How you like the free gift? I like their wine a lot....I get 2 shipments from them, twice a year. My son worked out in Paso so we visited a lot. Disappointed no "Fat Boy" this time....well hopefully in the Spring! Enjoy!
Wow, I never thought I'd find another Tobin James aficionado! Have you stayed in their B&B? For those that have not visited, if you purchase a case of wine at the winery, you can stay in their B&B, which is fantastic.
We love the current gift! Tobin James pillow this time that matches the Tobin James blankies we received on two prior shipments (we used the blankies for his and hers in the RV). We're also disappointed that Fat Boy was not included this time, but we drank the 2010 James Gang Reserve Syrah the day we opened the box - was absolutely delicious, and about as good as Fat Boy. One thing we noted however, is that it is best to drink the bottle the same day, because the next day it was not nearly as good.
I've devoted an entire rack in the cellar for TJ wines - which go back to 2003, including a few Fat Boys.
When visiting Paso, we always stop at the Albertson's because they carry most of the wines of the area, and their buyer has been quite knowledgeable. We've never left that grocery store with less than 5 cases of wine - good thing we travel in an RV
