1997 Gallo Barrelli Creek Cab

[mrdutton]

You mention Barelli Creek around here and the wine folks all gotta run to their 'puters and make sure I really know what I'm talking about.

No kidding. Went into a store the other day and asked about the Zin and the CS. The wine person there checked her computer and looked at me and said, "Well you were right, there is a Barrelli Creek; I sure am surprised about that!".

About five of the wine shops around here have "promised" that they will check with the Gallo Representative and then get back to me on the availability of the Zin and the CS juice.

Ain't one of 'em called yet.

In the meantime, I checked online with evineyard.com (they are legal in Virginia - they got a warehouse in Richmond!) and they stock a WHOLE BUNCH of Gallo of Sonoma and Gallo Barrelli Creek and Frei (sp?) and other specific Gallo Vineyards.

And the prices are consistent with those mentioned in posts here.

Well forget the local stores, I guess it is time to place an order or two on the internet.

Meanwhile, while the Barrelli Creek is on the way, the 98 Gallo of Sonoma CS ain't bad juice either for about 15 per. Can't wait to try the Barrelli.
