2007 ESJ That Old Black Magic

[Jay Miller]

Soft, seductive, elegant and complex.

Magical wine, though I am confused that it was neither old nor black.

 

[David M. Bueker]

Agree - amazing wine. I wish I had bought three cases instead of three bottles.

 

[Rahsaan]

Yes, fun stuff. I thought it would be there for my purchasing pleasure every time I walked into Chambers. Until it wasn't.

Apparently other people had the same idea that I did.

Union Square has it right now.

Do those guys still have their totally nuts pricing? (40% case discount, IIRC)

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

20% for a case, last I looked; they had a sale an anniversary sale over the summer at 30%. IIRC, they had some interesting MSR sale pricing (independently of the anniversary sale).

I just remember their bottle prices as being for suckers, but it's true that I haven't been back in years, mostly on that account.

 

[Steve Edmunds]

So how much are they charging?

The pricing isn't great; made me think of Zachy's - sales pricing brings them to about where the rest of the market is normally. Like I said, some of the Germans that were on sale were well-priced, but I was looking a few months ago. At 30% discount/dozen, one or two wines were interesting because of their availability - I bought a little 01 Trimbach CFE.
