Hi Ed,
Thanks for the suggestions. Two of the major wine/liquor outlets
in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area are having Fall wine sales.
I have both catalogs and I'll check for the wines you suggested.
If they don't carry any of your suggested wines ... I'll just have
to settle for a case of RG47lbPN. :-)

Thanks and Cheers,
Dick
