  (Valdicava Riserva Madonna BRUNELLO) Piano Dear Friends, Two interesting magnums (that did not wine Wine of the Year) to round out the week - both of these are directly from the source with perfect provenance. The Valdicava is exceedingly rare in this format and the Las Cases should continue to increase in value for decades... Have a good weekend everyone - Both are EXTREMELY LIMITED at this price: 2001 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Riserva "Madonna del Piano" 1.5lt 2005 Leoville Las Cases 1.5lt (St. Julien) Both arrive at some point in late 2008/early 2009 (they are on the water now) - they will be available for local pick up soon thereafter and ship during the first available shipping window (weather permitting). Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy8801 Bord9131

  (VALDICAVA Brunello Riserva PIANO) Brunello Dear Friends, This is a unique item that should be highly desirable as the years tick away. If you own a cellar with the most admired large format bottles, this is one that will certainly impress. Only 18 of these were produced and 6 of them were culled from the very best lot of this 100pt Riserva and hand-signed by Valdicava as the epitome of the vintage (to distinguish them from the other twelve 3.0s). The parcel we have contains only those from the 6 "signed" bottles . 100+pts? If you demand the very rarest and the very best bottles that only a few other cellars in the world will possess, here you go: This set of 3.0 bottles is set to arrive directly from the cellars at Valdicava with perfect provenance - they have not been sitting on a store shelf or other. There are two other 3.0s available in the US, both priced at the $1500 level but make sure they are one of the 6 signed bottles before you purchase them (one is at Primovino in Colorado and the other is at The Wine Room in Irvine): 2001 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Riserva "Madonna del Piano" (signed) 3.0lt Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy6811
