XBGuy Posted August 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Seems like a good idea, I know a Rombauer Chardonnay drinker who would ask if there were discounts for multiple bottle purchases. 😁 Yes, she likes super oaky butter bombs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Phelps cab was pretty good. Tonight some Ornellaia the manager recommends. The etude pinot was good too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I opened a 2014 Phlelps CS just a couple days ago. I acquired it fairly recently, and it had a sketchy storage history, but it turned out to be darned good.

Haven't had it before, but a friend/manager onboard suggested and I said sure, lets try it at Crown Grill tonight. You apparently approve of this wine?

Rare Cruise Raider Posted August 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Being a lover of Chardonnay, I’d snag a bottle of Rombauer and a bottle of Hartford for those prices. The Silver Oak cab and Jospeh Phelps cab are also very good wines at twice the price of the Chardonnays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrnelIaia will pair nicely with much of the Crown Grill fare. I like most Super Tuscans, but. being a Social Security pensioner, I generally go for Luce della Vite or Tignanello on the various Princess wine lists since they are not quite as spendy as Ornellaia. Actually, a couple other Super Tuscans I have had on Princess that are both quite good and are even less expensive are Il Borro and Ornellaia Le Serre Nuove (second label of Ornellaia).

RicoRoxy Posted August 14, 2023 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Forgive my naivety, but to the extent that anyone can answer, please do so: 1. Is this a random sale due to overstock onboard (to the extent you know or asked)? 2. If someone has Plus or Premier, is there a further discount from the discounted bottle? 3. Is this for immediate consumption or take home (assume consumption, but just asking). Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
