My son just called, he's driving home after a staff meeting in the City. 

They rolled out 16 pallets of wine, that's 168 cases and said "$2 a bottle, no limit".  Ian bought 10 cases. SWMBO bought two from him, he gave two to his tax guy.  There was also a pallet of  free "Take this back to your people and see what they think, should we carry it?"   Ian grabbed a bottle from the Adobe Winery for me.  Only because of the owner's race history and shape of the bottle.  Shift is the name, top of the bottle is a shift pattern on a knob.

I have two photos but cannot load them for some reason, this is off the website.  Shift is $63/bottle but I'd buy it just for the cool bottle.

I have a bottle of that on my shelf.  It is pretty good.  The bottle is the best though.  I am saving it for my car guy father when he comes to visit.

The last time I paid $2 for a bottle it was Country roads apple wine and I drank it right out of the bottle sitting around a small fire in a field that's now a major mall.

That shift bottle is awesome. I looked for it online though, and it appears to be for people in a higher tax bracket than me.

$63/bottle isn't my bracket either. (though Domaine Serene @ $80 is my favorite).   I wonder if you reached out to the Vineyard, could you buy empty bottles?

I can't make a link from my phone but google Kevin Buckler.  He's an owner.

Just depends on how much you're drinking. devil

I won't ever drink them (2.5 yrs sober) but I'd love to have one of each of those for the man cave/ shop. Awesome display pieces.

 

I'd be interested in buying empties after you've enjoyed the contents, as well
