Not a new purchase, but the last of my 2017 Graham's Stone Terraces pre-orders is finally being delivered this week.

Thanks! I'm tracking the auction now. Will likely exceed my price range for additional bottles with BP included, but who knows maybe I'll get lucky!Eric Menchen wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 9:45 pmSaw these bottles up for auction and thought of you: https://www.winebid.com/BuyWine/Item/74 ... e-Terraces

I'm jealous. K&L won't deliver to NJ.

4 x 2011 Graham's The Stone Terraces
I suspect that I got 4 of the other bottles from the same lot that Mike bought from. I wonder who got that 6th bottle?

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
At that price I should have bought 2.

Well... once you add on 17% for the auction commission the price wasn't that good. Still worth picking up, but hardly a steal.Mike J. W. wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 10:00 amAt that price I should have bought 2.
(I count auction commissions in "price paid" but not sales tax to more fairly compare auction prices with retail prices.)

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
Absolutely. I used to discard shipping in my calculations because I figured it cancelled out with no sales tax. But now that everyone is charging sales tax, I need to revisit this.

Wow, nice find! Though in Boston that's probably just a 15% discount for buying 6, right?

Straight up purchase from someone who owns a chain of liquor stores locally. No sales tax on booze in MA too!
