  1. Question: Do people who sell wine in retail stores get industry discount?
  2. @FabOCGirl Either or! Sign me up..
  3. Kind of craving a burger for some reason. Or sushi. Weirdly disparate tastes today.
  4. @NWwines Sour grapes :)
  5. @destinydd Looks quite nice! :)
  6. @sethmlong Yea I'll echo @clivity, it was a mystery, we had no idea what we were buying and mainly bought off the Garagiste reputation
  7. @NWTomLee But @clivity 's point is valid, people buy into different models. Some buy wine from Costco-models, some from Garagiste-models..
  8. @cliffordbrown3 I'd love to see more of those offers come along :)
  9. @clivity agreed, and I usually only buy 1-2 bottles, so I hedge my risk against similar things happening in the future. @NWTomLee
  10. @ZTypeAlpha Lol well..I wish was smart enough to explain the differences to you cause I think it's something everyone can pick up on
  11. @NWTomLee Totally get ya, it's all good. I don't buy futures for that reason, hate seeing my money tied up for year(s).
  12. RT @VinoKeno: @UCBeau @BeckyBoo503 yes. Zweigelt Rose kicks the ass. -- well..maybe @Urban_Decanter will carry one soon :-D
  13. @NWTomLee So you've just had bad experiences with his choices? For me, the dois irmaos was pretty much the only bad wine from him @clivity
  14. @VinoKeno I'm gonna see if @BeckyBoo503 can get some into her shop :-D
  15. RT @NWTomLee: @clivity @UCBeau I'm amazed people still buy into the Garagiste business model. - not a fan I take it?
  16. @sethmlong Apparently they sent samples to a local lab, which is where the friend of a friend saw it and was worried. @clivity
  17. @sethmlong I think that was made at 12th & Maple? Not sure, but a friend of a friend was adamant about avoiding the Dois Irmaos @clivity
  18. @clivity I don't think anyone would blame you. And if someone who didn't have your palate tasted it, they'd also be pretty bummed.
  19. @BeauCharles Actually this one: bit.ly/LQQ41Z from Ramey Winery, Larkmead vyd fruit. @clivity
  20. @clivity But I see the parallels to my post, imagine someone being sold that, at what point do we stay "enough, this is clearly bad wine"?
