The name is in the official list of house names (abbreviation Gd), but I don’t think we have any declarations. Useful. If you buy the bottle please post a good photograph of the label(s).

OK, this is very relevant! I am about to send JJ BUckley monies for last night's auction and would have tacked on this '77. Thoughts? Shall I pursue it? There's space in the case.

FYI - Gould Campbell 1980 -- $35
still some left at The Chicago Wine Company. For those who put in orders with me, orders have been fulfilled

I picked up more than I planned, but it's for the best I think.
Update: Cases have arrived. A mistake may have been made in TBird's favor (TBD)

If you are a WS member in the UK and you don't already have a pile of Vesuvio boxes to admire the WS have an reasonable offer on a mixed 6 pack (1997/98/99/00/04/05) for GBP150.

Benchmark Wine’s pricing can be a bit random (I have bought when on the cheaper side). Write to them telling them of the mis-price.

Didn't Warre's 63 just go for 130 and Warres 85 just go for 47 at auction?

Sure. Auctions are cheaper than retail.

Yes, I've been in email contact with them since last week when I first saw this on their website. They just sent me pics today and I pointed out this is their basic dry white and that is was a pricing mistake. I'm sure it will be corrected in the near future.

Gads that seems high... though since I normally can't find it, I suppose I can't complain.

The last two of the 1957 Rocha that I purchased, though - one from my local QFC (Quality Food Center - a grocery store chain) - were $251 and $252. Is the Kopke really worth an extra $111 per bottle?

Yah, sometimes the prices over there seem very good. This was not such a time

Not that it matters. I mustn't buy more port!

Andy Velebil · Post by **Andy Velebil** » 13:51 Thu 02 Apr 2009

Agree, Benchmark either has really good prices or IMHO prices that are higher than normal retail...so buy wisely there. I would be interested to find out how they come up with prices.

UPDATE: Got an email back from them today that stated they would be the first to be repriced when the time came. Kinda vauge IMO and seeing that no one has bought them so far (they originally only had 11 listed on their site, which is still the case) now would be a good time to reprice and try and sell them.

I've had some of their "Ruby Select Reserve" which seemed to be a reasonable ruby. I'm not sure if it's the same wine as this or not. For what it's worth, I've noticed that Tesco quite often discount their main reserve ruby by 50% or do a buy-one-get-one-free deal on it.

Perhaps I should have added that I did not buy any, but that is not to say that it is undrinkable. Perhaps you could volunteer to try one for the team and be the first to post a TN?

While walking the streets of NYC we stumbled across Chambers Street Wines. A very nice store with a small port collection, but some nice old bottles. They had a full case of Warre 1970 for $125 a bottle. We bought one, so eleven remaining for those interested. There was also Warre 1977, Graham 1977 and 1975, see the website for prices.

For those interested in Vouvray, they also had a fantastic selection of Huet, both old and young and both sweet and dry.

It might be worth noting that they indulge in the particularly annoying practice of not including all taxes in their advertised prices (which may be unlawful under s.4 Price Marking Order 2004). Expect a 15% uplift on the final price.

(Please feel free to ignore the following:

Far too many wine merchants indulge in this and it’s entirely inexcusable. Full prices should be clear and unambiguous, especially when they are not selling anything in bond and there’s no question that the purchaser will be a consumer.)

Coming up for sale on winestilsoldout.com: Taylor Fladgate Vargellas 2005. price $48.

Edit: What a joke. The "Best web price yesterday" is listed as $60. I am RIGHT NOW looking at someone else selling it for $33.
Edit: And... its gone. Was up for maybe 5 mins. Some people buy anything just because they like the idea of the event -- like the people who get too emotional and overbid at auctions.
