Oh man, this just may be the end for the Turley list for me - I just can't see stockin' up on a bunch of Zins, though I do still enjoy these wines.  Maybe a small order, we'll see.

(5) Cedarman Zin - $29
(4) Dogtown Zin - $45
(1) Hayne Zin - $75
(1) Moore Earthquake Zin - $48
(6) Pesenti Zin - $35
(1) Tofanelli Zin - $34
(2) Ueberroth Zin - $48
(3) Hayne Petite - $75
(1) Library Vineyard Petite - $38
(0) Alban Roussanne - $38

Maybe a sign of the times, but it sure doesn't look like going light on the last release hurt my allocation any.

I skiipped the last mailer altogether, it will be interesting to see what my allocation will look like. I've switched the $$ spent on Turley to Carlisle. I still get my Zins, plus Rhone blends.

I skipped the last mailer and was allocated 18 bottles. I may just cherry pick the Haynes on this mailer.

OK, I love Turley wines, and the 1995 Hayne PS is a benchmark wine for me.  I've loved just about every wine I've had from them.  The cache may be gone, but I was still going to buy until I read the descriptions in the new mailer...

So there is this new Zin, Cedarman, and I want to know what the wine is like.  Here is the description:

"Holy Howell Mountain, Cedarman!  Dragon meets Rattlesnake -- CRACK!  BAM!  BOOM!  --pepper wild berries, blue fruits earth, untamed tannins, body, finish, concentration, depth...Tune in again, same Cedar time, same Cedar channel for another exciting adventury of Cedarman!"

I admit I'm in for my whole allocation, but I have no idea what I am getting...have they lost their minds?  Or am I just a curmudgeon?

I'm afraid to see what my allocation is going to be. Quilceda, Turley, and Rochioli SVD all in a three week window, with AP Vin on the horizon... I fenced my last mailer, but would really like to keep the PS vert going.

I didn't buy the last release and my allocation didn't change. Parker liked the '04s better than the '05's. I will probably go to the pickup day and buy a reduced amount. I like their pickup parties. And, the prices actually stayed the same - rare these days.

I am counting the days until I finish the last Turley bottle gumming up my wine refrigerator.  11 bottles to go.Â

Probably WIML - although MLV may decide to buy as she is a buying machine (while I am a drinking machine).

I passed on the last one too and got the same 21 bottle allocation as Eric. Skipping and still getting multiple Haynes?? After the SQN 6 bottles, I've got to pass.
