Still haven’t touched an '06 yet…these will sleep side by side with them when they get here. -mJ

I’m in LA, hopefully I’ll get mine by tomorrow.

William_Segui · November 10, 2009, 10:25pm

hmmm… looks like I need to schedule a pick-up…

Joe_Hauck · November 10, 2009, 10:45pm

Mine are coming tomorrow along with everything thats accumulated form Winebid.

gene_keenan · November 10, 2009, 10:48pm

maybe you can pick up my 06 cab and 07 pinot’s for me… i could pick them up in napa

They were shipped overnight yesterday using GSO in California. Mine arrived today. I was unaware of what they were until I opened the box.

CFu · November 10, 2009, 11:24pm

Like most wineries that actually watch for shipping windows the people at RM probably planned on shipping later but since we’ve had cooler than normal weather they decided to send it on out. They didn’t really have a warning either but maybe an email would have been nice anyways.

William_Segui · November 11, 2009, 1:54am

I’d be more than happy to. Hell – maybe I’ll drive them into the City for you. It’ll only cost ya a bottle of Aubert Chard!

But in all seriousness, would love to hook up and do dinner/drinks/whatever sometime soon.

Paul_McCourt · November 11, 2009, 2:24am

When mine get here they immediately go buh-bye for quite a while.

I may have to crack an 03 to celebrate, though.

gene_keenan · November 11, 2009, 3:17am

perfect. sounds fun (dinner/drinks/whatever). I will have to drink the Aubert with ya or the two of you though.

Tyler_Rico · November 11, 2009, 3:18am

same here

double delivery of all the winebid goods and rm

Lance_Smith · November 11, 2009, 4:37am

Apparently Anthill rolled out as well via GSO

Brennan_Anderson · November 11, 2009, 4:57am

Hi All, first post on the board here, +4 here. I received emails from Golden State Overnight but didn’t open them as I thought it was some sort of Spam. Anyway, I received both the Anthill and Rivers Marie today to my happy surprise.

As this is the first time I’ve purchased the wine, can someone familiar with the Rivers Marie cab describe the ideal drinking window? I’m assuming at least two years of sleep time, but any insight is appreciated. I’ve heard so much about the Rivers Marie pinots I decided to pull the trigger on the cab just to see what it’s all about…

Of course today turned out to be seasonally warm in So. Cal, with temps in the mid-80s at least. I wondered who had sent via GSO…5 cases of WineBid goodies show up tomorrow!!!

CFu · November 11, 2009, 5:15am

Welcome! I think 1-2 years should be okay. This cab is done in the bold rich/ripe style of Cabernet. Nothing like his pinot. I’d say a good chunk of airtime would be beneficial to this wine if you open it early. I’ve had the 06 twice in the past year and it’s basically tasted the same… even tho it was almost a year apart.
