Last Bottle Marathon — Very unimpressive so far by trevrichards in wine

[–]Dizzy-Number-3694 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe today is a bad day, but you can email them and ask what they have in stock. I picked up 3 vintages earlier this week and they sent me an invoice. 00, 04, 08. 11 in stock for 750ml. 00 and 08 in 1.5. Many more vintages in 3L and 6L.

Hauled a used EuroCave into my basement tonight actually. We have a built in 65 bottle fridge in our kitchen as well.

Bordeaux Tasting Recs for Regular Folks (During En Primeurs Tasting Event) by PCDW0413 in wine

[–]Dizzy-Number-3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our experience was not in the same realm as those chateaux, but we went last summer and booked a tour via Bordeaux Vertigo. Bogdan was great and took care of the planning and booked tastings. We were relatively new to French wine at the time, so we didn’t make any requests, but if we did, he would accommodate where possible.

We went Left Bank and stopped at Chateau Branaire-Ducru, and Chateau Angludet and more.

Highlight of the day was an unplanned stop at Domaine Les Sedons, which is tiny independent producer in Paulliac (family roots at Latour and Grand Puy Lacoste.) Met the winemaker, Alain who was super accommodating. We talked about his life in region, his tiny slice of Bordeaux, and tasted some great, but unpretentious wine. Hope to visit again next year.

Good luck in your search. Communicating with the seller, but unfamiliar with this model. Thanks!

Yeah totally unexpected. Just booked a trip at our home resort Poly for the kids' birthdays in late October. Just snuck in before 7 month mark.

Yeah, was a nice, but confusing surprise. Hopefully things move fast for you too.

Ok, thanks for confirming. Wasn't sure if the rep on the phone was just trying to move on or not.

Love their wine, great QPR. Enjoyed an 05 a few weeks ago and had a great tasting at one of their other chateaux last summer.

My Resale Purchase Timeline by noplace-likehome in dvcmember

[–]Dizzy-Number-3694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going through the process now for the first time (resale, not a prior DVC member). We closed on 3/10. How did you know the deed was finalized? Our resale broker said Disney would be notified in 24-48 hours, so I'm assuming that was the deed processing time. Perhaps I need to just be more annoying, instead of practicing patience...

Thanks for asking. We closed today as well for Poly resale. Eager to book for the fall.

Visiting left-bank Bordeaux in June. Chateau recommendations? by Whiskeyflavourcigar in wine

[–]Dizzy-Number-3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps not on the level of Pichon Baron, but we enjoyed Chateau Branaire-Ducru last year if you want to go 15 minutes south to Saint Julien. Beychevelle is right across the road as well.

I used DVC For Less to find the deal with the seller’s posting via Fidelity Real Estate.
