Buy it. I generally see it for $15-20 a bottle. Around $22 or something at the winery.

But I have the Gazzi coming. And I'm out of money. And SWMBO is going to kill me when the 3 cases I have being held show up.

I wasn't talking to you! :p
And the only reason I didn't get any is because I'm in the wine club.

I'll be picking some up asap- thanks guys!

Just got my first order from let's pour and it looks like they sent me one more bottle than I ordered. Checking to see my bank account charges but looks like they charged what I thought. Interesting.... I guess I should tell customer service.

They should roll out a surprise bottle program it felt like Christmas.

I recieved my first shipment from Empire wine and I was impreesed with the care with which it was packed.

They sent you my bottle.

Got my second order which was also cooked. The guy I spoke to (check the previous page towards the bottom) is already holding all three replacement orders for me.

Actually thougt that when I opened it. Lucky I live in MN so no threat of corking when it was in the 30's here this morning, plus I think wine takes a nice northerly route to get here, been lucky all summer.

Cameron Hughes has an interesting deal today on their Lot 219 Monte Rosso single vineyard 2009 Sonoma Zinfandel. It's normally $16 a bottle, but they are running a coupon that is 25% off and free shipping on 12 bottles (normally requires 24 for free shipping).



Make sure you enter the coupon code FBMONDAYS into your cart on the left hand side of the page.

note, this won't b the ramal stuff, but the white label, which is normally quite good, if not on the same level as the outstading Ramal!

Yes...yes they do. Anybody want to go in for enough to get free shipping? That'd be 6, so I'd love help with 3-4 bottles.

Also: this will get you a nifty discount while also giving me a bit of credit if you sign up.

I'm also at last putting in my order for Buena Vista Ramal 07 PNs so if anyone wants a couple of bottles (like klezman rpm and another) ping me now!

I sure did. Thanks for prompting me to go and login! No explanation for it, but I see that it expires quickly. From my Credit page:
$20.00 Expires in 4 days

I'll be sure to use it (hopefully they'll have a free shipping sale this week).

after checking a couple of my accounts, apparently some of them received a $10 credit back 25 August... not sure how long it was available, but expired now, and no email notificiations. But no $20 credit!

Based on the email, it seems that people that have contacted them with questions or feedback got the credit.

Klez, remember I'd like 2 of these! I'd even be up for making the order. My 2, your 4. You can get someone else can take 1-2 of your 4 off your hands. All else fails, I'll split 3-3

$48 case shipping to FL kills the deal.

Funny stuff. I did the exact same thing.

Carp. Forgot last night amid the prep for my day trip to LA. Today was complete hectic craziness. Sorry about that...for both of us

Maybe they'll have it on woot!

Stinky bait with a little chum.

I was going through the list of wines included in the bevmo 5 cent sale. Two wines stood out to me. Has anyone tried any of these wines? They scored high from raters other than Wilfred Wong.

Has anyone tried the 2007 Volta Napa Cabernet Sauvignon on lot18 at the moment?

I am thinking of blowing the last of my credits on them.

Thanks!
kM

Lot 18 has

2008 D-cubed Howell Mountain Napa Valley Zinfandel. It sound interesting.. Anyone try this?

Garagiste has:

2007 Kent Rasmussen Pinot Noir Carneros (Napa) - $22.80 along with a nice writeup

Woot had the 2006 for 3 bottles at $70 back on 3/26/09, so essentially the same price, different vintage.

Anyone have any comments on the '07?

Dang, that's a good price. I have a bottle of the '07 that I got last October for $35 from VinoFina. I haven't tried it yet, but if I weren't trying to cut back on my purchases, I'd probably get some more of it.

Yeah, I'm strongly considering getting more of the KR at that price. It's good juice. Not sure how much the shipping will kill the deal though. Maybe I should call Kent and ask for the same price direct from him
