| 2006 La Neblina SC Pinot $42 2006 Timerbervine RRV Syrah $50 2006 Cherry Camp SC Syrah $50 2006 Von Weidlich RRV Zin $42
Bought the 05 La Neblina last year, and still letting them sleep a bit longer.
On the fence with the Syrah's. Can't even remember the last time I've tried a Zin.
Thoughts?

2006 Cherry Camp Sonoma Coast Syrah, $50 (Parker 94-96, Raynolds 92+)
2006 Von Weidlich RRV Zin, $42 (Raynolds 93)
Plus first-come, first-served allocations of the '06 La Neblina and (for some customers, apparently not including me) the Chard they had in the spring mailer.

| For the first come-first served wines, I believe you just need to put in a request after you put in your order for the current releases - " may be requested through the “Wish List” at the end of the ordering process" I may buy some of the Syrah.. but $50 is pushing it (see Carlisle for an example of the pricing I'd prefer). So far I've liked many of the 2006 North Coast Syrahs. -Dave- | | | |

| I am in the "prefer Carlisle's pricing camp." Passing, but when I mentioned on the Peay thread that I had made much tougher passes, this would be one (ditto Littorai). | | | |

| I'll buy from this one, but less than usual. I just got hit by Rochioli and Williams Selyem.......and something has got to give! Chris

| I hate to pass on wine this good, but at this price point (and with no pickups) I think I will actually let this one go. | | | |

| I'll probably be in for a few of the syrahs - really enjoyed the Las Colinas so I imagine the Timbervine and the Cherry Camp should be good as well. | | | |

| After sitting on the fence with this one, I have reluctantly decided to pass on RC this mailer. I do like the style, but need to be a bit more selective with my spending habits.

I planned to buy from this mailer, but then received a few others in the mail the next day. With others coming in that I know I'll want to buy from, such as KB, everything else is getting WIML'd at this point. I must break this insane habit! | | | |
