Nice price, but I'll likely be dead by the time it's fully mature.

I will hopefully be on the verge of retirement.

2014 Graham LBV. Just ok.

Thanks everyone. I will do some searching!

Looking for some advice for these vintages, all 3 are special years for me. What producers? Anything to watch out for?

This is still available, albeit 6 less bottles.

Seemed like plenty available. Thanks!!

How do you guys typically purchase? Retail? Distributor? Auction? Direct?

2x 2011 Sandeman VP

Random find in a liquor store.

I will tell you the full story. Longstanding local wine store, pretty decent size. I'm not a big customer of theirs (I historically don't buy a lot of wine) but have been on their mailing list for ~8 years or so. One of their weekly emails hits my inbox - 2017 Croft VP (750ml) for $30. I buy 6 immed...

Yea they are 750ml. I got 6 2016 750ml Croft VP for $30 each too. This was two weeks ago. Both with owc.

I wonder if a distributor had a bunch to get rid of?

This was from a very reputable local wine shop too.

I picked a 6er of 2017 up for $33 ea locally…

Vintage Wine and Port has the 1985 for 75 pounds if you’re over there.

2008 Warre LBV for $22.99

Taylor 10 Tawny (2020 bottling) $24.99

I also picked up a 2008 Warre's LBV....think I paid closer to $26 though.

I'm trying to understand the mechanics of this, seeing as I live in Wisconsin.

The Skinner FAQ site basically says it's up to the buyer to arrange shipping outside of the local Boston area, but doesn't give any suggestions. Does anyone have any experience with shipping wines from here?
