- One Magnum of Omega 2003 Pinot Noir came in a wooden box with two bottles of
Sublime Isolation 2003 White Blend and
three 750ml bottles of Omega 2003 Pinot Noir.
- Most, but not all, of these two wines were sold this way. Some individual bottles were sold to the
newest members of the mailing list because there wasn't enough of either wine for
everyone to get a full boxed set.
- Looking at the open box photos below, the one magnum of Omega is across the top,
three 750ml bottles of Omega are on the left (in tan tissue paper), and
two bottles of Sublime Isolation are on the right (in black tissue paper).
- One of the Sublime Isolation bottles was a Bordeaux-style bottle and the other a Burgundy-style bottle.
- The Burgundy-style bottle is the one all the way on the right in the open box photos below.
- The Bordeaux-style bottle is the 2nd from the right.
