Follow-up on Diamond Creek and Leeuwin at Cascadia, elsewhere
As I was reading the lengthy wine list at Cascadia last night, I noticed several bottles of Diamond Creek. The youngest bottle seemed to be 1999, if I remember correctly (I may not at this point). I do recall the prices, though: $275 and $285 seemed to be the two prices for all of the different Diamond Creek wines. Ouch!
I have received word that my own bottle of Diamond Creek is on its way via FedEx as I type. It’s due for delivery upon “adult signature” tomorrow. Yeehaw!!
On a separate note, I searched the Internet for the Leeuwin Art Series Riesling since it was such a delicious wine. I came up with an interesting hit: Flickinger Fine Wines in Chicago. It seems that the average price for this particular wine is about $20+ per bottle. Flickinger has 138 bottles in stock, all of the 2003 vintage, and all at $10.50/bottle! Impressive. I’ll be visiting Chicago next month, so perhaps I need to visit this store and pick up a few bottles…or I could just get them shipped to me, I suppose. However, I’m out of space again in my tiny home wine fridge. Once I get this Diamond Creek, I’ll need to withdraw at least one other bottle to make space…and then the Louise will arrive in a couple of weeks too…wow, I’m suddenly strapped for space. I guess this great deal on Leeuwin will just need to wait.
