| Has anybody tried this? I loved the '01, especially for the price. I can get a case of the '02 from a LWS with a coupon for $208. I think that beats the mailing list price by >$100. Anyway, I'm trying to decide how much to get and wanted any thumbs up/down from anyone who has tried it. TIA

| At that price you can hardly go wrong. I bought a case @$26 per. Love the 01 as well. Haven't tried the 02 yet. I should get mine next week. | | | |

| Raybanz -
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but what is an LWS? | | | |

| Lousy Wine Store? Another guess (though not a very good one).  |

| Thank you for enlightening me? That is a great price on the Worthy - are those 'coupons' available only to locals? | | | |

| I printed the coupons off the net. www.cranberryliquors.comMaryland, in its infinite wisdom, does not allow wine shops to deliver or ship outside of their own county. But if you are in the Westminster, MD area (about 1/2 way between Baltimore and Gettysburg, PA) you should check it out. | | | |

| The setting or glasses were not the best to record notes, but I thought this was good stuff. No TNs, but nice package, good core of dark fruit, not a bad finish, good mouthfeel. 89+ and for $25, a buy in my book! For an everyday cab, I would peg this above the 2001 Buehler and Mettler which I thought were great QPR. | | | |

| hey raybanz
that even beats my $19.99/bottle from a store in annapolis a few weeks ago. They had a sale... think their normal price is $25. Not so local for me, but much better than the mailer price i bit on... especially after going through buffalo shipping...
learned of it through a wine commune connection. and that connection was incredibly helpful and even brought it down to NoVa for me... no shipping! yeah!
so now i have 2 cases. damn. | | | |
