Default Pruett Vineyard wine incoming?

Got a tracking number e-mail from a shipping company at an e-mail address I have only used for communications with Lexus regarding the LFA. This threw me for a loop because obviously I never ordered anything using this e-mail (well other than the LFA I guess) - I even thought it might be spam or a phishing attempt. Well, I did some snooping around on the addresses and companies involved and it seems the package origin is a distributor that works closely with Pruett Vineyard! Any guesses on what it is? The infamous LFA bottle to match production? Maybe some other goodies? I'll let you know when I get it.

Yes, but it costs around 375K, and yes you get a Lexus with the wine.

The car is great. I haven't driven it particularly hard or anything, but it's proving better than even I expected in pretty much every way.

Couple quick pics of the wine - it's the limited edition LFA cab. Came in a cool velvet bag embroidered with the Pruett Vineyard and LFA logos.



Accompanying the wine was a personally-addressed, hand-written note from Scott Pruett, which was a nice touch. The bottle itself is also autographed as we've seen in previous pictures of the wine.

This is a dilemma for me. I am an avid wine drinker (note drinker, not collector), but this seems like something that should be collected. Hrmmmmmmm...
