[wine] Bacchus

Dear friends, Many of you no doubt received Mitch Spencer's 4/16/04 letter to the effect that due to "increased printing and mailing costs for our membership materials," Haskell's is regretfully raising prices of Bacchus memberships. I was curious about how many people, besides me, received TWO separate mailings (a couple of days apart) of Mitch's letter. Do you suppose we might possibly have identified a source of the excessive printing and mailing costs they've been experiencing? Perhaps they were distracted by the recent good publicity in the Pioneer Press, and forgot they had already mailed it once.... In addition, one might wish they would join the 20th century (let alone the 21st) and offer an internet-only option. Many of their members, including me, would prefer to kill fewer trees. Best regards, Russ
