| Same allocation as Eric. For once, I did not max out my order. I love Saxum, but three cases and 6 magnums is too much even for me. | | | |

| Their Syrahs have always been a bit too sweet for my tastes. | | | |

| J - I have extras of everything but the Rocket Block (including mags), just let me know.
Placed my order last night for what I'm taking - ouch, that hurt. | | | 2008: the end of an error | |

| Last night when I checked my allocation while travelling, I had 3 each of Heartstone, Berry, Booker and Rocket Block. Tonight, when I got home and ordered the Booker and Rocket Block were sold out. I thought this was a secure allocation-wrong.  I wrote them a mail note to see if they will make it right. If not, I'm interested in any Rocket Block and Booker extras (up to 3) from folks.
Well, Saxum did come back and offer me 3 Booker and 1 Rocket Block. Kudos to them! | | | |

| Dunno if you know, or if you care, but the RMP ratings on 2005 Saxum are very high. He also rates Alban and SQN extremely high - no surprise there. I'm guessing that Alban will just be harder and harder to get each year, even though I've been on the mailing list for ages. | | | |
