I just got my first offer for Carlisle. Haven't decided what to try, though I do like Zin.

back up the truck

I wasn't expecting Carlisle today.


Neither was I. Finally a QPR offer instead of a budget buster! Nice, considering the budget is already blown.

I received my first Rhys offer today and will probably have to skip it due to funding deficiencies.

How much Rhys I can afford depends on my Berserkerday preview next Mon.

I do confess however that I did go much lighter than last year. Now Rhys and Beserker day coming up. Who knows what Nikki will have in store?

Since I'm already buying lots of LF I will probably pass on Nikki's offering. In fact I'm seriously considering buying only steak, olive oil and canned fish.

I'll only bite if there are some good backfills available.

They are ridiculously tasty.. really the best there is outside of Waygu quality.
Sadly, they are also outrageously expensive (for me)..

if the prices are reasonable, i'm in.

My sympathies, Eileen! Now you're really hosed! Good buys so far, but there's much more where that came from!

Gulp - Just researched on CT. Looks like ~$400 each, and would need to age 8-30 years.
It's probably best to never get off the wait list.
I do not need to develop a taste for this one.

It's extraordinarily good.
I think it's $250 on the list and it will NOT age 30 years IMO. 8-10 would put it in a great sweet spot. Maybe drycab will render an opinion.

Good, cause I'll probably last 10, but not 30.
Whether I'll remember I have a wine to drink in 10 - that's a different question.

Yes, it's 250 on the list (or at least it was last year!).

Now I need to consider getting a wine storage unit down in Washington so that I can bring my purchases up four bottles at a time to avoid the taxes...
