| Well, the unlimited Sonoma Zin did it. I ordered 36 of those. Hey, like Mike says, I don't think you'll find a better $16 bottle of wine anywhere. I'm willing to bet $576 that he's right  Tim | | | |

| I got the same allocation as Tim... 27 bottles plus the unlimited Sonoma Zin.
I don't think I'll be ordering 36 of them, though. I've got no place to put them!!!
I have a feeling that some of that will show up at retail. | | | |

| ALso - when you factor shipping and tax (at least for us) the per bottle price goes up by something like $9 - still a good value but not nearly as good as $16. We are buying 2 cases - I believe. Can't see buying any less than that. | | | |

| Understood (about the shipping). I'm fortunate enough to live about 80 miles south. We're able to pick up and avoid the shipping costs all together. That's a huge bonus.

Skipping. That's the first time I've seen someone skip an offering from Carlisle... | | | |

| Healthy. That said, I cannot do that. I may limit myself to a case though. | | | |

| Albeit a group order, took my 27 bottle allocation plus 26 of the Sonoma zin for an even 53 - Ohio requires sales tax on shipping - what a nice racket! | | | |

| If anyone (preferably in the Northeast) has any extra Carlisle to spare, please let me know. To make a long story short, it appears that back in January I faxed my order form to Carlisle upside down. I only found out today when i sent Mike an email to confirm my order was received. (it wasn't) So I missed the window and I'm getting shut out.  Real bummer, because this is actually my most eagerly-anticipated mailer.  | | | |

| John... if you're anywhere near New Jersey, Carlisle usually shows up there at retail.
I've been to Wine Library and to Canal's in MArlton, and they both had several of Mike's 2005s. | | | |

| Hey, I did it! I skipped. Not 100% intentional, but subconsciously perhaps. I'm sure I'll buy some Syrahs in the Fall. | | | |
