Why be a hostage?
I’ll pick up the BSR via retail. I can’t wait to try the “hints of soy, underbrush, and flint.”

Stalker, one is only a hostage if they don't want the other wines. I enjoy the 94 point Chardonnays. If you don't like "soy, underbrush, and flint," maybe they have some with a "nose of white flowers and tasting of drawn blood and barnyard." That ought to bring some joy to you.


Just one more sip.

Those don't look like hostage wines to me. I was offered those 6, just don't know how much to order.

I visited Martinelli recently and tasted the 2004's. I like Martinelli wines, but 2004 was not their best showing, especially for their lower end Pinot's.

I will bite on the 6 or 12 bottle offer, but I think Pomerollvr & GD have a good reason not to buy. They're expensive, and I don't like being required to buy all wines just to be able to get the ones I prefer. Yet, with Martinelli, I do it; and I'm glad to be on their mailing list! This is a conundrum for me!
