Mariage Parfait is lovely stuff

Colorado got a drop of Black Label and Mariage Parfait yesterday. Opened one of each. Lovely stuff indeed. Those and Black Label Girardin are probably the best gueuze I've picked up off the shelf around here. (Not much hits the shelf around here).

Not that I'm aware of. I wish it had though, because I'd have way more than the 5 bottles I currently have.

Lots of it on Etre at €18 and it´s reasonably easy to get in Europe. Unlimited bottles onsite at Lindemans too, and their tour is really worth doing if you happen to be in Belgium.

Yeah I can definitely get more in BE this summer but there always seem to be other bottles taking priority with limited space. I'm hoping to swing by Lindemans again though when I'm there.

16/17 Tilquins (gueuze, Quetsche, both Alsace and Namur, and Mûre) to be palletized and on their way stateside very soon...

 

[BadJustin]

Not sure if it's been covered but Vat 109 is stateside. Told my local to keep an eye out for it. I'll have a case on Wednesday.

I've been hoping it would be. I've see a couple of the other Vats around here, and after all the good things I've heard about 109 I've been keeping my eye out.

Checking in on one of my favorites. Heavy green apple tartness, faint lemon that pairs well with Boon's signature mineral funk. Hoping this one continues to age gracefully.

My recent haul. First international trade. Been neglecting lambic. Stupid me. Solo domed Lam and Vig the last the last two nights. This gon be expensive.

Intense Red has such a terrible label, looks like energy drink packaging, why? Was it meant just for US markets or something and they assume we like that crap?

I've always wondered this as well.

I'd recommend using a box.

Only Antwerp, but if you go to 3F you can buy a bunch of 3F bottles there and they'll send it on to BiaB for you to get it shipped.

Bit more research looks like Bpost is probably the best option. Just need to figure out how to get a box to pack stuff up in to ship it out. Or just saw screw it, enjoy my time there, and not worry about getting bottles.

 

[skrip]

don't they sell shippers at Cantillon?

 

[Dbijnagte]

They sell 3 bottle shippers at Cantillon as well as luggage Wine shippers.

Order online from Lazenne to your hotel room - LuxWanderer may be able to hook up a discount code for you. In addition to the Cantillon branded wine checks, they sell Styron shippers in 6/12s.
A 6 shipper from them with 5x75s and 1x37.5 will be around €40 to ship to the US - you may want to wrap their boxes in brown paper though as they have pictures of wine bottles on (it's not subtle).

My man... thanks for the help. Will look into that.

What kind of shippers are these? Just boxes? Styrofoam? Both?
