For those of you that might not know, one of my favorite flash sites, Last Bottle, is currently having a sale/blowout/extravaganza kind of thing. They have great customer service and free shipping (usually with a minimal order, but today, everything ships free!).
So go check it out and scoop up some good deals!
Use this link:
I am not receiving any promotional incentives from them, but if you use the above link and buy something, they will give me $20 credit towards my next purchase.
Cheers!

You should be receiving your $20 for inviting me shortly. I just placed my first orders…:)

Stuff here and there, mostly on the cheaper end: Castellroig Negre Ull de Llebre 2007, Argyle Pinot Noir 2011, Coume del mas Quadratur Collioure 2005, Janasse VDP Terre de Bussiere 2007, Marquis Phillips Gramercy Tavern Riesling 2008.
Most excited about Capaia Philadelphia 2006 from South Africa. 🙂
The threshold to free shipping is usually too high for my taste on their website, so I held back until this event. And it was totally worth it. Thanks again for making me aware of it!

Sounds good! Let me know what you think of the Argyle. Not a blockbuster, but a solid everyday Pinot. If you like it, I will hook you up with “my guy” who can get it to you at about $12-13/bottle (by the case).

Excellent job, Jeff! I was thinking how to inform people about the great event – and you just did it!

I got a total of 8 bottles. What I like the most in their Madness event is that you can buy in single bottles and the shipping is free. So I think I got total of 6 wines to try, two of them with double-bottles, all inexpensive stuff.

Yeah, the shipping thing is great. For me that is the key to a good online site–good prices, cheap shipping.

Please excuse my old brain, but I only see the opportunity to purchase 1 item on last bottle. I don’t get it.

Yeah, I should have made it more clear. It is a flash site–they sell one item at a time until it is gone and then they sell another.

Jeff,
I had subscribed to Last Bottle for months, but only seemed to find wines that are really big, ripe, modern monsters. Have you found more balanced wines? Am I missing something?

I never really noticed, but I would guess that I am interested in about 10-20% of their offers. I have picked up some good Pinot, some Champagne, and various other European stuff (Sancerre, German Riesling, and some nice Spanish red). Certainly more miss than hit, but they have good customer service and seem to be nice people so that goes a long way with me.
