| Got the 2006 Salinia mailer yesterday. While I'm trying to emulate WIML, this is one of those mailers I have to buy from.....I'm friends with the winemaker. I gotta quit making so many friends! My allocation was: W.E. Bottoms Pinot 9
Heintz Syrah 3 Heintz Chard 6
I ordered 6/6/3
If you guys haven't tried the Salinia wines yet, I suggest you look up their website. These keep getting better and better! Chris

| | I like the wines and agree their customer service is good - MLV and I discussed it and we are probably passing on this one - | | | |

| Hey Guys,
Chris mentioned this thread to me so I wanted to stop by and check in with you. The members of Vinocellar have been great supporters of Salinia since the beginning and I am forever grateful for that. Please know that I am always available for questions or just to chat by phone or email.
Dave, I know it is difficult to get information on my wines prerelease and for this I apologize. However this year, with urging from another winemaker, I sat down with Josh Reynolds. His impression of the Chardonnay might give you the perspective you are looking for. If you do not have access to these reviews, let me know and I will email them to you. Unfortunately, the Chard is the only wine of this release that is reviewed. The reds are just to tight in the winter, which is exactly why we hold onto them until the fall.
You all have an open invitation to stop by and see me. I am working on some really cool things right now that I would love to share with you!

| Prices are $135/3 pack for each, inclusive of shipping - If you pick up, take a 10% discount. Kevin - I have not seen Josh's review I still haven't touched my 05 syrahs. | | | |

| | I just got an offer of 9/0/3. Was considering a partial purchase, but then I noticed: no shipping to Oregon?! | | | |

| | Araujo, Outpost, & Ringland have pretty much gobbled up my wine-spending budget. | | | |
