I'm trying to buy the Australian wine, Firefly, in the New York City area. I have been online and only found one place that sells it, BlanchardLiquors.com. Of course then you have shipping charges....

I've gone to the wine maker's website and the icon for "Distributors" doesn't work and I've e-mailed them but they haven't responded. Oh, by the way, do you know the name of the winery where Firefly is made? Miranda......yep, no kidding....no wonder they haven't gotten back to me.

Any other ideas?

Yeah, the shipping is what gets you. I found a place online that's out of NY, and they have the three different types of the Firefly wine, Chardonnay, Merlot, and Shiraz, and they're only $6.95 a bottle, but shipping is $10 each bottle! Damn.

EDIT: Ooh, ooh, I found one on Long Island, DC! Check it:

It says they charge exact shipping when they send it, and there is no extra shipping charges for packaging, etc.

Here's another one, in Yorktown Heights, NY, which is kinda out there:

If we bought a case and each person bought a bottle (I'm going to buy several to put in our wine rack and serve for company as a Firefly conversation starter.) that would keep the cost under $10 even with shipping. Do you think 9 people would by one bottle?

I don't see why not; if the NY 'Coats don't buy them, we'll bring it to the PA Shindig and sell it there!

Post this idea to our YahooGroups site.
