Got a big grey envelope from Bond yesterday.

"Oh Sheis! Another couple thousand bucks. I'll open it but I'm not a buyer!"

Riiiiiiiip....

a suitable for framing sepia-tone printed photograph of the Bond barrel room entitled

Bond - Awaiting Harvest - Oakville, California - Fall 2006

That's it! No note, no nuttin'!

Pretty nice really. They haven't figured out yet that I didn't buy anything the last offering.

They haven't realized I've NEVER bought anything from them. Their mailing list is probably pretty big and for them to spend all this money on nice pictures, their prices will probably remain too high for me to buy

I had the same thoughts run through my head as David...except mine had a few more expletives I think.

Very nice quality, but man when a winery spends several dollars the on the print, and packaging and another couple of bucks on the postage, I'd much rather have the money go into the WINE!! And maybe charge a few dollars less.

Clearly I'm not in the right demographic for these guys...

Where's the Lewelling mailer?

(Me) "awe crap!!!"

(me) "Crap!!!"
(my wife) "oh it is a big picture card with nothing else"
(me) "there is a god! and he loves me"

Mine arrived today in Chicago. Interesting since I've never ordered the wine.

It's really nice. Don't throw it away.

100 years from now it will be worth a fortune.

Mine arrived bent. I am having it mounted and professionally framed. Little things like this help with your Harlan allocation.

That's what Betsy Ross said when she had this crazy idea of putting stars and strips together on a piece of cloth.
