I see that the Galitzine is $15 more than last year's. That in itself may very well keep me away.
Significant price increases in this economy is resulting in dropped mailers for me (Kistler/Aubert etc).

I'm in for the 4 and maybe some Red's but like Drew will probably sell some of the 2004 Galitizine's...

I may buy 1 bottle or 2. But, I may have some to sell @ cost.

More than likely I will pass on both - ie more Cab that is never ready to drink. The red wine is well-priced and a definite option.

I'll likely offer mine up to locals at cost. Whether they buy it or not, sobeit.

I didn't buy the Galitzine last year and don't plan to start this year. I have never bought the "red wine" before but it intrigues me this year. Must be the $35 price tag versus the ludicrous prices that I have been seeing the last couple years from other mailers.

i bought the G last year, maybe will buy 2 more this year. maybe not. have never bought the red and for some reason i'm just still not that interested. go figure.

Passed on the G last year. Have a buyer for some this year, so since I'm placing an order, I think I will take one and see how it goes. Never bought the Red before, but at $35 per, I am going to buy a case. It will either become my "House Red" to serve to folks who come over and want "whatever you have open", or, if I don't care for it, will become Christmas presents. I find that I pull about a dozen or so wines out of the cellar every December as gifts. "Honey, I need a bottle to take to my hairdresser. Pick one out that you think she'll like."  I never plan ahead and buy wines for this inevitability. Seems silly to buy more wine when I have so much in the house. But these $35 bottles of QC will be easy to part with if they aren't my style.

One of the locals told me he finally made the QC list with this offering. His allocation. 6 x Galtzine and 24 x Red. WTF?!? That's a pretty dang nice first allocation for such an "exclusive" wine with an 18% price increase during a recessionary economy.

I thought I had fallen off the list as I haven't bought anything for over two years, yet I got a mailer.

Joe - 6 bottle alloc for Galitzine? That sounds a little funny, as every single post I've seen quotes 4?

Landed on splitting the order with a friend (at cost) evenly. Wondering if purchasing history on this affects the other offerings?

yeah, finally arrived. 4/24. rethinking it, i may buy my 4, and a few others. but i reserve the right to change my mind. again and again and again. 8/18 is a long way away!

4/24
Don't like the price increase at all for the G, but will still likely buy.

I was offered 4 Gal and 24 Red this year. I passed last year but was offered 3 cab and bought 3 in January. Is there a connection between the Fall and Spring mailer in terms of allocation?

That's what he said but hey, no doubt that one of us could be mistaken.

i was always offered the red and never bought any (for maybe 2-3 years). last mailer i was offered some of the cab for the first time (forgot how much) and i bought 3. this mailer offered 4 and 24 and i dont' plan to buy.
