She also suggested that even after this sells out there may be more available in a couple of months. There’s a big difference (3 to 4x?) between that and retail. I watched the infomercial video and her summary seemed to directly connect the $500 price point with restaurant wine list prices. With some punctuation wiggle room, perhaps that's the cover for the claim. The list of wines that start at $500 on steakhouse wine lists is a bit longer. Undoubtedly a premium producer regardless.ĭave R. Sorry for my vague quote - I meant I doubt its Screaming Eagle if they have a ton of it, given their already low production.

It's whether the grapes are total shit from the source! But the sham review is a good sign they are not. WA been around forever and rather reputable. If they have a TON of this stuff it raises doubts as to the source. But given the success of De Negoce, and their prior offerings, I am very surprised. Most people don't want to pay more than $20 for a bottle that they don't know. I don't think they lying about anything but it's hard to understand. How many cases of this amazing juice did they make? It makes me more skeptical to be sure. If I do I need to sit out all purchases, including (and especially) De Negoce, until at least October.įor anyone who hasn't joined yet - shameless plug time - here is a 30% off coupon: I have an order for 6 in, but considering upping to 12. I'm surprised Yesterday is still available.
I'm hopeful the current situation provides for much better opportunities and quality (see de Negoce) which is also a lower price point, aka, a 20 that tastes like a 40-50 is a pretty great proposition, even if it's not a $125-$150 like pitched. But no, it's really rare to be a $150 wine. I've generally found the $150 for $30 is from WineAccess generally drinks like a decent 40-50 wine and that's fine with me. You know where it comes from, know what you like, and know the quality. The honest answer is if you can afford to daily drink $150 wines and it really is nothing to your pocketbook, then that's what you should do. I'm not saying that it can't be good, but the more promising the marketing fluff, the more skeptical I am.ĭoes anyone have repeated success with actually buying these $ for $ wines and liking/loving them as much as $150 bottles that you like? I was under the impression that a lot of great wineries won't bottle mediocre/bad wine so, while I might be impressed with what they bottle, why do I care about the wine that doesn't meet their standards? Also, if they're really signing NDAs, which I have no reason to doubt, they typically can't even give us hints that would let a knowledgable person know where the fruit/juice is from. Wine is so subjective that it's easy to give great tasting notes and some seemingly promising, but actually ambiguous, language, even if the wine is just bottled garbage juice. I'm always very skeptical of this kind of house brand juice. And the tasting check from that Instagram woman is all I need to convince me it will be good juice.īut yes, I do think it's inferior grapes or wine and not the same thing those wineries produce! But to say it's "bad" grapes seems absurd. He hedged big time with saying it's prob fine for $35. I think this is a bit of a stretch WA will lose its customers if they sell shitty wine we can all taste in two weeks.
"he says it's almost certainly Harlan and he says it's probably fine for a $35 punt" It's probably Harlan or Screaming Eagle, but the bad grapes from amazing terroir are still way worse than the good grapes from a so-so one" Normally it's anonymous, but some clever marketer has figured out that they can do this exact trick to hint at the producing estate and make big bucks. "It seems like a second label deal, where they sort the fruit into the good stuff that they put in their own wine, and the substandard ones get sold off in bulk. He knows nothing about this wine or this deal but this is what he thinks:
Friend knows someone ITB but a retailer not a winery.
