  (BALIFICO Volpaia) Redux Dear Friends, A number of offers over the last few weeks have left many of you without an allocation – quantities have been tight and it’s been very difficult to get everyone what they wished for. Two items in specific caused a number of you to send me “not so happy” notes – the 2006 Faiveley Les Porets and the 2004 Balifico – both sold out so quickly there was barely time to blink. I was unable to acquire additional wine at the same low wholesale price but I’ve found a small parcel of each at closer to what they should cost (also with perfect provenance). Considering so many of you were shut out on the first go-around, I will pass along the original tariff on both wines as a show of good faith. If you have any interest in either wine, please let Nicki know at your earliest convenience (preferably this evening or early tomorrow morning – thank you in advance): 2006 Faiveley “Les Porets-Saint-Georges” 1er (Nuits-Saint-Georges) - LIMIT 6/person No, this isn’t Romanee-Conti but it sure is nice to have a well-made bottle of 1er red Burgundy (in the ) in the cellar; compare at in the US. 2004 Castello di Volpaia “Balifico” (Tuscany) - LIMIT 3/person No, this isn’t Sassicaia but it sure is nice to have a well-made bottle of Cabernet-based Tuscan wine (under ) in the cellar; compare at Both are FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to the stated limits until we run out. To order either of the above: nicki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to arrive in a few weeks – it is not a long-term pre-arrival (please check OARS for local pick-up after May 15th). It will ship during the Spring shipping season if weather allows. Out of state orders will be held for free under ideal storage conditions (56 degrees/70%humidity) until shipping is possible. Locals may pick up at their leisure. For current local pick up and arrival/ship information, please see your OARS link below (at the bottom of this offer) - don’t know how to access your OARS?
