Overrated & Underrated

Cpdunn -

My recollection is that you can only buy Dunn on release via mail order direct from the winery only. At least it used to be that way. Therefore, you have to get on their mail order distribution list. I'm leaving for Oakland tommorow on business and then to Vegas for CES. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to pick up the Dunn contact info while I'm in Northern Calif. Expect me to e-mail you the contact info for Dunn next week when I return.

Tenniswino,
Dunn is sold through regular distribution channels, I work for a fine wine wholesaler in DC. There also is a mailing list. It really shouldn't be that hard to find, the market for high end Cali wine is really drying up.

Tenniswino! That would be fantastic! You're a...hiccup...gentleman and a scholar! Thank you!!

I have seen the Dunn cabs on the shelf in Chicago. The Napa cab is not that hard to find. The Howell Mtn. can be found, but is quite scarce. Try contacting Jim Hightower, Bob Presley, or Todd Hess at Sam's. You should also check with Howard Silverman at Howard's Wine Cellar on Belmont. It would also be worth you while to see Andre Peters at Binny's on Clark Street, or Kevin Biegler at Binny's on Grand. I have, within the past few months, seen actual bottles on the shelf at Sandburg Wine Cellar (contact Alan Blum), and Randolph Wine Cellar (check w/ Perry or Brenda).

Fer Christ's sake folks, it's just grape juice!

Tenniswino -

The Caymus vertical tasting hasn't been scheduled yet - the wine is stored ~30 miles away, so stays out of mind most of the time.

I'll also be at CES Thursday and Friday if you'd like to do some wine tasting there! Friday's pretty well booked, but Thursday is open right now.
