Never got one of those letters that I needed to respond to, but I have received e-mails offering 'grab-bag specials' for about $120 a case that have been outstanding.
Two thoughts here.

The first is that when you have wine shipped to you it is best to wait at least 2 weeks before drinking it. Wine needs to settle after being shipped.

Secondly, if you buy cheap wine you usually get cheap wine. There are times when you find that rare diamonds in the rough in a $10 bottle of wine but most of the time you just get a $10 bottle of wine.

Life's too short to drink bad wine.
