 is insane. The last vintage I bought was 2010 and it was $151 CAD when first offered at the KGBO. (It was later offered at $171.) How the hell does the price TRIPLE in five years?
So, the Muga went quickly today, holy sh*t. I was in the system by 8:31 and it was gonzo.

Maison Roche De Bellene Collection Bellenum Gevrey-Chambertin Villages 2000
I found early vintages of Roche de Bellene to be quite variable, with some real disappointments, so I stopped buying them. I'm not 100% if this bottling is when he was buying up earlier vintage wines from other producers and relabeling to launch his brand.
4 x Prado Enea
The Prado sold out immediately. (I think I only been to buy this wine once or twice over the years). Only picked up the Paleo.
Yeah - Prado Enea sold quick. Was in the second it opened and saw all 400 there. A few mins later it was all gone. Got 3.
Not surprising that the Prado Enea goes so fast. Great for the price. I had a bottle of the 1970, in 2017 that was stunning, showing its potential for longevity. Still holding a few 2005's and 2009's of this.
I was busy and didn't log on until 8:35. It showed 3 bottles of the Prado still available but when I added them to my cart it said the Prado was unavailable. I refreshed the page a few times, and each time it showed a different quantity available - 2, 3, 5 - and each time it wouldn't let me add them to my cart... until about 8:40 when I was finally able to secure 2 bottles and check out.
Got two of the Chamonix and Brokenwood.
