Wow..that is great news. I know all the units will sell, so the monastery should be able to pull in that extra cash they need. And what's more, those glasses would make great keepsakes...not many of those floating around.

Couple people I have talked to figure the cost will be around or over $100.

WOW! Very cool. I found the "gift pack" on eBay for $299.00 [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/limited-edition-WESTVLETEREN-BOX-6X12-bottles-and-2-glasses-/220889964962?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D220886402264%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4075598479712446022[/url] Does anyone know how to pre-order from Shelton Brothers Importers? I would love to get 1 of those packs!

Okay, I e-mailed Shelton Brothers Importers on how to pre-order a gift pack. If and when they get back to me, I'll post up how to pre-order from them. [:D]

I received a reply from Shelton Brothers and this is what they had to say:
