| Okay, need to ask a dumb question. What is Bond wine?? Never heard of it at this end of the country.
Thanks in advance for the education. | | | |

| Bond is a new operation from Bill Harlan. Over the next year or two, Harlan will release new wines from specific vineyards that he and his winemaking team have been working on for several years and have long term contracts to manage, cultivate, and harvest. It is symptomatic of Bill Harlan's perfectionist attitude that he has the extraordinary patience/discipline to follow these projects for a number of years before actually deciding whether to enter the marketplace.

| I emailed them requesting to be on the Bond list, and they emailed back saying they put me on the waiting list for Harlan....
So I wrote back asking for clarification if the email meant the Bond list also. We'll see if I get a response. | |

| I received the same email as winebrat today, though signed by Don Weaver. Guess it really doesn't clear up anything.

| Thanks. I emailed them and they responded that I had already requested to be on their list in Sept, so I was already on their list. They did not say that I was on the list because I was already on the Maiden list.
I thanked Chris Bables and said that I look forward to getting their wines. He responded, "No problem!!", so I guess I should expect to get some. | | | |

| | I emailed a request to be included back when and got the same response as Winebrat. Have subsequently spoken to Harlan several times telephonically on Harlan related matters, but asked about Bond and was told I am on the list. Registering by email seems to work. If the list hasn't been filled yet, that's one way to go. | | | |

| Thanks to all for the info on Bond. Here is the reply to my request to be added:
Formal announcement of the inaugural releases of the Bond wines will occur early next year. We will communicate your interest and request they include you in their initial mailing.
I hope it's as good as the hype. | | | |
