| Go buy twice as much as you think you want. You can figure out what to do with it later!  | | | |

| The price in NJ won't be below wholesale, which is, as Mudpuppy properly corrected me, $91.95. If you must save the $2, you will have to buy it in another state, as it is illegal to sell wine below wholesale price in NJ.

| I've tried the 01 Insignia at the winery during the release party in mid May. It was fantastic. I'd put it on your buy list if you like cabs and are willing to pay approximately $100 for a bottle. I haven't had the 1997 in quite awhile and the 2001 is at least the equal of the 1994. | | | |

| I had to buy a few cases for some good customers. I might have a case or two left over. Same price as everybody else in NJ.
