Re: Seaver Vineyard
Curious, how much per bottle? Email doesn't say. Last year they charged $150 for the GTS, so probably at least that much this year. They are also offering the NLS which I believe costs less. Hopefully, they do not throw us any curves. Can't hit a curve ball, Blake? [wow.gif] Me either!!! [cheers.gif]
