2000 Fonseca - $40 - Buy or Not?

[Moses Botbol]

Would you buy 2000 Fonseca Vintage for $40.00 a bottle if offered? No official offer yet, but I want to know if worth the hassle. Has anyone bought it cheaper than that in USA?

[Derek T.]

Current UK price for this is the equivalent of $60 including tax so $40 looks like an excellent deal. I haven't had this for a couple of years but the last few times I tasted it it was a brute of a wine that will take another couple of decades to mature. Worth the investment in my book

[Eric Menchen]

I've been thinking of buying some at $65. $40 would be a steal.

[Moses Botbol]

A store had it on their list for $50, so I figured 20% off on a case? If there are any Boston-area members that would like to go in on this, please let me know. I first have to see if they have it, how many bottles they have, and if they are interested in giving me a discount. If they don't give a discount, but have plenty of stock, I'll announce their store for all of you to swarm on at $50.

Moses,

Just grab the full case, are you kidding?

Geez, one of the greatest of the 2000 VPs. In 30 years when you are in your later stages of life and this is selling for $400 a bottle, you'll have a fun tale to tell. Along with the Niepoort this was my 2nd favorite of the 2000 vintage. So, duh ... is $40 worth it?

Was this you just shilling for that store yet-to-be mentioned? Of course you know I am joking but hey, after you grab yours, you really should share with others here who don't own this blue chip.

[Glenn E.]

I'd buy it at $40 and I don't have any storage space for it! That's a fantastic deal.

I haven't contacted them about their stock yet. Could be a mistake as their other vintages seemed realistic. I know $40 is a joke, but they had them listed at $50 which is not bad either I guess...

Stay tuned for details.

[Andy Velebil]

let me know if they ship to cali for that price!

[Al B.]

So what happened Moses?

[Roy Hersh]

He bought the remaining 9 cases and there's none left for anyone else!

[Moses Botbol]

Actually this totally slipped my mind and have to figure out where I saw this deal to start off with.

If I can remember find the store and they have it, I will post as I doubt I will buy any right now.
