Re: Impressed with Vine Vault lay flat boxes
I didn’t realize Elton was selling these outside of actual vine vault locations. Definitely top notch boxes. Only downside is they don’t hold 12 bottles of every shape. Some are only 10ish bottles.

Re: 2019 Napa Cab Quality?
Sounds like 19 is similar in quality to 18 but a bit more concentrated. Another expensive vintage. Oh well.
