  (ROSSO dell'Abazia Serafini Vidotto) Abazia #2 Dear Friends, More insane pricing on Serafini & Vidotto's Rosso dell'Abazia. When we offered the 2000 vintage of this wine last week, I received no less than 20 emails from Italian retailers trying to buy the wine back from us. The wine is so revered in Italy that even with international UPS shipping (at $15/bottle), they could still make a significant profit. We had requests for the wine from at least 10 different countries and word spreads very quickly on the internet - I even had an email from Brazzaville, The Congo (certainly the most bizarre order destination I can remember). Here we go again... To sum this up, the 2002 version is another Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri and we have it at half price. Considering the demand we had last week, that's all I will say. This lot has perfect provenance, directly from the source: NO SALES TO ITALY (we cannot ship wine back to Italy): 2002 Serafini & Vidotto Il Rosso dell'Abazia (GR3) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Italy6550
