Sorry if this has already been posted, but I was real excited to see that the 2009 Rivers-Marie newsletter is up. Interesting read, as always but the highlight is FREE SHIPPING (!!!) on the 2007 cabs. TRB also says the 2008 pinot/chard allocations will go up to 15 bottles in January.
The free shipping is especially great news for me because I am nearing the end of my wine budget for the year and R-M was my last must buy. I was worried about stretching it out and this is a huge help.
Great wine and great relationship-building.
If the free shipping continues for the next mailer I’ll be giddy.
Haven’t gotten the e-mailer yet, but as I recall, the newsletter often goes up on the web site a few days before the blast goes out? I haven’t tried to log in to my account yet … should do that.
I had a bottle of the 2003 Cab recently, I think it was … and it was drinking very well. A 2006 a month or so ago also was quite pretty and young. These are fine wines. And the label is awesome.
I’ll take my entire case allocation, but am open to sharing a bottle with those that are less fortunate and don’t have a last name that sounds like Stevie or choirs.
Do the Will Call option and I’ll get it for you when I am out there in October and someone can mule it back to you from DFW…calling Gimli…on their next trip down.
Not a bit napa cab fan, but will probably take a few bottles like last year. Fun every once in a while and the pricing is great. If anyone in Seattle wants a few bottles, let me know.
