| Thanks Gus, I'm in the same boat - figured it was a glitch, and had already emailed them and was waiting for a reply. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Crap! I do not need something else hitting my CC at the moment. I have bought since 95 and am not about to blow the vertical now... | | | |

| FWIW, it 's nice to see only a $3 premium for a magnum. Pretty rare for California. | | | |

| Anyone in the bay area interested in sharing? Don't think I want to buy the mag for myself. | | | |

| Same 6 bottles + 1 mag allocation for me. I ordered 3 + 1 mag. Lately I'm only taking half my allocations. I'm sort of regretting the Mag.... I hope the wine is great! -Dave- | | | |

| I was very close to passing entirely on this but ordered 3 bottles (no mag). Although this is a wine that we like with the shipping and tax it came to $249 pb.
Shipping 2 day for 3 bottles was $50 (cough, cough...). Probably my last go 'round with HSS. | | | |

| I figured the mags would go quick. Still second guessing my 6+1 purchase last week. Out of curiousity, does anybody know if you buy the minimum of one bottle, do they give you less than a 6 bottle allocation the next year? | | | |
