| According to the Pop's Wine web site, they now have 2001 Marquis Philips Integrity available, priced at $79.65 when you purchase a 3-pack. | | | 2008: the end of an error |

| Yeah - I remember that soap opera.
I don't anticipate actually receiving the wine --- I guess you could say this is more of an experiment for me.

| I remember it well, "Pops goes Weasel", one of the all time classic threads, and still makes for good reading over on the Squires board. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Got a phone call about 5 minutes ago from a salesperson telling me the 'web site had not been updated' to reflect the lack of inventory on the Integrity.
Gee, couldn't see this one coming.... | | | |

| Sorry for the false alarm everyone, I got the same phone call. What a totally goofy marketing strategy these guys have, can only serve to breed ill will. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| I am glad I did not have to play those foolish games to get mine. Tactics such as that are idiotic, the good news is it will get back to them eventually. | | | |

| Dont worry about that - you'll eventually get them. Amazon has done that to me on previous orders of Spieg, but it all eventually came. Your main worry is how they pack them.  | | | |

| sfrye, You said it!!! I've gotten 4 orders of Spiegelau Authentis glasses delivered. It is an absolute miracle that none of them arrived in splinters! Their packing material is a joke!  | | | |
