Damn, $18/bottle to ship to NY. That's a lot man, that's a lot. :-( | | | |

| i was allocated 6+6+1 box. i ordered it all, but it felt positively prehistoric to fill out a paper order form, write a check, put it in an envelope, affix stamp & walk it out to the mailbox.
i suppose it will be interesting to see what the secondary market does, but i intend to drink mine. | | | |

| Gus 
Sorry to have missed you last time you were in. I was in a planning meeting with several managers and we had just taken a break.
Call ahead next time.
++++++++++++++++++
IMO the SQN wines are truely remarkable and have found no reason to really flip any. I go back quite a ways with vintages and I have yet to find one that is even a little OTH. About a month ago I had a 2001 Ventriliquist and and I'm pretty sure it will be among my top five wines for this year.
Flip you Pax or Alban. Drink your SQN. Enjoy!

| | Those wines get shipped in the fall. Basically SQN runs a six month cycle. | | | |

| Gus,
I think you could open one in May. You just have to let them sit a few weeks to become happy after the rough FedEx ride.
You can wait until 2022 to drink your last bottle (at least that is what RP says ). | | | |

| | Got my 6 pack when I came into the office yesterday. So how come everyone bitches about the size of the Pax bottles but not the SQN bottles? | | | |

| | Perhaps it is because SQN is so much better than Pax. | | | |
