I'm very glad to see that prices are very little changed from last year. | | | |

| Any thoughts on these? I haven't had any recent-vintage W-S pinots and am on the fence with these. I've skipped a number of W-S mailers and face expulsion if I don't buy this time...
Offered:
1 x Sonoma County PN
2 x Sonoma Coast PN
4 x RRV PN
1 x Central Coast PN
No Westside Neighbors, zins, chard or late harvest gewurtz in my offering.
Thoughts? | | | |

| I love the Williams Selyem wines year to year.....I've yet to open a bad or merely decent bottle.....they've all been great! Considering the pricing on these they are always a must buy for me. My order went in this morning.
These are first come first served....so don't delay if you want to buy.

| Man...this one hurt me... I am a huge W-S fan, and with the hype of 2005 I couldn't pass this one up. I was in for a little over 2 cases...  | | | |

Great allocation Prosp...you must have been ordering these for awhile. Mine was less, and I've been ordering everything offered for the last three years!

Thanks! I've been buying since the 2000 vintage, but I haven't consistently maxed out my mailers. With WS it seems that length of time on the list and purchase history affects your allocations.
Now if only my KB allocation was more than yours!! | | | |

Blame Jim Laube! Without all of the point chasers we'd be able to buy all we wanted.
I've yet to find a winery based on scores. All of my "finds" have been via people here.....JW1, DavidN, Andrew Vingiello, Brian Loring.....my cellar is what it is because of these people!
If this website gave out stock tips like they do wine tips, I'd be a wealthy man!

Ok here's your stock tip buy low sell high or if
you don't like that one buy high sell higher.
Buy AAPL it's going over a hundred sometime over
the next twelve months. | | | |

Man I hope so. My #2 son has a ton of options at $10. Somebody has to be able to buy me wine when I grow up and retire. | | | |
