I would love to have a bottle each of the Block 42 and Bin 60A, but I cannot find anybody in the Seattle area that can get it. From what I read they sold futures in Australia for the stuff (I don’t know what this means, but I wish I found out).
On the off chance that one of my 3 readers has seen this for sale somewhere (either in Australia or the US) please drop a comment and let me know where. I am prepared to pay around US$200 for it (which I have heard is about the price range, similar to Grange) so dropping 5 bills at an auction is out of my price range.

These wines were pre sold by penfolds and the bin 60a reached prices of over AUS$1100.00 per bottle pre release with the block 42 going for around AUS$700.00.Both are rated better than the just released Grange.On release they sold out in Austrailia at AUS$450.00 straight away. They have just been released in NZ and I purchased three of each at NZ$399.00 a bottle but quantities are so small I dont expect there to be any left.
