| | Will almost certainly get some Cab Franc, but would like to see notes if anyone's had any experience or insight to the wines offered. | | | |

| | Interesting that with the 2001 vintage you couldn't find any Pride cabs anywhere now they may have a shortfall on their mailing list. Lots of passing on various forums. | | | |

| | You'll see the same thing happen with Kosta Browne eventually. People will have 10 plus cases in their cellars, the prices will keep going up year after year, people will get tired and move on. Feeding frenzy over. | |

Not to pick nits, but the Cab isn't being offered this time around. So much of the "passing" may be the result of people not wanting to fork over large sums for "secondary" wines. That said, when the Cabs come out in the Fall, you'll likely see very much the same reaction. I don't get offered the Reserve, and the regular Cab is a 89-91 point wine (for me) every year. If I want an 89 point Cab, I'll buy one for a quarter to a third the price of Pride.

| | We'll be up there on Monday afternoon for a Picnic and tasting. I've loved the Cab Franc in the past and the 2001 and 2002 Cabs and Merlots have been some of our favorites. I'll decide when I'm up there if we will get anything. | | | |
