As a non US resident it seems crazy to me. I could understand it somewhere like Utah but not Alabama. Next stop Islamic Republic of Iran!

I selected Cycles Gladiator Syrah as my pick for my column, Wine Line (Merced Sun-Star, Merced CA) last year. I love the label but the selection was for what’s in the bottle. An excellent Syrah and a tremendous value. Russ Winton-Wine Line

Let’s see… in the Lynyrd Skynyrd song “Sweet Home Alabama,” the lyrics diss Neil Young’s anti-racism song, then go on to try to justify Watergate.

Just sayin’…

Dunno if you caught that latest pingback but that was UCLA law prof Eugene Volokh saying on his blog, The Volokh Conspiracy, that Alabama’s action “Seems pretty clearly unconstitutional.” Interesting.

I heard about this last week on Morning Edition, and promptly put it up on the store’s Facebook. Several people came in later that day just to take a look and grab a couple of bottles.

I’ve been carrying the Cycles wines for awhile. They a quality-to-price ratio which can’t be beat!

I was surprised to see the Cycles Gladiator label in the first place. My father was in the bicycle business and, on a trip to France to speak to the Motebecane manufacturers, back four decades ago or more, found a cache of 1900s era posters and brought them home. The Cycles Gladiator poster was one of his favorites. It sat in his office for years. Now it is in my brother’s house.

He gets any unopened bottles of Cycles Gladiator that come my way.

And, the wines, esp the Syrah, have shown very well in my tastings.

Jeremy –

How odd! Like that porn star wine that got 90 points WA?

How to square with this? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18663903/

Thanks Philip for the reply. I am actually in Hood River, Oregon, which is about 60 miles from Portland or 20 miles from The Dalles. We don’t have a Whole Foods or Cost Plus here, I would have to go to Portland. I will def. keep an eye out though next time in Portland.

Thanks again!

Hi Sarah,

Yes, it’s in Oregon. Not knowing your location I can’t give you exact retail establishments, but try Whole Foods or Cost Plus. Do you have QFCs? or email info@hahnfamilywines.com and they will help you out. Thanks for your interest!!!
