| Nope, didn't taste it but it had good reviews. Worth it under $65 or so - I paid $54 inc. tax. Better than the Billecart-Salmon Rose as a comparison. Nice champagne buys from NYC. From your notes it looks like the Henriot delivered. | | | |

| Let me know when you pop one. I'm interested because we get Billiot up here.
Yep, thought the Henriot showed well. I'm on the prowl. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| Indeed! I'm going to drink some now. It's a 102 degrees and Champagne is sounding very good. | | | |

| First time I didn't go 6 & 1 on the Shafer. I'm just done paying over $200 for wine, any wine. And I love the HSS! Took 3 and 1 and also the 6 pack offer from Alban. | | | |

2 x 1999 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année @ $114.99 each wow, I guess my $65 / bottle a few months ago was a good price?
I bought my 6/1 Shafer HSS allocation. I anticpate a very meager mailing list buying season this Fall. Depending on their prices I only expect to buy from KB, Aubert & DuMOL.

| Yes MM, that was a fantastic price. You can't touch that wine for less than $100.00 today. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| I'm debating passing the Hillside offer. 215 per btl! MAybe if we all did, it would sink to a buck and a half! | | | |

| Unfortunately, their waiting list is a few years long. A LOT of people would have to drop off to impact them. | | | |
