It's so choice... if you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up.

[stoney321]

This is one for the record books, hence me recording it.

I just bought this wine, this vintage, this everything for...

wait for it...

....


...wait for it..... $23.99 per bottle. I bought every single bottle they had. Did I feel like correcting their pricing? No. Do I feel the slightest bit guilty? Absolutely not. One woman was holding a bottle from 1999 in her mitts because "the label was pretty" and I almost leg wrassled her to the ground to wrench it away from her. I think I showed extraordinary restraint, all things considered.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Guess what we're popping open if I sell my book? DUDE. I thought I was high tone drinking the 2004 vintage. LIFE IS FINE, MY FRIENDS.

oh my god, congratulations!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

GOOD LORD. They're currently being squirreled away in my closet so someone doesn't accidentally open it up.

!!! I'm tempted to go to every branch of this shop and buy them all out...

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, grats I guess. :-) Hope you enjoy them!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

They're normally $600 a piece. I got it for $24. That's insane!

[soundingsea.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Was the store, like, on crack? Their loss. Good golly, Miss Stoney!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I kept double checking with their wine guy, he was saying, I know, I know, that's what they've been priced at.

!!!

It's such a delicious bottle, well, I assume. I've not been able to afford this vintage! I've had the 2004, which was one of the best wines I've ever had.

[mumsisdaughter]

I can't believe it! Amazing! Not just the wine (well done, girl) but I think I'm the first to comment on one of your posts. :)

[mumsisdaughter]

Rats! Nearly first!

[stephanierb.livejournal.com]

My goodness, that's some price mistake. I can't believe they didn't notice when ringing it up. Serves them right for not knowing their own product.

Enjoy!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

No, it wasn't a mistake, that's the craziest thing! They had the price ADVERTISED. I asked them multiple times if that was correct, and then just made out like a bandit.

[a-mistletoe.livejournal.com]

It's the recession. They're doing 'Let them eat cake' for the 21st century. Fools. Off with their heads!¬)

Or Obama is Jesus and you've got Vichy water miracleised. (new word)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I guess! Whatever the answer is, I don't care because I have a fancy wine cellar now! :D

[drusplace.livejournal.com]

Holy freakin crap...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I.
KNOW.

I'm still pinching myself!

[secondalto.livejournal.com]

WOW.

That is seriously awesome. I applaud you.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's ASTOUNDING. I'm walking around holding one bottle, thinking it's going to vaporize, LOL!

[dwivian]

AIIIIIIIGH!

GO FIND EVERY OTHER LOCATION! BUY ALL THE BOTTLES! I'LL PAY SHIPPING AND INS FOR HALF A CASE!

WOW!!!!

(not kidding, at all!)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

If I hadn't bought all the stores right by me out, I would! (I gave the wine girl my number and told her to call me IMMEDIATELY if another shipment comes in. She said they sometimes get a 1999 vintage and sell it for FORTY SEVEN. Oh my god... I'll totally hook you and L up if she comes through.)

[copykween.livejournal.com]

Score! I, of course, have never had this, but at that price, I'll certainly check around LOL.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I've never had it either, as it's normally 600+!! If you can find it, grab all you can! :D

[lawperry.livejournal.com]

::::awed silence::::

I honestly have no idea what to say!

Dayum!!!!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's finally getting through - I made out like a bandit. I'm walking about with my mouth agape, no lie.

[rainkatt.livejournal.com]

WOW. Wow wow wow.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I almost took the wine person at the second store by the shoulders to emphasize how they MUST CALL ME when the next shipment arrives.

[tricksterquinn.livejournal.com]

Dude. That's pretty damned impressive.

Their wine guy must just be throwing his hands up.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

They told me they're trying to show that they have good selections.

UH, I'M A BELIEVER.

[lolz.livejournal.com]

Oh my dearest Lord. That is by far the BEST deal I have ever seen in my life.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

It's like, I would have been this excited if I bought an engine block for that kind of deal, you know?? :D

[huzzlewhat.livejournal.com]

holy crap.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. I can't do small letters yet, I'm all capslocky in my head!!

[lawperry.livejournal.com]

How many fricking bottles of this stuff did you get??? I mean... a 30 bottle investment would be $18,000 worth of wine for $720...

Plus insurance. And the wine safe.

Wish I could have bought my car for that...

:::total awe:::

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Note that the price on that link is for 12 - not, per. (But still!!)

I got four bottles, two at one of their shops, and two at the other. The third shop was sold out (I bet!)

Each store has my phone number and name and CAPS LOCK: CALL ME when this comes back in, any vintage, zomg.

[diachrony.livejournal.com]

Dude. My jaw literally dropped open and I stopped breathing when I saw what a bargain you got!!

I'd be jealous except I can't drink wine, it makes me really ill, so instead of jealous I'm just happy for you.

ENJOY.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I shall enjoy, thank you! <3

[gillo]

Bloody hell.

Congratulations. If they don't recognise what they've got, you owe it to the wine to give it a better home.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHA, oh my goodness, this is the best response EVER. I *do* owe it to the blessed wine! <3 <3 <3

[jazzqueen.livejournal.com]

Holy crap!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!

[lynnenne]

OH MY HOLY CRAP, STONEY!! I tried to get it here and I couldn't even FIND it! Save me a glass for my next trip to Dallas, PLEASE!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I WILL. KI will totally uncork a bottle just for you when you come, and we will celebrate with a wild rumpus and also some fine cheeses and crackers!

[irreparable.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD! *jellis* That is...my wine snob self is speechless with awe and envy!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I love the comment earlier that said I owed it to the wine to snatch it away from those senseless purveyors.

I couldn't agree more!

[dusty273.livejournal.com]

Whoa! *blinks* That's a great deal! Congrats, sweetie!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Maybe the best deal I've ever gotten on anything EVER. \o/

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

I would totally start drinking again for that. Well, especially since one of my main reasons for not drinking is that I can't stand my in law's taste in wine/beer.

Salut!


(I swear I did not mean that in a Hee Haw kind of way.)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You know, I never thought I liked wine until I was served GOOD wine. Then I went, "Hey. This stuff is delicious! And the food pairing DOES make everything better, huh!"

Now I am standing about with my hands on hips, feeling like a Big Girl. :D

[beanbeans.livejournal.com]

Dude! That is the score of the century! Congrats!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. What a steal!!

[denelian.livejournal.com]

oh.... that is very like finding an ORIGINAL painting or recording and having it be sold for tweny bucks.

that is amazing! i mean, it would be like if i found a signed first edition of Starship Troopers at a bookstore and they just charged me the cover price!

wow you!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YES YES YES! That's what it is, and I'm still astounded that they could let it go WILLINGLY at that ridiculous price! (And that they'll call me when MORE comes in! DUDE.)
