Well, these should be nice in Spring / Summer 2025
Picked up a couple of the old-vintage TWS Assyrtiko while they were back on sales at the reduced price, plus a few bottles of assorted Beaujolais to make up a half case and more importantly fill a gap in the cellar:
Ideally I’d like to stick some age-worthy Beaujolais into reserves, so the M-a-V and Morgon are trials for potential re-purchase (if there are any left)!
Quite a big order which should tithe us over until the end of summer. pretty eclectic mix with a few themes appearing, and I’m looking forward to the Gobelsburg GVs.
A box of red and a box of white (the Langhe Nebbiolo is for my dad) ordered today
I look forward to welcoming them to my home.
Seems like a good deal from TWS, especially considering the 2021 EP. Could also be that I got the last case here…
There’s been a huge drop of fine wines on the website this morning, nearly all of which are already sold out.
This one is still available though

Bargain.
Yeah, we had that at the press tasting. It was OK, I guess.
Always annoys me when they dont sell things in full cases of 12
The BiB range now available in another format

That’s cool. Probably makes a good ice pack for BBQs if 2/3 refilled with water.
A couple of recent orders to top up on a bit of everyday white and red over the summer, based on some enjoyable recent tastings, and some new tries.

Couldn’t resist putting a mini vertical of these into reserves, where they will no doubt stay for a few years…
Had the ‘17 previously and thought it was excellent.
Have 6 of the ‘22 I bought EP as well.
Arrived back from USA trip with this 21-bottle booty which ToH and I managed to get into our checked-in luggage with no casualties.
Souvenirs from Texas High Plains, Texas Hill Country - (viniferas) -, Arkansas, Missouri and Minnesota (Norton, Enchantment and Marquette hybrids) … (2 repeats not shown). All the pain was worthwhile.
What’s your packing tactic? 21 bottles with no breakages sounds pretty good going.
