My in-laws in California just received the 2002 David Arthur mailer. Wow, are these coming out early this year. It looks like the same deal as last year at the same price. Get ready for it!

Brettay,

It should be slightly different. Look here.

2004 Whirlwind Tour

Anyone interested in splitting the 6-pack (Tuscan Tour) or taking the majority of the case (Elite Tour)? I also have a magnum available! Please be from a friendly shipping state or willing to pick up the wine while visiting the wine country.
Cheers!

I'm up for splitting it. Email me at robmix@earthlink.net

Let me know.

Rob

I will be willing to split the elite tour from someone on the list if someone would be so kind :-).

Wow...just looked over Pyang's allocation thread. That's one heckuva lot of wine being offered.

Anyone have an idea of what the Elevation's production levels hit for 2002?

i'll take whatever i can get, i can receive it in buffalo, e-mail me at brian@briantaran.com

I just received my mailier. This is th first time for me. Has any one tried these wines in the barrel. Can you order both the tuscan and the elite tour. thanks jeff

You can only order what you have been offered.

paul@hockeyguy.com for anyone interested in sharing, my allocation is similiar to pyang's.

Has anyone in Chicago received their David Arthur mailer yet??

I haven't received it in Memphis yet.

I asked the winery to resend mine.

Tri Girl-

I got mine on 3/16 here in Naperville.

Welcome to the boards!

I just received mine today in Connecticut.

-Brettay

I just got mine today in NY. With so many mailing lists I have to drop a few for the next vintage. I spent over 5k on the 01's its either get a part time job or end a few mailing lists and I dont see getting a part time job. There is just to much good wine out there now.

I don't think anyone has mentioned that the release date for this wine will be October 2004

Prosp where in NY are you. Oct is not that bad you have to pay for Harlan and Bond 18 months in advance.

I'm in Brewster, I think we have spoken offline recently via e-mail.

Ahh ok yes we have. Welcome to the boards.

I have decided I will only buy one Tuscan tour...unless somone one to split the rest with me? You are in at list cost.

Craig@mhccom.com EMAIL ME today if you are from MN or on the border.

I have my allocation and need to decide in the next day or two...is David Arthur worth it?

The budget is running low and I'm not sure if should drop the money with David Arthur or spread it around on some futures (Montelena, Ridge, etc,)not to mention other mailers that will likely appear sooner rather than later.

Anyone taste the meritage and chard?

Hey FLA Vine...

I wouldn't hesitate to at least buy the Tuscan tour. I wish I could buy more this round. If you ever get to Napa, David Long gives one of the most fun tastings in an awesome mountain top setting...and the wines are a notch up from most too.
