Totally shameless wine plug....

[Galo]

So, for those of you who bought into our Purple Cow Wine sale for STN members, be advised, our Kelsey Edition Pinot Noir went up against five other -and much more expensive- Pinots last week in a blind tasting of Oregon Pinots at the 'Cellar on 10th' in Astoria (one of OR's most well-respected wine shops) and it was the favorite, in spite of it being $14 less than the next least expensive bottle...

Enjoy!!

Kick ass!!!!!!

I'll be able to pay in about a week and a half. Can't wait.

[Galo]

Kick ass!!!!!!

 
Thanks!!

Is it better than Boone's? JUST KIDDING!!! HEY I THOUGHT I WAS ON THE LIST TO GET CONTACTED WHEN THE WINE WAS READY!!!

Oh well.

[Real Bad Attitude]

How do you get on the list.
I'm a member of the Gold Medal Wind Club. They provide California wines. Get a bottle of red and a bottle of white once a month. Good stuff. All dry by the way.

[RexRider]

Let us know when we can buy.  My wife was in the biz (as both buyer and distributer), so I want to get her take on it!

Uh-oh..........
Sorry, my bad, Jenks...I forgot to notify you that we cant....PA is one of the six states which shipping wine into is completely, unavoidably, impossible to bypass ILLEGAL. As in 'felony'.
Sorry........
 

The rest of you, no problem -unless you are in the other five states.
The deal is still open: choose a three-pak made up of any one of our wines & get 15% off to help offset shipping.
You can choose between:
- the '06 Chardonnay at $16.00
- the '06 Kelsey Edition Pinot Noir at $24.00
- the '06 Sophie Edition Pinot Noir at $27.00
- the '04 Reserve Tempranillo at $29.00

Pick any three, take 15% off, add shipping and that's the price.  Shipping is cheap, 9-12 bucks to Cali, 16 bucks or so to the East Coast.  Send me a PM and we'll get it going. Payment can be via personal check or Paypal, whatever suits you.  There are already about 14 happy winos in STN...

Any shameless plugs from any of you 14 who have already had some?

I absolutely loved the bottle that I completely polished off way too quickly enjoyed in a civilized and meaningful fashion! Fugg ya! Waiting for the wife to open her bottles so I can suck them dry, too enjoy them in a civilized and meaningful fashion.

wow... that's great news Galo...

I hope that really helps your sales.... and perhaps helps launch you into a new profession

What are the other 5 States that illegally restrict our trade rights (ha!)?

Stop rubbing it in that you have good wine  
Horrible man  

[Headmanbrewing]

I am one of the "Gang of Four - teen" but can't give a review of the wines yet.  Life gets in the way sometimes.  However, I can say that Galo's packaging and shipping are exemplary.  It would take a hell of a hit to break these, and they showed up in good time.

Mississippi is one. My state demands I give them some money first. They must tax every bottle bought, sold or shipped here, this is in addition to sales tax.

What are the other 5 States that illegally restrict our trade rights (ha!)?

I googled this and found that's a very complex issue. Some states allow importing by mail/UPS/Fed Ex from everywhere, others only from certain states, and some not at all, and it all depends where the shipment starts. They've got recipocrity laws with some states, in which case it's OK, but they don't have recipocrity laws with others, and there fore illegal to import from that state. I didn't even bother looking how to import from another country.  

Apparently, all these import bans are old laws left over from the Prohibition Era and have only become an issue the past few years becaise of the growing popularity of small vineyard wines.

Will probably crack a bottle tonight.  Do you recommend the Tempranillo with a can of Stagg chili or Kraft Mac and Cheese?  Thanks.

[steve.ski]

I'm not surprised, Galo. Heather and I enjoyed the Chardonnay immensely the other night. This weekend we're going to uncork the Tempranillo.
