Awesome. Do you know the prices by chance?

I think the Sugarloaf is $249, and don't know about the EE. If you'd like, I can ask the manager when he gets to the store around 1:00.

Not bad. I paid $275 for my 2013. Dont worry about asking him. I'm not sure if I really want to pull the trigger yet. But thank you for the info.

No problem. If you decide you want some, let me know and I'll see if it's still there.
My 2000 Burgess was outstanding yesterday. It still had a lot of fruit left with some acid, but you could definitely tell it was an aged wine. Glad I opened it when I did.

There's still wine for sale from Bevan directly if y'all are on the their allocation list. Here is what was available recently for me:
6 - EE
6 - Sugarloaf
6 - Ontogeny
6 - Wildfoote
6 - Syrah
1 - Impetus
2 - Two Dog
2 - Tench Cab
$195/bottle of cab, Shiraz and ontogeny are cheaper. I haven't ordered the '13's yet so if anyone wants to hop on my order and save on shipping please PM me.

By the way, the whites from Bevan are amazing. Their Richie Chard is my favorite wine this year and won't break the bank like the cabs. The whites are primarily what I buy from them due to the steep price of the reds.

Bularry and BSD care to give me some advice on any of the Brunellos on the provided link? Thanks in advance!

I don't know enough to give an educated opinion, but the '10 vintage is supposedly "vintage of the century", whatever that means, so probably lots of good options.

Not something I would normally consider, but rumor is there is some "cult" juice in these. Thoughts?

What is the rumor of the "cult" brand? This is either great marketing or a heck of a deal.

You are probably right, but the scuttlebutt is...Bond Matriarch

It's hard to tell with Cameron Hughes. I remember the same talk with Lot 200. It was a "100 point" wine but tasted like an 88 to me.

We had some great friends in town tonight so I cooked dinner (rib caps and truffle explosion raviolis) and opened some wines. I had a taste of each and a glass of the Myriad and Bond. The Bond won first place tonight. Myriad was awesome though!

I drank an '05 Brunello (Pian delle Vigne) on wed night with dinner. Damn fine wine.

If anyone wants my Schrader 6 pack allocation, let me know. I have another 6 pack coming from them and don't need my offering.

Just booked a trip to Napa/Yountville last night for the 14th-17th of January. Give me restaurant recs outside of the normal Thomas Keller restaurants (already booking those).

Also Vineyards recs for tastings and for tours pleeeeeeeease.

My fiance and I will be out there at that time too. As of now I'm planning tastings at Realm, Rivers Marie, Mike Smith wines, Schramsberg, and maybe Mending Wall. I think I can add ya'll to any of them if there's any interest.

What types of wine do you enjoy? What type of experience are you looking for in a tasting/tour?

So I shot and quartered a deer for a friend this weekend. These are the thank you gifts I got for that.

How young can you drink it? I've got a 2008 that supposedly needs three more years, but Christmas is coming up you know...

I think you should be good to go. I had a 2007 about 6 months ago and it was fantastic.

I don't think you'll be disappointed. My Napa cab window is about 5-7 years and you are right there with the '08. Do it.

Awesome. Shoot me an email. I may be able to get an Old Sparky too. The release is next Tuesday, I believe.

I just put two bottles of this in my cellar, but only one will be staying as the other one will be a birthday gift for my mother.



I don't think my mother has ever had a taste. I should tell her to hold on to it for 10 years, but given her age we'll enjoy when I'm staying at her house for her birthday party.

BSD,

I'm chasing a sixer of Hundred Acre at auction at the moment. I'll know Sunday evening when the auction closes. If I don't get it, I'll reach out to you!

edit to add....are we talking the 2013?

The '13s are already in hand. This is the '14 release. I have up to 3 allocations (one is a wishlist) so there is plenty to go around.
