Can't remember. I've been focusing on drinking down my wines to clear out space and haven't bought anything since early/mid November, if not October.

If I can trust my spreadsheet (which is sort of iffy), it was about a dozen assorted bottles from 3 wine club shipments that I picked up at the wineries in early November.

On Christmas Eve-

1 x Champagne Rosé Tarlant
1 x Champagne Blanc de Blancs Lallier
2 x Cour Cheverny Laura Semeria
1 x Trousseau Ganevat

Organic/ biodynamic was not a choice criterion and, indeed, I had to look up their methods to complete this post. Ganevat is into biodynamics and Semeria organic.

A bottle of Jacobs Creek Reserve Prosecco NV from Australia. A light fresh bubbles with crisp acidity yet an almost creamy texture. Love it for a down-under summer and perfect to have in the fridge to open when my not-so-fanatic-about-wine friends drop in.

I very recently bought a case of 2012 Ch. St. Michelle "Indian Wells" Cabernet (Washington state) at what I think is a great price of $14.50 per. It has become my house Cabernet

OK, last bottle I bought was Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc. Seriously (Betsy needed 2 cups of white wine for Bolognese she was making for my mom, mom didn't know where corkscrew was, so cheapest non Sutter Home white in GA grocery).

Last wines I bought for myself -split 6 packs of 2012 Produttori Barbaresco and 2004 LdH Bosconia Res. with friend.

Just asked a wine shop in Raleigh to set aside two bottles of 2012 Leitz Rudesheimer Berg Roseneck Spatlese for me (with a tip of the bottle to David Bueker.) I had had it once before and like it. I think I have a Coombsville AVA Cabernet Sauvignon being held for me at another wine shop in Raleigh. Before that it was 2012 Foley Estates Pinot Noir Two Sisters Lindsay's Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills, CA and 2014 Julien Schaal Riesling Rosacker Grand Cru, Alsace and some Chidaine from the Loire and Alain Hudelot-Noellat from Burgundy.

It's sort of confusing for me. I'm not a very organized person and much of the wine I buy is purchased over the internet and quite a bit of it is not delivered immediately. What I can say is the latest wine delivery here was a case of Sea Smoke Pinot Noir 2013....half Southing and half Ten. But I think that was actually purchased quite a while ago. The last wine I can recall buying in a store was a bottle of Beaucastle a couple of weeks ago.

Picked up a bottle of 30 year old Graham's Tawny port while at the store in Manhattan Beach over the Xmas holiday. It was colder in SO CA & NO.CA than NY city. The weather is upside down in the country.

Hey Bob. When I pass thru the Ironbound in Newark (Portuguese neighborhood) I almost always find something that I am curious to try. A lot of this stuff probably doesn't get much distribution in the rest of the US.
