Following Wines Til Sold Out: October’s Full-On Marathon
121 wines (if my count is correct) during 18 hours, lots of 90+ wines, including 95-99 rated, great names (Joseph Phelps, Dominus, Antinori Solaia, Tattinger and many others) – “wow” is the only descriptor I can use here. Some (quite a few) of the wines lasted only 3 minutes – “you snooze, you lose” was in the full effect.
The event took place on Tuesday, October 2nd. As before, I did my best to collect the data, which is always challenging. Below is the table containing all (hopefully) wines offered during the event.
Guide to ratings: WS – Wine Spectator, WA – Wine Advocate, WE – Wine Enthusiast, W&S – Wine & Spirits, ST – Steven Tanzer, JHN – Jonathan H. Newman, WRO – Wine Review Online, RP – Robert Parker, JS – James Suckling, BH – Bourghound, IWC – International Wine Cellars, CG – Consumer Guide, IWR -International Wine Review, TWN – The Wine News.
Enjoy!

Nice chart! Seems to be rather expensive wines!
it was a full range – there were quite a few wines under $20 ( even a few at $15), and there were a few wines costing more than $60 – but in the end of the day, most of the wines were a great value, I think this is what is important.
Nice chart! Seems to be rather expensive wines!
WOW I am impressed by your dedication and hard work. I see a couple I missed that I would have liked to get. I too thought the wines were a bit high or better yet expected bigger discounts on some. After reviewing your numbers I see where % discounts are actually all pretty high themselves. I must be getting cheap in my old age 🙂
Seriously though thanks for the list. It is good to see what was offered and what I missed.
Regards.
Thank you for your kind words! I have a more or less a system in place now, so while it is definitely a laborious process, it is still doable.
A number of wines were definitely on the high side, but then in the end of the day it is all about the value. As far as I remember, WTSO even offered Chateau Petrus at a lot better price than you can get it anywhere ( no, I didn’t buy it : ) )
Did you buy anything?
nope. I was on my way to Texas on that day, so I didn’t have much opportunity. Besides, I’m trying to obey my SIWBM…
