| Box of 2 bottles of 05 The Noble Man & 1 bottle of 05 The Straw Man: $300. Also, a great story about the relationship with the late Mr. Kracher. I did not realize that Mr. K wine was named after Mr. Kracher. | | | |

KGB, I think these wines are well worth buying, but there is no real profit element for the Mr. K's. That is why you are seeing boxes offered at cost.

| | Why would anyone sell any of these wines? Whether they are the SQN or Mr. K sweet wines they are IMHO some of the best wines made in the world. Do you not want to enjoy them yourself? | | | |

| 1 box up for grabs here. PM is best.
And why? Sweet wines are just not very popular in our house. | | | |

| Wine Thief. You are right. These don't grow in price nearly as fast or as high as I suggested in an earlier post. But after 5 years of waiting for an offer I am certainly not going to pass.
