WTN: 2001 Sauternes steal at Total Wine right now

2001 Chateau Cantegril: Complex and harmonious from a great vintage and ten+ years bottle age. Flavors include all the right stuff: honey, apricot, ginger, orange rind, lemon and tarte tatin with balanced acidity. Insane value: $27 for a 750 at Total Wine. I only bought three bottles (two weeks ago) because I was buying for a special event and wasn't familiar with the producer, and now I could shoot myself for not having bought more for myself!

DAMN! I was there earlier today and just read this now. Oh well - I'll just have to go back in a couple of days to see if that's made it over here.

Total Wine in Raleigh seems to carry quite a few Sauternes and Ports. Not sure about the 2001 vintage. Will have to check next time I go in there.

JC, have you used their website? It (seems to, anyway) be pretty good for telling you whether or not your store has something in stock--the chain's so large, I'll bet each store doesn't order/carry identical merchandise to all the others.

Yes, I have used the website and found it helpful. You are correct that not all stores carry the same wines.
