On allocated items, I scored a bottle of Sine Qua Non Dark Blossom Syrah and Stock Syrah on Tuesday...gonna lay those down for a decade or more.

As someone kind of new to signing up for mailing list and such I only recently signed up for a few. This Fall I was offered allocations to a few but only picked up a 2 pack of Scarecrow's M. Etain' 2013 vintage. I am progressively getting away from some of the larger US producers, i.e. I canceled my Cakebread membership and exploring varying regions focusing on smaller productions.

Just recently I traveled to VA and was really impressed with most all of the offerings from Linden Vineyards. Sadly they do not ship out of state.


Also, to the poster who mentioned the ins and out of the sommerlier exam. If you haven't watched the documentary Somm I would highly recommend watching. Futhermore, the same outfit who produced Somm will be releasing a follow out titled, Into the Bottle this November at the Napa Wine Festival.
