...as a zinfandel afficianado, I'm on a few.
Turley - Been on this one for about 6 years and I get an allocation of the available selections twice a year - I just got the latest mailing this week and I'm up to 16 bottles. I suspect if I order more, my allocation goes up next year, and vice versa. Since there is a waitng list to get on here, I would think that if you don't order some regularly you will be displaced by someone else.
For the rest below, I doubt that it matters if you order every year.
Rafanelli - I order a case every year. Since I've been doing this for nearly 15 years, I also get a photo XMas card from the Rafanellis during the holidays.
Dowling Family - I order a half case each year.
Outpost - a half case here, too.
I used to order a case of Limerick Lane every year but can get it cheaper locally in the discount wine shops.
My experience has been great - it's the only way to procure some excellent, hard to get wine other than making regular trips to the wineries. I'm only an hour from the Napa Valley but the mailing lists are much more convenient - it comes right to your doorstep.
