| I have been on their list for a few years and always found it cheaper at retail. So I sent them an e-mail and asked them about this. $65.00 per 12 limit. Any thoughts? Anyone? | | | "Why Keep Score if you are not going to play by the rules?" |

| The 02 is hands down the best I've from them. The last one I had was about 3 months ago. (future Bro-inlaw works for SO) Very pricey but a solid wine. Look for it at retail. FWIW, I think Parker gave this a 94. | | | |

Creek. Oak. Same thing. They both have a "k" in them. | | | |

| I kind of feel the same way, though Parker did give it a really good review, and I generally agree with his tastes (ok, I'm a score whore).
I agree that it's easy to find for less than that mailer price, but I'll probably try a bottle one day when I can't think of somehting else to drink. I'm in agreement that Silver Oak hasn't produced anything good for many years now. | | | |

| I really enjoyed a bottle of the 02 Twomey Cab (yes Cab) in Feb. Not sure when it will be released but something I would buy for $60 or under. Imagine SO with better extraction and French Oak. | | | |
