Never heart about wine.com, but it sounds amazing to have the opportunity to get wines you cant find on the market. I can actually see that our liquor store (wine monopoly) in Norway (vinmonopolet.no) actually had this wine. But we are so lucky here in Norway that our liquor store is kind of well known by producers. It's kind of an honor if the producers got their wine into vinmonopolet😅
I can't buy this one anymore from vinmonopolet, but from the description it sounds amazing!
I am going to remember the year 2019, because next year are me and friends going to USA. Hoping to try out lots of wines from USA! :D
Oh nice! Yeah if you can ever buy it, I highly recommend it. And that does say a lot about your wine store. Another thing about allocation wines, is they also go to resteraunts, but of course high end wine shops, but with a mark up right lol. Even wine.com has a higher mark up.
There is a winery called Kosta Brown that I waited about 2 years to buy the entry level offerings, and those cost 69$ from them, plus shipping, The after market value of those wines where 115$, and up, depending on what the critics said. Their single vineyard bottling's required 5 years of waiting, but to be on the mailing list still, you had to buy your allocation, or you lost it. The demand some of these wines have are crazy!
I will remember the name and see if some restaurants have it on their wine meny. It is so much fun to see special wines on the wine meny!
Thats awesome! :D
