Laithwaites is a distributor in jolly ole.... and they say they limit sales to jolly ole only. See below:

Laithwaites supplied by Direct Wines Ltd.
New Aquitaine House, Exeter Way, Theale, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 4PL.
Tel: 0870 444 8383.
Open to residents of the UK only (excluding Channel Islands).

Here is what they have to say about the wine:

Just two vintages old yet already our fastest-selling Italian red wine - almost everyone who buys a case calls back for another one, two, three! The key to this addictive, mouthfilling richness lies in hand-selecting grapes from each vintage's top performing regions - revolutionary under Italy's rigid wine laws but commonplace in the New World because it makes such good sense!

Better still, such 'outlaw' wine can only be labelled Vino da Tavola - no matter how good it is - hence the low price. Today, many of Italy's greatest wines are made this way - the law will change ... in the meantime, fill your boots!

Top winemaker Gaetane Carron targeted ultra-ripe Negroamaro ("fabulous grape, bursting with coffee, herb and plum" - The Daily Mail) from Puglia, and Montepulciano from Abruzzo ("the hearty, ripe and warming wine Chianti so often fails to be" - Hugh Johnson) - for this seriously good red stuffed with generous Italian flavour ... 2001 is even richer than last year's sell-out.

Vibrant purple with abundant summer fruit and mocha aromas. Soft and supple layers of pure, ripe, cherry and chocolate build to a long and delicately spicy finish.

"If all table wines were as good (and good value), as this no-one would ever leave the table ... makes you wonder what all the New World fuss is about" - The Daily Telegraph

Don't know how you found out about this one, but I doubt you'll be able to get it in PA.

Sorry I could not be of more help. OBTW, you only need to post your enquiry once.
