1998 Remirez de Ganuza Reserva

[Capocheny]

Hello E,

Thank you for the note... I did call the BC Liquor Control Board to ask about bringing in some of this wine on a special order basis. Unfortunately, they're unable to access any more of it from their suppliers.

As for the 99 Southbound... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] I have so much wine waiting for me down in Seattle that it'll take me more than a few trips down to pick them up. My Harlan's Estate wines get delivered to Seattle and I head down to pick them up upon arrival.

I usually try and make it over the mountain to Calgary, Alberta once ever couple of months. Their wine stores put ours to shame and, best of all, they're mostly privatized. As a result, they're able to bring in wines that we don't get out here in BC. Plus, their prices are, on average, 15 to 20 percent lower than ours. It makes the cost of the trip very worthwhile. For example, I bought my 2000 Bordeaux Futures there and managed to get a few bottles each of the Chateau Le Pin and Chateau Petrus. So, if you have the opportunity of getting into Calgary, it's well worth the stop over. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

I've managed to locate a few bottles of the 98 Rimerez from a couple of different suppliers in NY... they're just in the midst of confirming availability. If they're available... I'll have them shipped to Seattle as well.

BTW, have you tried the 2001 Valsacro Dioro Selecione? It's another Rioja and I've been told it's quite tasty as well. I have a case in the cellar but, since I prefer my wines with a bit of bottle age to them, I just haven't gotten around to cracking a bottle yet.

So many wines.... and so little time! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
