GOING, GOING, GONE

The Last Chance Wines section represents our "tweener" wines - between a new release and a library wine. It's the tail end of the vintage. They are priced like a current release but have yet to become library wines. Next time you see them, the price may have  gone up - way up depending on the wine. Or you might not see them at all.  While it's tempting to go onto the new vintage, make sure you are not passing up a gem that has a little more time in the bottle.
