I don't see the samplers on the site right now, but if you call or
email I bet they have them.
If you can give them some clues re tastes.

If they put you together a case, see if they'll do a "cheatsheet" for
your parents (grapes, etc). My friend Marc Hanes is working there now,
he'd give them tons of info.

Just looking at their "under $10" page, you could get a case & a half
of very good wines for about $180 with shipping. Took me 5 minutes to
pick these (take off 10% for case discount, add in shipping):
