yes, these are the infamous high-octane CA cult zins that people go crazy for. i used to go crazy for them too but my tastes have changed dramatically over the past few months - i tried drinking a bottle the other night and i just couldn't finish it.

these wines are very fruit-forward w/ tons of alcohol (up to 17.4%.) they are fairly well balanced for how much fruit & alcohol they contain but they aren't a Burgundy. they can be hard to find - i've tried to price them just below prices i could find online.

(2) - 04 Martinelli "Giuseppe & Luisa" $50/bottle
(2) - 03 Turley "Toffanelli" $60/bottle
(1) - 03 Turley "Mead" $60/bottle
(2) - 01 Turley "Pesenti" $50/bottle
(3) - 03 Turley "Dusi" $60/bottle


these were stored correctly in my friend's cellar til i was "kicked out" this past Sunday. they are now sitting in a dark cabinet in my cool apartment. before that, i purchased them either a) directly from the winery or b) from porthos.com


willing to trade for French Burgundies of approxmate equivalent value. if you prefer to buy, we will have to figure out shipping. i am in San Francisco (soma) if you prefer to pick up.

also willing to trade all + cash for PS3 :P

thanks,
