| The guy that normally buys my allocation received his own allocation, so my 6/1 allocation is available at cost plus shipping. Would be good to deal with somebody local, but I can likely have it shipped directly to you.

| j1mmy - if you don't want to buy Chris' allocation (after all he is a shifty character), you can buy a couple of my allocation. I usually pick it up directly from the winery, then I can ship to you afterward.
I'll be buying some for sure. Rated 97 by bobby, and reliably excellent. But I will NOT be going "all in". | | | |

| I bought my 6/1 for investment purposes. If any locals want some of mine at cost now send me an email.
I think I'll keep the magnum though. | | | |

| Double duh!
It's been pretty consistently a very good wine (for a Cab). You just have to be patient and wait 7-8 years to drink it. | | | |

| I'll buy one to stay on the list. But no more 6 plus the mag purchases for me. Not that the wine isn't outstanding, just too much $$. | | | |
