They will list nearly everything they have for sale on their website. The only exception will be their 50% bin.<BR/><BR/>The Selyem, and all the other wines from the 50% bin, are supposed to be from the distributors who had a case or less of particular wines. Maybe there was one spare bottle of the Selyem kicking around that could not be sold for one reason or another. It was the only one in the bins.Richard Auffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03948647697847819742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2405633513402883204.post-31928133784063612002008-05-10T18:19:00.000-04:002008-05-10T18:19:00.000-04:00This store makes me curious.

But distributors often get touchy about selling certain wines to a retailer if they know that a store will be discounting them, so I only wonder whether this is sustainable in terms of sourcing great product. I'll be interested to hear about future visits.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the Printemps is a rosé from Copain, so it's a terrific producer. I can figure out how they got an 06 since the new vintage is coming out, but I can't for the life of me figure out where they sourced the Williams Selyem from, as that's highly controlled and goes almost exclusively to mailing list customers. I'm guessing it's a loss leader from a personal cellar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
