Alas, I told her to hold on to mine until it is cooler and safe to ship. Enjoy!

I haven't heard from her since March or April, so just sent an email asking. I'll ask to hold for cooler weather as well.

She emailed me and I too asked to be held until cooler. So about end of October, I hope.

I’m fortunate to live just a few miles from her warehouse, so just came by the house after picking it up, on her way back up to Napa.

I’ll share back and early preview of the wines once opened in the coming days.. Cheers

No. Set it up with their importer. The importer found a local distributor and retailer for me to work with.

Thank you Eric, that's helpful info. I'm going to reach out to my local distributor that's listed on bon vivant import's, website. They have a 40+ y.o. white that I'd love to find along with that 40 y.o. tawny.
