Wow! V. Sattui! I was stationed in Vallejo during my Navy days (~1977), and I'd drive up to the St. Helena to wine taste (back then it was free). I remember starting at V. Sattui, and the winemaker himself poured the tastes behind a wooden plank counter. Now they have a giant sandstone castle, a deli, huge tasting room, and picnic tables outside. Great wines!

Judging from the pics of bottles people are posting the day after will be akin to super bowl Monday!

I'm starting to think this was all a play by Big Wine.
