2005 Wines Heavily Discounted
Every wine and beverage store I enter in Ohio has a sales person approaching me and saying “how about this 2005 for only X a bottle … you know, the bottom has fallen out of the premium wine market …” I would guess the same could be said for other states, but I am amazed at how far prices have fallen on 2005 wines in Ohio. Wines that were $50 a few months ago are going for $25. Even better, wines just outside of my conservative price range (as you can tell from this list) are coming into my price range. I recently found 2005 Rodney Strong Merlots and Cabernets for $12/$13 instead of $20+. I even found a 2005 Mount Veeder previously $59 priced down to $22.
So, if you haven’t checked prices lately on CA 2005’s, you might be surprised to find local retailers heavily discounting them.
