I hope so. I am all tapped out.

Uh, yea - right, you wish...

BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Sigh.

Premier Cru is just eating my lunch. Why would they only charge $89 for the 1996 Taittinger Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne. It is like they are out to get me.

You guys have no self control.

Repeat after me.

Passing.

Passing.

Passing.

WIML...

Can you say "pass" because you have no room left in your cellar? Perhaps Dave has too many empty racks and he's got this thing about filling them up??

T-Rep

No. I have at least 1,000 bottles worth of storage.

Dave,
You have 30 days or so to get your credit card balance repaired - the Fall mailers start next month!

Joe...I admire your self discipline....we should all learn from you!

T-Rep

Dave -

It's a good thing no one really pays attention to the Wine Advocate. Parker gave that bubbly 98 points (in the dinner section). I bought it in the Spring after tasting it in CA. Buy.

Maybe the 'spring' mailers are done, but the fall ones are just about to hit. In fact, I got a Dehlinger mailer just the other day.

Got DeLille yesterday. It appears Parker has been very nice to Greg.

Exactly what I was thinking, David.

KB single vineyard PN and Peay Syrah shouldn't be too far down the road.

Excuse me while I go check the racks for open space....

I am going to have to start WIMLing a number of mailers. Kosta Browne, I repeat, Kosta Browne will not be one of them!

Winetex, I tried the 1996 Comtes at a dinner a couple of months ago and loved it. This is my third purchase, which makes it my largest champagne holding ('96 DP and '96 William Deutz Rose are close behind). I am going to set these down for a while. The RP score was just an unofficial Hedonist review that happened to get published.

I must admit, with a cellar full of young wines, I'm having more and more difficulty in pulling the trigger on these mailers. Looking back, where so many good deals are still to be found, is holding more and more interest for me.

All I can say is "INCOMING!"

I'm still sitting on my Foley order.
I haven't responded to my Alban offering and it "expired" 6/30.
I've got the Schrader Zin order sitting here (though I am not ordering an Zins these days).

I'm sitting on Kistler, and Jones Family right now.
Turley, Harlan, Colgin, SQN, Rochioli and many more are about to make their arrival in the next few months. And the list keeps growing. Once it stops the circle begins, AGAIN!
