WTN: 2003 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon

[Jenise]

So I couldn't wait to get into a bottle of 2003 Laurel Glen which, though it typically sells for upwards of $60 bucks, I got a whole case of for $15 each. And boy am I happy about it: Excellent black and red fruit, spot-on cabernet flavors, grippy tannins--it's all there. Quite dry, I poured it along with two Bordeaux and it didn't show 'sweet' or California-flashy, it should age nicely though I may have some trouble keeping my hands off of it in the near term. Great buy!

Jenise- was that a local or online purchase ? Like most Cab lovers, I'm always searching for QPR. Thanks !

CHEERS!

Local--a distributor went out of business and I'm a friend of friend of a retailer who bought a big part of his stock.

Wow! That's a hell of a deal, Jenise. Congrats on scoring that.

Yes, I was very lucky. Also got a case of a splendid Sicilian EVOO for $8/bottle about a week after Garagiste sold it for $25. Great deals, and I was very happy with them until I found out that this same distributor also had great burgs and other things available, which I could have had for basically 25 cents on the dollar. Oh well--perhaps they did me a favor. With the remodelling we're doing, I didn't need to be buying a lot right now.
