When I saw it I thought it must have been a mistake, or Greysac had started putting out a bargain second line or something. John gave me a few of the details but it was a couple of months ago.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-63107531994292091012010-06-25T15:32:16.005-07:002010-06-25T15:32:16.005-07:00Ben my friend.

They cleared the deck on all of their bordeaux wines in stock.In fact they got out of the wine business all together. The pricing on this wine was unreal and I've been in the business for over 15 years. This was one of the best buys, but there were others that were really crazy in the classified grownths. I agree with you at $11 I'd drink all day!Big Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-5577233486713224362010-06-25T12:14:53.904-07:002010-06-25T12:14:53.904-07:00Anne,

It's not going to be particularly valuable in the future. It's really nice right now, though, so drink up!<br /><br />Thomas,<br /><br />Profit margins on this one were very slim--it was a couple of cases being cleaned out of a warehouse and moved mostly to get them out of the way. I thought it was a good deal in the past when I paid $20. $30 would be steep. :)<br /><br />A lot of clearance wines are a bad bet, because they were never meant to stick around for a few years, or have inferior corks, or were just bad wines that never moved off the shelf. This was a rare confluence of positives.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-72480158188507918432010-06-25T05:51:54.664-07:002010-06-25T05:51:54.664-07:00At $11 it's practically robbery?
Benito, have...At $11 it's practically robbery?<br /><br />Benito, have you considered the possibility that the original asking price may have been the robbery? ;)Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-91135750186753162202010-06-25T03:59:48.912-07:002010-06-25T03:59:48.912-07:00that is a good deal, i have tried this wine before...that is a good deal, i have tried this wine before and it was a good one.
