I love Vineland's cab franc and I've been wanting to try this, but the Magnum-only bottling, combined with the price point, makes it inaccessible. I don't want to take the risk of getting a corked $300 bottle! Also magnums are great for hosting, but as this is a complex, contemplative wine, I don't really see myself pouring it at a large dinner with friends.
Hi Simon - thank you for your comment. Regarding corked bottles, I checked and the winery would absolutely replace a corked bottle if that happened. Regarding the price, I neglected to mention in the video that 50% of the value of the wine is donated to charity, and this is a core part of the mission for this wine is the philanthropic side and giving back. That said, I do appreciate that the format and price point make it not as accessible as other wines from Vineland's range.
