I was going thru a Cost Plus last week and noticed that the current vintage
of RG PN that they were selling was 2002 -- I didn't buy any because I was
away from home and my laundry room (.. whoops cellar) is full of the 2001.
Has anyone tried this yet?? Or is it a really recent release?

Also. it appeared that the cab and merlot were being sold as NV. Don't know
if this is a change... I never paid much attention to them.

I just bought a case last week from Pop's Wines. Had a bottle the other
night. As always, the quality/price ratio was good. It did seem like it
could use just a bit of cellaring to smooth out. On the other hand, I think
I've been spoiled for Pinot Noir by all of the 1985 red burgundys I've drank
over the years.

I will continue to buy Rex Goliath.

I tried both the Cab and Pinot recently and found them to be as good a value
as always.
