anyone?
Brunellos happen to be our favorite wines. We have quite a collection in our cellar. 97 was a great year, and the 99s are now on sale. Buy them in the states. Check out Zachys.com for deals. My hubby just bought 15 cases of the 99s from them and some he got some for around $27-$28.
We did bring 3 cases home from Italy 2 years ago, only to find that prices were at least the same if not better here.
