An attractive deal on 08 Yiron (NJ)

[Lior Yogev]

Often wine-searcher lowest prices are just a marketing trick, but this one is for real - I just got three bottles (arrived in 24hr even though I paid for the cheapest delivery options, way to go!)

(Now that I think of it perhaps the prices are so low because of shmita)

18.95$/btl, which is less than anything I know in Israel. 14$ ground delivery, 0.85$ insurance (optional).

Can anyone share other online stores with a selection Israeli wine that ship to CT ?

Thanks
Lior

I would not be surprised if the sale becomes more widely accessible. Last spring/summer there was a big "dump" of 2007 Yiron --- they seemed not to be moving in Israel in sufficient quantities, so they were sold here at a price comparable to the one you quoted, maybe even two/three dollars cheaper.

It was $12/bottle, and even $19 is less than wholesale price in Israel...

Gabriel, there are still stores in Israel that sell it for 80 NIS so perhaps you need to renegotiate your understanding with their agent

Lior, you're partially correct but it's far more complicated than that... Also one of the many reasons I prefer working with the boutique wineries.

Where in the world did you see Yiron for $12 a bottle???

[Yehoshua Werth]

This one will be more available because of Shmitta

and the place that sold that ...Well heard words after... Crazy...

People found @ $19.99 it is great!

What a deal now the prices are raised yet still @ $23 it is a wonder-full wine.

Wow! Can't believe I missed that deal. My cellartracker tells me I purchased some '07 Yiron in september, 2011 at $15/bottle, but had I known about this, I'd have stocked up!!!
Anyhow, I haven't tasted the '08 but the '09 is delicious as always. And unlike some of you, I've always preferred my Yiron on the younger side. I love the fruit-forward kick it gives, which kind of fades as it ages. For a more balanced wine, there are better choices out there to cellar--such as the Yarden CS.

The 2008 Yiron is easily available in Chicago through Binny's and at the Jewel/Osco supermarket on Howard St. Price at both is usually $21-25, sometimes on sale for less.
