Seriously? 2005 389 in a restaurant for $110 less Member discount $15 = $95?

Very nice!

Being used to quality restaurants making huge markups on wine it’s always nice to score a bargain, like when Diana Madeline was offered cheaper than retail in BNE.

Would love to hear about the Sami-Odi!

Everything was in balance once it opened up, I really enjoyed it.
