I am open to trying something new....price seems fair, but I know nothing of this vineyard or winemaker..

And please let me know if this is not the proper forum to post this link.....I don't want to ruffle any feathers :-)

Thanks!

Not really a thought on the specific offering, but Wines Till Sold Out is kind of a mixed bag (as you would expect). I think based on some CellarTracker info that the price they are quoting is not far off of normal cost, and it's been reasonably well received.

A second to what David already stated. If you watch it closely there are bargains to be had for sure. Most however are close to what you can find the wine at through other sources. My brother has purchased through them 5-6 times and has told me that their service is very good. Wine arrives quickly, no damage.

No input on the specific offer as I don't know the wine.

I've never had that wine but Paul Hobbs is a pretty good winemaker.

Thanks...I cannot find this particular wine on sale anywhere in the virtual world other than through WTSO...

Then I would not hesitate to purchase here. I have shared two of my brothers orders and both were good deals and one was a screaming bargain. Its only a few data points but as noted before they seem to run a good operation.

I've not had this vintage or particular bottling, but the 2001 Laird Family Rutherford Cabernet was very, very nice. He is definitely a "New World" style winemaker, but if you admire at all powerful "modern" wines, I think Paul Hobbs is pretty impressive.
