This could be folded into the other deals thread but GO is really a different breed. So much crap with a few (perceived) diamonds in the rough.
This week. Some nice pricing and interesting bottles found at the Duarte store.
If you are a bargain shopper like me, then post what you find!
I think their semi-annual wine sale is really close as well.
@rjquillin 10/31-11/6. The Napa store is somewhat hit-or-miss. I did find a bunch of Rockus Bockus here.
@rjquillin @winejosh I missed it by a day. Just bought a mixed case yesterday. Grrrrrr.
The two GO have terrible selection. My biggest score was a pair of Bonny Doon Old Telegram for $20/each. Maybe I'll check out during the wine sale.
270 miles to the closest GO from where I live so I guess I will let those diamonds stay in the rough!
Grabbed a couple to try.
@CorTot yea, that was a reject for Casemates. found it muted.
@Winedavid49 based on initial impressions flat seems generous.
@CorTot @Winedavid49 That would be an interesting thread: wines that didn't make the cut for this community.
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 Agreed! however it wont stop me from skimming the bottom.
Some interesting bottles I've found this last week.
Mostly older whites but for the most part by good producers so they should hold up.
@novium Geeze, pick up an extra case if they have one and let me know.
OK, half case will do, storage issues down here.
@rjquillin Ron, my local azusa store had multiple cases out as well. I bet your local store has some. And yes it was quite tasty.
@CorTot Just in yesterday, scouting for the 20% off sale that begins next week. No Raymond, but I did see a couple other bottles I need to check out.
@rjquillin I've seen it but couldn't take the plunge with no info online and a steep price tag for an outlet bottle.
I picked up the Raymond this week that was posted about earlier.
I also found a 2016 Rockwall Wine co Petite Sirah Contra costa county for $10.
Any of these located in the East Bay?
Went to my local store and the best was JanKris. Ugh.
I remember JanKris had a red on wine.woot that was one of the more panned wines to ever appear there but I quite liked their Viognier, FWIW.
@chipgreen @radiolysis Jankris is always available at GO. Usually several different bottling for around $5 each.
And usually on the bottom shelf.
At my GO the best deals are typically found in boxes on the floor. The stuff on the shelf doesn't really move.
