12 X 750ml Facets 205 Estate Red @ $75 2 X Mag Facets 205 Estate Red @ $180 12 X Facets Estate Chard @ $50 7.75% CA Sales Tax, looks like decent shipping prices though. How long do you think I have to buy all these before being offered the gemstone? You guys think this is a buy? I'm definately not getting the full allocation...

Usually if you are offered the one, you will be offered the other. I've always found the Facets quite good if you like Cabs and Cab blends. I haven't tried the Chards.

I got the offer today. Unfortunately the minimum chard order is 6, and I don't feel like dropping 300 for the chards and the 225 for the blend plus tax and shipping. Thanks for the positive review though, I might just have to spring for them.

The onslaught doesn't stop, I didn't get the Facets mailer yet, but I did last year. For $75, it is a tough call as to whether I will pull the trigger on it. I may need to open another bottle of 2004 to see whether I need to buy the 2005.

These have gotten too expensive for my taste including the Gemstone which now runs about $150 or so.
