| Postcard as well. I think I signed up 3ish years ago. Anyone have an idea how long it takes before you get an offer? I can't imagine that a lot of people drop off. | | | |

| I got that one offer last year as my first offer after lots of post cards. Ordered my 4 bottles. Still waiting on those. Got this as my second offer, but only got allocated 3 of the Hoodo. Sending in my check.... | | | |

| 6 - "The Hoodoo Man" and 1 box of "Ode to E" for me! I've been on the list for a long time. Initially, I actually delayed signing up on the list because SQN was easily available at retail - hard to believe now. I once bought 6 bottles of the "Queen of Spades" on close out.  -Dave- | | | |

| 3 btls of the Hoodoo Man for me, which is all I can afford. Check is already in the mail. No Ode to E for me, which is a blessing because I'm broke. As for timing, I signed up for the mailing list in April 2004, which doesn't seem too long ago. I bought the Poker Face t-shirt last summer, and then was offered the Atlantis syrah and grenache soon after that. | | | |

| Must have been some cancellations for the Blackberry Farms event mentioned in the newsletter (I tried to book it awhile ago and there was no space available) because I just lucked out and got a room for the event. Haven't been to Blackberry Farms yet (tried really hard last year for the Harlan/Screaming Eagle/Thomas Keller weekend but never could get a spot) but people who have been say its just incredible. Really looking forward to this. | | | |

| Got the 1 box, 4 bottle offer. Horrible timing, as it doesn't fit into my moving plans. | | | |

oh how quickly things change dave. i went from postcard to 22 bottles pending in the blink of an eye. since Fred left no one has brought any SQN to DC Cru dinners... i guess that may change soon. if ever i can't swing my allocation i know who to call. | | | |

| I was also allocated 4 bottles. I don't like Roussanne @ all. If any one is interested, I may have some available @ my price. Please let me know. | | | |

| LCC I'll take anything you don't want. No need to ship just drop off at my friend's building on the upper east side (or some other drop off if that's a hassle for you). | | | |

| You were the 1st to reply, Jones. They are yours, let me just ask my brother what he wants, if any @ all. I've dropped off wine for you over there @ your friend's place. No problem, I can do it this time also. We are in NYC regularly in mid-town. | | | |
