Ok, just bought three bottles of the port on Cinderella. I actually drank the 2003 Wellington port tonight, and thought "Port is great!" and then went back to Cinderella.

Another potentially interesting offer up on Cindy for a pair of Barolos.
Both are 90+ on CT with values well above the Cindy price.

2004 Guido Porro Santa Caterina Barolo

I bought the Caterina for $26 previously, making the 2000 $34. I'm still thinking...

Love me some Italian wine, however I just bought some beer from Invino. Glad to see Invino has Summer shipping happening also. $13 for refer trucks isn't too bad at all.

I think I'm going to be able to sit this one out. I'm already 4 bottles above SWMBO's no wine this month quota.

Ty Caton is running 50% off on selected wines for the next two days. Not sure what shipping will set you back, but maybe he'd hold them for pickup:

Ty has good prices on the wine in this sale (non-library wines 50% off), but the shipping ends up being about 6 or $7 a bottle, which pretty much kills the deal.

They better! I did the same (first WTSO purchase) since that is the min for free shipping right? I have been holding out hoping for a good deal on any of the G.S.M. blends I tried at the local Rhone Rangers tasting but the high praise on CT nudged me to take a chance on these. Has anyone had them?

I grabbed four as well, recent CT notes indicate the wine still has years of life remaining.

I found this site and wanted to share it with everyone. I'm probably one of only a few that didn't know about this, http://winehoarder.com/, but it seems to be a decent listing of daily wine deals.

If anyone knows of any good aggregaters for daily wine deal sites, please share.

I have 9 waiting to ship/ shipping in the next couple days

I also have 3 cases which I have committed to but not yet paid for.

Free shipping on wineshopper until 9pm Pacific.
They have a nice Portuguese wine
2009 Quinta do Crasto Douro Reserva Old Vines for $30. Kind of hard to find, I got the 2004 at auction and it was solid. Only problem is the 09 is a little young so yet another wine to sit in the cellar...

just wanted to add a note about invino here... i ordered a few of the large format raymonds they had back in early May. I'm just receiving part of the orders today. After this nearly 2 months delay, they never offered me the opportunity to hold the shipping until after the summer, or to have cooled shipping... i'm now really worried that the warm to hand bottles will just be super large bottles of vinegar...

i've been in correspondence with their CSR and just wrote them an email saying that i'm still missing over 1/3 of my order and that i need to see a genuine effort on their part to make me feel like customer service is part of their business motto before I can endorse invino to anyone...

Wow. I have generally had good experiences with invino. Perhaps this is only because I am 1 day ground shipping away from them though.

i've had better experiences with them as well... but a 7 weeks delay on a $$$$ order with very little communications is enough to change my mind, unless they show some efforts to win my business back...
