ISO: '85 California Cab

Hi guys, newhere

Might be a bit of a long shot, but I’m looking for my birth year ('85) California cab or blend to celebrate my birthday in a few weeks.

I won an auction on an '85 Ridge Monte Bello last week but the seller hasn’t responded since the auction ended and I’m afraid he’s unlikely to follow through.

My price range is around $300 =/- some change. Thanks for looking!

Doesn’t get much better than coming from Donn. Go wild!

That ‘85 Bonnie’s is a stellar bottle.

This is great! Sent you an email Donn.

Does the 25 post rule apply to buyers as well?

Doesn’t appear to .
Guy is looking to buy a bottle of wine for his birth year.
Are you trying to be a tattletale ?

[cheers.gif] i don’t mind, i wasn’t aware of a 25 post rule. fair question i suppose.

Had a nice chat with Donn. Still searching!

Thanks WB, found a couple great ones!
