So I took the 'truck' over to the store where I bought the two Ramey Rochiolis yesterday. Today, same stack (one box with the top half cut off on two potentially unopened boxes). There were maybe 9 bottles in the open box, but only two were Rochiolis, the rest Russians. We checked the two boxes underneath--one held four Rochioli's and nothing else, and the bottom box was a full case of Russians. The middle box then was likely all Rochioli and only dipped into to refill the open box on top. I checked the winery markings on all three boxes; they were identical. The store, a local chain, had no idea what it had; they don't have any Ramey SVs in their inventory and in fact don't carry any chardonnay over $50. I was lucky to get eight. And yes I did drive to every other branch just to make sure there weren't any other 'mistakes' laying around. $41.46 ea before tax.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
