Usually very good selection and prices. I have used them before. You'll need to call about shipping rates for Canada. In general, the more bottles the cheaper the shipping for bottle will be.

Thanks, but takes 2-3 days to ship out. Was hoping for a local shop, even if I'd have to call in

Call    (516) 374-9463 and (516) 371-1133

Chateau de Vin and Rockaway liquor warehouse. Ask if they ship. They both certainly carry stuff in the $300 range.

Try yarden cab 09

This should probably be its own thread. I like:

Shiloh Secret Reserve (~$35)
Yatir Cabernet (~$40)
Psagot M-Series (~$40)

I bought:

Psagot Merlot 2011 ($25)
Capcanes Peraj Petita ($20)


Psagot was OK. Not sure I'd necessarily do it again.

For that price range, try Herzog Variations 3, 4, 5. I prefer the 5. They combine grapes from 3/4/5 different vineyards, so there's a bunch of flavors in one bottle.

Could you elaborate on which ones?


Best reviews I am seeing is for the Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 ($18.99) and Single Vinyeard Dishon Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 ($33.99 > bit expensive)

Both are very good I used to buy the 2009 SR and I would put ot in the $40 price-range. In Israel I buy the Dishon because it's 80 Shekel($22)

So it seems that Singleton Scotch (recommended in this thread) was discontinued over a year ago.
Anyone know where I can pick up a bottle in the NY area?

-0.5 they sometimes run out until next year's batch is ready.

ETA: I spoke to 2 owners of wine stores in Monsey a couple of months ago and both said its still around. Though it's possible that things have changed. Will try to find out more info.

I already checked with Chateu de Vin and had placed an online order for it, but he said it's discontinued and can't get it.

Just called again. He called a few of his friends/contemporaries and had bad news. Sorry.

Just a tip since I know you guys like to save money. You really only taste the first few shots. To save money, start drinking something fancy, but then switch to a 5 dollar a liter bottle of Old Crow to finish.

Are you assuming we drink a whole bottle in one sitting?
Getting in the Purim spirit are we?
