There are small quantities of some of our library wines that occasionally become available. For a variety of reasons, we start the library with three cases of wine. Over several years, that dwindles down until we get to the point that we want to have the final case for library and will sell off any remaining bottles. If a past vintage of wine is not on this page it is because it is sold off.
