Howdy all,
Been a while since I've been around these parts, thanks to TW for dropping newsgroups.
The Mrs and I were out shopping today and stopped in to one of the local retailers to see what they were sampling. To our great surprise, they were pouring high end wines to promote the
30% off anything over $30 bottle sale.
I did not take notes, but here is what we had. All for free! (Well, not counting what we walked out with. :) )
2005 Twomey Napa Merlot
2006 Stag's Leap Artemis
2006 Caymus Napa Cab
2006 Dunn Napa Cab
2005 Opus One
2006 Duckhown Napa Cab
2006 Beaucastel CdP
2004 Heitz Napa Cab
2002 Cristal
Needless to say, my jaw hit the floor. They also had the high end room open for perusal where I proceeded to slobber over any and everything: Sassacia, Gaja, all 5 1st levels, box of 3 different vintages of Dom, etc. They even had a ginormus bottle of Ch. d'Yquem for $5K. Sitting on the floor!! Probably a Methuselah or a Salmanazar size.
Enjoy! I just had to brag to someone who could appreciate what I just went through. Robb in Austin
