Stop it Paul, now having read what everyone enjoyed on NYE I feel a sudden urge to buy wine.

Yet more Coonawarra Cabernet: 8 bottles of 2015 Petaluma Evans Vineyard Cab/Merlot.

Thinking about the tax and duty payable on last years EP purchases is enough to stop me buying anything else …………
for the moment.

Given how bonkers some of the EP2020 prices look I'm looking back at previous vintages I thought overpriced at the time and thinking what a bargain they are.... it is a dangerous mind game, but has netted some 2013 Drouhin Laroze Clos de Beze and 2018 CLF Charmes Chambertin.
That said I did go for some 2020 Chanson Savigny Dominode.
Time to stop browsing the internet and get back to work to pay for it.

The post-Christmas/New Year sale in London is a bit disappointing (both wine and food), still, I saw one bottle of Veuve Fourny et Fils Champagne Cuvee Clos de Notre Dame 2008 at Selfridges at reasonable price, so I bought it.
I am waiting for some Ch. Heidsieck 2016 base BdB and Beaucastel RVV blanc 2016 to arrive, but those were paid for in 2021.

Planning on buying a whole lot of Seckford in bond storage. That should take up a vast chunk of January’s budget….

I did at least wait until the end of New Year's Day to acquire a 6-pack of Roederer 242 at the Majestic price, along with a couple of other decently priced bottles from their sale...

Right on cue…….. ouch!

Yes some additional Majestic bin end sales today which brings the Lismore Syrah 2017 down to £19.49. Sold out online and limited stock in stores but I managed to snaffle 10 bottles.

Piper Heidsieck Rare 2002 x 3
Cartier NV Brut x 1
The latter being the result of my wife's over indulgence at the jewellery shop.

I’ve been really tempted but looking at my stock I see I have over 25 dozen burgundy in bond (as well as a lot of other stuff plus rather more in my cellar) so I think I’ll be restricting myself to a couple of cases this time…

The sweet peace of Christmas and zero purchases for around 7 days came to a crashing halt. One last flurry I think before slowing down.
Found a few bottles of very well priced Comtes 2004 and Cristal 2013. Then a small retailer I know had a 25% off offer and had 3 bottles of Cristal at an already fair price so added a Comtes 2007 and Gosset 12ans to make the case.
Rare 2002 also has been added.
Vilmart Rose 2013
Rare 2008
A few bottles of Heimark Cab Sav 2018
Arista Ritchie Chardonnay 2018
Couple of Paul Pillot 2017 Charmois St Aubin

Abstaining from drinking in January is proving much easier than abstaining from buying:
Confuron-Gindre Bourgogne Rouge, NSG & V-R villages all 2017s, plus 2016 Hubert Lamy St-Aubin Derrière Chez Edouard.
This impulsive rush of blood to the head followed an approach to Bacchus to sell some wines in their next auction. The naively heroic idea is to fund wine purchases out of wine sales in 2022.

It's early in the month, but after giving him a miss for a couple of years, I've dipped back into Andrew Nielsen's Le Grappin with a mixed half case of red. They've got pricey, but none of his wines have failed to be enjoyable over the years, and I can bathe in the self-satisfied feeling of supporting a smaller negociant.

Swig have a few interesting Blankbottle releases. A Riesling which I’ve not seen and magnums of Orbifrontal cortex, so another little order has gone in.
Had the 2018 Cortex the other day and it’s a decent enjoyable drop. Mrs H also liked it.

I have no room to store anymore wine, but still I fell for the Sami-Odi offer
3 bottles each of the 2020 and the new "Our Hill" Syrah plus 6 of Little Wine 11
Price of the Little Wine is up to $60 and the Single Vintage is $85.

I’d like to lay my hands on some Sami Odi in the UK but the scarcity means that when they are rarely available they are a fair bit more than double those prices - e.g. £120 for the 2019 vintage!
