| I'll be buying the Pinot....not the BDX stuff. I sell the Chard for a reason...to buy the Pinot. I'll be interested to see what allocations and prices look like! Chris | | | |

| I passed on the Chardonnay once (after buying from every offer since making the list) and haven't received an offer since. So be it. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| Vine, PM Budman!
If the allocations are as small as before most people will buy them. My guess is 4, 2, 2 allocations. For reference purposes only in previous years the Pinots have been worth quite a bit on the secondary market. Especially the UV.
As with many wines their pricing is creeping up into "think carefully" areas. If the price increases they will be around $100pb in the door including tax and shipping. That is a lot for Cali Pinot. | | | |

PM sent. I will surely have extras. The "interest" is there. But the "principal" isn't, if you know what I mean. | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |

| I bought the last two vintages but didn't get an offer for this grrrr. If anyone wants to share 1 or two bottles, let me know. I'll share my Switchback in return?
What does their pinot taste like? Any similarities with other Pinot producers?
What other mailers are left this year? KB SVDs, Lewelling, and 06 Switchback? I've been pretty good this year with my wine spending! I passed on almost every mailer but Switchback and Carlisle.

| Just ordered. The pinots are a no brainer for me. I bought the red too because....well I was offered it :-). Now the premium on the magnums is just wrong. Almost the price of 3 bottles is nuts. | | | |
