| Just got the offer e-mail. My first year on the list (tried to order last year, but too late). Allocated 3 cabs and 3 merlot. Not offered any petite, which according to the e-mail is in short supply. Just glad to get anything! Cabs are $69 and the merlot at $49.50. | | |

| 6 Cabs, 6 Merlot, 6 Petite. I will be happy if that is all I can get, but the Petite is cut in half from last year. My buying consortium will not be pleased.

| 6 Cab, 3 Merlot & 3 Petite Sirah
Also, with the scores for the '01 and what now must be a loooong waiting list, it was nice to see that the price only increased by $9, $1.5 and $4.50 respectively.
Thanks Kelly! | | | |

| Is this a secured allocation, or it is a first come first serve? | | | |

Secured through 10/15. Another plus, I really hate unsecured "allocations" because they aren't really allocations at all, they are maximum order levels. | | | |

| Got 6 of each, third year on the list and the same as last year.
Where did you guys request mags? Wallet is downstairs, so I didn;t go all the way through the checkout process....was there a specific area that I didn;t get/see? | | | |

| My first year on the list and I was offered 2 CS and 2 Merlot. I put in for everything and requested magnums, if available.
Kennerd - there was a section towards the end of the checkout specifically for additional quantity/magnum requests. | | | |

| I got on the list with the 2000 vintage. Good juice. I did receive mags of the CS and PS last year too. Back then at least, you had to send a separate request if you were interested in mags, and I got on that list too. Nice to see they can be requested directly on the site this year. Mike | | | |

| Is there anyone on the list that did not get an email? We have been on since 2000, (& have taken our full allocations)- but no email yesterday.
I already emailed Kelly. | | | |
