| Since i'm fairly new to the Alban list, I was only offered the 2005 Reva syrah. The 2004 Reva is among my two or three all time favorite wines so I ordered my three pack and requested a second. For those of you offered the grenache, viognier, and roussanne as well, i'm curious to know how much and at what price. | | | Temperance, like chastity, is its own punishment |

| It was something like 74, 42 and 44. Buying what you are offered and requesting more should quickly move you to the top tier allocation. I was offered a single bottle of the 2002 Reva as a waitlister and received an 11 bottle allocation for the 2005s. One miss though and you are off the list. | | | |

| You have to take the entire 6 pack. Alban is a bundler. That is usually the kiss of death for me (even with the more subtle bundlers like WS), but in this case I made an exception. | | | |

| I passed on the Reva offer last time (February?), so I got zip. A good thing, me thinks, given my current wine budget. | | | |

| Ordered the 11 pack, obviously, since I'm an Alban slut. | | | |

| Has anyone just recieved the mag or the box of 750's (not both)? I have to ship mine through Stagecoach, and they indicated they have only recieved the 1.5l.
I left a message for Glenn on this (is he still the appropriate person at Alban?), but haven't heard anything back yet.

| I have only received the 750s as far as I can tell. I'm still digging through boxes however. | | | |

| Once I looked explicitly for magnum boxes, I found the alban, so my order is complete. | | | |
