[Dom Shepherd]

Did we buy them all?!

 

[Steven Pritchard]

Saw this making eyes at me this evening from under the fine wine table in Costco so felt duty bound to give it a good home!

You have a fine wine table at Costco? Ours only sells tables.

You are clearly going to the wrong Costco then Steve!

I live outside London….

A couple of bottles each of the 2019 Geyserville and Lytton Springs via TWS. If anyone wants any then they are already showing as low stock - fewer than 100 bottles of each remaining.

The mixed case of 6, Geyserville, Lytton Springs and East Bench now available.

 

[Ben Coffman]

I think BBR's Ridge Zin 2018 is actually Ridge East Bench Zin in disguise. And so good value at £23 in their sale.

 

[Mark Carrington]

Stop it, everybody. Stop it.

 

[Paul Anderson]

No wine yet, but I pulled the trigger on the TWS 30 year old Islay, which at £140 is decent value for the age.

Missed that one. However its only 8 years since I bought their Exhibition 25yo Islay single malt for £33 a bottle

 

[Mike Mitchell]

The mixed case of 6, Geyserville, Lytton Springs and East Bench now available.

Thanks David! Sort of. Drat - there goes another resolution

 

[Paul Cantlon]

Some mixed Gouges from Lloyds wines.

 

[Geordie Torr]

Not a purchase, but a delivery of sorts. Kate arrived back from a month in Australia with a few bottles from my Aussie stash. The Grange is well travelled - shipped to the UK, where I purchased it, then shipped back to Australia when it looked as though we were moving there 'permanently' and now brought back to the UK again.

Missed that one. However its only 8 years since I bought their Exhibition 25yo Islay single malt for £33 a bottle

From a brief look at the TWS website, it appears to be mysteriously back in stock...

 

[Gareth J Welch]

They have an 8 yo Islay and the 1991 as far as I can see now.

 

[Mark N Wright]

Perrin Gigondas Tourelles £24 a bottle all in via Vivino. I went for 6 of the 2017, but 2018 also available.

That seems a really good price Mark.

 

[Gareth Germain]

Well priced cases of 2006 LMHB and 2001 Margaux magnums for us. Compared to recent releases they are a bargain and should still last me into my 60s!

 

[Mark N Wright]

That seems a really good price Mark.

Can’t take credit for finding it, someone on TWS community alerted me.

Someone else noted the three SA Damascene Syrahs from Lea and Sandeman, but I am now spent up unfortunately. If any Good Samaritans are buying some, especially the Swartland (but would like to try all 3) and would be happy to hold on to some for me I would be really made up. I am guessing they will sell out quickly.

Bit cheeky I know, but it’s been done before

 

[Daniel Daker]

No February thread yet!?

[Odd Rydland]

A few lower level 2019s (2 of each) on Monday for drinking within the next 4 years:

Chorey-lès-Beaune 2019 Tollot-Beaut
Ladoix Buis 2019 Nudant
Volnay 2019 B. & T. Glantenay
Gevrey-Chambertin Jeunes Rois 2019 Duroché

And the jury is still out on my order of Coquard Loison Fleurot Vosne-Romanee 2019

Trying to kick the habit....

 

[Andrew Blunsden]

A six pack of Kumeu River Estate Chard 2020 from TWS, having had a bottle of the 2018 at the weekend. (Ordered in Jan)

 

[David Thomson]

I think you had an impact with this - it went from >120 bottles to sold out now (of which I may have been responsible for six).

I see it is back on TWS list. I have obviously bought first and posted second this time around!

 

[Paul Anderson]

I seem to have had a few EP purchases all arrive in the past couple of weeks -

- a second purchase of a 6 pack of Gaston Chiquet Special Club 2014 (at the same price as the first 6 pack bought last Summer).
- case (12) of Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée Flavie 2019, Domaine Guy Amiot.
- 6 pack of Musar Blanc 2014.
- 4 bottles of Leeu Passant Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Mullineux, Stellenbosch.

Quite a bit of cellar shuffling been undertaken
