Hah! I'm glad to have gotten you back in return for the wallet-emptying Louis Jadot Burg the other day. I managed to resist this port... so far...

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.

Karma!

Another potentially interesting offer up on Cindy for a pair of Barolos.
Both are 90+ on CT with values well above the Cindy price.
2000 Damilano Barolo Riserva
2004 Guido Porro Santa Caterina Barolo
Curious as to others comments/opinions.

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 have tried the Guido recently and it is quite good. I'm in for a couple of packs!

If any are in, and want to add, or get rid of a single pack, PM me. Can't pull the trigger on a double-double. Trying to save up for RPM. Kyle?

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.

For those that missed an Inspiration woot for "the last 70 cases" of Inspiration 2008 CS and Zin, RLL has an offer HERE for it as well as a 2008-2010 Zin vertical, some 2010 Chardonnay, a mixed 2009 Viognier and SB lot and some 2008 RR PN.
PM if ya need an invite.

I love Veeder and Howell Mtn. fruit, but no experience with this particular label.

I went in on these. Hopefully they have some life left since I did the 4 pack.

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 went in for 6. The last time they had this good a deal on an older wine (1998 raymond generations) I was sad I did not buy more than 4.

I was doing so well for a while there not ordering anything and now I have 30 bottles on the way. over the course of a week

Heh, guess someone should start a how many bottles pending thread..I have 20 pending now that TO showed up today

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.

Last Bottle has the 2008 WH Smith Marimar Vineyard Pinot Noir for $22 (CT community value over $40). Free ground shipping on 4.

tytiger58 wrote:Heh, guess someone should start a how many bottles pending thread..I have 20 pending now that TO showed up today

Yeah but that would need specifications as to what counts.

I have 21 bottles that have arrived at my cellar but that I have not gone by to file into my locker.

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.

So much tasty

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.

cmaldoon wrote: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...

Silly wine trinket deal of the day.

I've only ordered from them once, and they screwed it up. But they did make good on the deal and sent me what they failed to deliver the first time around.
