| I tried some of his lineup on Sat. The chabono was like a liquid dessert with loads of coffee and chocolate. It was good, but I don't know what you would pair it with. | | TN posted on Cellartracker"

How about just a smile and some good conversation?  | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |

I bought a mixed case of Claret, Merlot, and MuscleMan - it's all for me!!!! That's what I bought. If my wine budget wasn't shot from other mailers, I would have taken all my claret, merlot and both PS. Foley's PS is always outstanding!
I am surprised that there isn't a waiting list for Bob's wine. He's gotten some great ratings on his Claret and PS from RP. But you can go right now to the website and pick up 8 bottles of the 2005 Claret - no waiting.

| When will the madness STOP?!? :-)
All that saving from those "other" mailer I skipped is cancelled out here. The “saved” money did not lay around long. :-)
I don't know how many of each yet, but will buy some of each for sure. | | | |

| I cut back on my Foley order because I got promoted to the Switchback list this year.
I enjoy both of these!!! | | | |

| Foley Merlot is outstanding.. and the fact that he likens his claret to the 2001 makes me eager to try it. | | | |

Not to tempt anyone, but I went to the website and was able to pull down an order sheet. I'm passing myself since I have too many $100+ cabs, but just an FYI | | | |

The order form on the site was for the '05 claret , petits and merlots. Current form is not there. Still waiting for my snail mail. | | | |

| Just found the 2005 in Nashville. Now wine in Nashville is usually much more expensive than Chicago due to the "Sin Tax". But they had the 2005 PS and Merlot for $59 and the 2006 Charbono for $35!!! The Claret was $125. Super prices! | | | |
