Anyone here using that site to purchase wine? I've found myself bidding on some older gems from the last 4 auctions and was curious as to your results. I have not bid on any wine that was stored passively. I have catpured about 20 bottles of older vintages that were stored in temperature controlled surroundings. I opened my first 3 bottles this weekend and to my joy, not a dud.'66 Haut Brion: The runaway winner for the weekend. A delight that believe it or not, still had plenty of ripe fruit shinning thru. I paid $155.
'79 Mouton-Rothschild: Delicious, though a bit too perfumey for me. My friends preferered the Mouton to the Brion as a side not. I won this bottle for a measley $90.
'86 Spotteswoode Cab: Drinking perfectly right now. Seems to be right at its prime. I paid $80, and because it was so delicious I got another '86 in the auction that ended yesterday, though I had to pay up to $95 to win in the subsequent auction.
Anyone have any horror stories from winebid? I'd love to hear them before I get too addicted to it. Lee
