| C3 allocations are 2, 5, 2.
I'd be interested in notes as well. I am supposed to be passing on Sea Smoke this year. Famous last words. | | | |

| MM, at the Wine Cask futures tasting I found the Southing to actually be the best drinking of the three, very lush and forward. The Botella seemed somewhat closed, and the Ten was the most structured and in need of some years in the cellar. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Thanks. The resell market on the 2003's was pretty darn good. | | | |

| I'm a C2 as well... likely be purchasing this one. But, I have three weeks... so no rush to pull the trigger. | | | |

At these prices, plus $72 to ship 9 bottles, there are much better wines for the money...of course your mileage may vary. | | | |

| I'm a C2, but it's a bit too much wine for me after the last couple of months. I will order though....just go for 4 4 4 instead of 4 9 4. Sea Smoke wines are consistently good to excellent...so ordering something is a no-brainer for me.

| As with Radio Coteau, these are a favorite of Mrs. V, so what I think matters little. That said, after making a futures purchase earlier this Spring, I don't need my entire supply. I have 3 "Southings" and 4 "Tens" available at cost to anyone who is interested. | | | Beta testing a new signature. | |
