That would be great too. But as Marjie noted, I looked at all of the upcoming wines and they all were bottled by dN. So they will be the usual with all of the fluff text that comes with the release.

Yep, the 2021’s are bottled by dN @ Santa Rosa, CA.
I think Tim is likely correct, as usual.

Could be the 100% PV portion if this. Note “southwest slopes of Mayacamas,” and other vineyard description similarities.

John,
What I didn’t see in this offer was a tongue scraper, with toothbrush and teeth whitener. THAT would complete this offer.
Cheers, Tim

This one looks interesting……Not sure I’ve had a 100% PV from California…….
Tempted to purchase. Enjoyed n.143

Apparently Courtney Benham is upset so he is suing Cameron. Ordering anything from dN directly supports that kind of crap. Glad I stopped buyimg when I did. Benham: GFY.

Cameron is correct in stating that the phrase “negociant” is generic. While the claim that the founding membership sales contravene the noncompete might have merit I think Benham will have a difficult time establishing significant damages from this short term breach. This is a temper tantrum about something he should have seen coming miles away.

While I might have been tempted to pick up some more RRV Chardonnay from dN as I run low, this temper tantrum by Mr Benham means that I am done with this and all Martin Ray related ventures.

I’m tempted to send an email stating the same thing. I was open to purchasing more, and I always buy the 50s, but I think I’ll be passing on the 550 because of this.

Good call on the email - I sent a polite note letting them know why I was unsubscribing.

Can you elucidate what those “related ventures” might be?

I think his brands are Martin Ray, Angeline, Synthesis, Foppiano, Courtney Benham, and Vina Robles. Any that I missed?

I do understand the negative sentiment.
I triple dislike litigation. I double love Consumer choice.
I have low ethical standards, 
so I have rather poor judgement.
For me, it’s not, “Either/Or.”
It is, “Both ventures, and….”
Hopefully, more choices will bring out the best offers for us all!
In due time, I fully expect the gift card will bring great JOY & plenty of fancy booze, too!
Cheers

Lot 476 | 2022 Mendocino County Cabernet Sauvignon
Is probably a good value @ $169/delivered? T1, this weekend.
However, I’m still holding out for more 2023 CS, Napa/Sonoma & their sub-AVA’s.
Got enough of the 2022’s, unless…….? Stags Leap or such.
I’m definitely subject to temptation………
