James, Phil Geary bought several bottles of the Mercante cab. He shared a bottle with me and Tim Scully at Tim’s house in Vermont. We are celebrating your fabulous dad and enjoying the skiing. Hope you are doing well.

I am pleased to be New York's exclusive distributor for this top ranked MERCANTE Napa Valley Cab.    - Anthony F. VINOFIAMMA

We brought your Napa Cab with us on our drive to Vegas and the corking fee was worth its weight in taste!  And our sommelier gave it two thumbs up!   - Eric and Naomi. Medford, Oregon.

The Fight of the Century was an instant classic at the time and will always be one of the greatest boxing bouts of all time. The MERCANTE wine very much lives up to this fight's legacy. This beefy Napa Cabernet boasts hints of blackcurrant, oak and chocolate on the nose with a very soft velvety finish. Drink it alone, incredible. Pair it with a steak, even better. I highly recommend this bottle…get it before this limited edition runs out. The only regret you’ll have is not buying more!
- Hubert C., Los Angeles, CA

"Sharing your wine with college friends lakeside up in VT on Lake Champlain....  Perfect compliment to our steak tip dinner after a great day of golf!!!"
- Peter A., CT

"Just want to let you know that we broke out the 50th anniversary wine special last night, with our dinner, and enjoyed it immensely. Full-bodied with a nice bouquet and really hits you in the glottis - like a knockout punch!"

Awesome wine, Jim.
I just clicked on the link and tried to order 4 more bottles cause it is so good!
I kept pressing the 4 because I didn't see the quantity shown. I accidentally almost ordered 4444 bottles for $300K! 
That much wine may even rival Larry's epic birthday party! - Ronald A.  Center Moriches, NY.

The wine was really great – we enjoyed it on Valentine’s Day with Carnitas tacos.  We both really enjoyed it and thank you again!  It packed a punch! 
- Sean B and Lori L Seattle, WA

I can’t believe after all that I didn’t tell you it arrived! I was away at the time but my husband was absolutely thrilled and sent pictures to everyone. We haven’t tasted the wine yet cuz we r saving for a special occasion. I think it’s the best gift I’ve ever given anyone.  Thank you so much for everything you did for me! I really appreciate it.
