| | Obviously people were so overwhelmed with the quality of the first release that a price hike was in order. Oh, wait. That's right. They didn't release the first vintage yet. So the price hike is based on......? Hubris? Parker's 93-97 reviews for the upcoming vintages? An all-consuming vision of self-importance? My Match mailer came today, and with the nice hefty discount I get from Randy, I know where I am putting my Cab money. | |

| Gee,
Wonder what the release price will be in a couple of years??
I'm with you Stemor. I got kicked off the list too. Just like at Sloan and probably at Futo family as well. | | | |

AlexRed, the missus can provide context, but based on this strong review I may actually be a buyer of the 2005 L&M. Sounds like dynamite stuff.

| | Hey look, I got one today. I didn't buy last year, but was lucky enough to get an allocation on this hard-to-get cult wine ... I guess. I didn't open the envelope. | |
Cheers, y'all | |

| | At least this time they didn't use the term "1 bottle case" on the mailer. | | | |

| | Someone's gotta buy, or else they may not be able to keep sending the hard stock folded card offer in a hard stock blue envelope that jams up in the mailbox unless it's by itself. I just don't get it how they can charge this much without releasing a wine yet. | | | |

That card has got to cost them at least $1.50 to $2.00 per each they mail...
