I hope this isn't considered plagiarism 
, but in a previous post Patman said...(and this is in reference to the date code stamped on the bottom of the bottle)

Be careful if you find some M02 stuff since some of it could be US made stuff. It must say made in Germany to be the right stuff. But all M03 and newer stuff has been made in Germany. (FWIW, M02 signifies it was produced in 2002, M03=2003, etc.)

West and North suburbs at least. The guy at AZ in Warminster told me the Philly warehouse had 35 cases back in Feb. but I tried 5 or 6 AZ's and none could order it as they claim the code next to the GC said it was not available for order any longer. Apparently the larger AZ's will continue to carry it but I have yet to find anymore in any of the AZ's in the northern or western suburbs.
It's funny but I started this exact same thread back in Feb. Here is the link
