Wow, 17th vintage for me, hard to believe (though I think I missed one somewhere along the way due to traveling). One bottle of Platt. Given the limited qty, I'm ok with that. Ordered some of everything, really looking forward to the '18s!

For someone who's never tasted RM, what are the highlights of this release aside from the 100 pointer which I won't be allocated anyway?

The Summa, Summa OV and the Sonoma Coast are automatic buys for me.

Eric White

Make an appt. at Lewelling - low key, great people, great wines.

More V Madrone. Grabbed my first, a mag of 2010.
I hope you enjoy my bottle! j/k. As soon as it popped up I added to cart and went to checkout, but it was already gone.
2009 mag up for you now, I'll leave this one for you

I grabbed one

Nothing yet .. maybe next tier?
Holy crap it went to spam...

yep! I've been on the list for 10ish years, and the damn emails just started to show up as spam in my gmail account (same for Next of Kyn).

Eric White

Interesting - from the wording on the email offer, it doesn't appear to be a guaranteed allocation this time around.

So did this sell out ?

My offer still shows as available to purchase, so doesn't seem so.

Eric White

We opened our first bottle last night (with Flannery prime rib, no less) - extremely well done gents, the wine lived well up to expectations, outstanding!

Eric White

I really like K&L - good hammer prices, lower commissions (no commission if you take as store credit), quick payment.

Busy day, have any .375’s rolled?

a Sauternes a short while ago - only one I've seen so far

Eric White

I grabbed some of the '08 Core Grenache - hard to pass that one up at $12 bucks (love Core). I tried to snag a bottle of '05 Marquis Philips Nine for old times sake, but missed it.

Eric White

Buty Winery Rockgarden Estate Walla Walla Valley Red Blend 2014 'Rediviva of the Stones' up now for $23 bucks, seems like a hellova deal

Eric White

FYI, four of these wines are part of this week's K&L "Insiders Advantage" - I just picked up a nice mixed case of Colorfield, Aglianico, Carignane, Merlot, and Sangiovese.

Where’s 2 for 1 available?

Nick, K&L had the 2015 marked down to half price, they're sold out now.

Eric White

cheaper at K&L, Hi-Times, etc., with no 2-case requirement

Luca Maroni leaves Suckling in the dust when it comes to high scores.

Good lord, isn't that the truth! I thought James Halliday was bad!

Eric White

hum, I was (very) recently able to redirect a wine shipment to a local Walgreens without any trouble

Eric White

Just got my shipping notification for here in Oregon, due to be delivered on Wed.

Eric White

agreed, we blew through a case of the 2015 in no time - time to stock up on the '16!

Have shipments to Oregon queued yet? I haven't gotten any email notification. Are they sending out a note when shipping gets staged as they do for SQN?

thanks,

Same boat, still waiting

They do age nicely, and since you're buying a case you can follow its development over the next 10-15 years.

Agreed, I am only now working my way through my 01s and 02s, they are drinking beautifully.

Eric White

no-brainer, in for a case!

Eric White

I'm not selling, but wow - final hammer at Winebid was $2,550

Eric White

I don't think the urgency to order is going to be the normal going forward but I may be wrong. I think it is more because of the very low yields on this vintage: 2015 was a year that was marked by uncommonly low yields. By most vineyard manager’s standards, we always have low yields. We constantly ...

Eric White

order in for two boxed sets - a bit troubling that allocations no longer appear to be guaranteed

Not familiar with the brand. Are those NZ wines any good?

Arrived today, can't wait to try these! Thanks Steve!

Eric White

Mine arrived yesterday (a day earlier than tracking said it would, when does THAT ever happen?) - Thanks Carole! Very much looking forward to these

Eric White

my marathon wines arrived yesterday

Eric White

pretty much a snooze fest so far

Eric White

In for a case of both!

Eric White

Fine! You got me!

Eric White

that 1991 Phelps Eisele was interesting - a bit too pricey for me tho.

How much was the lopez? I already have about a case of the 05 Bosconia but probably would’ve bought more.
25 I think

correct.

Eric White

that spitfire has been up a lot... Same with these "Weekender Experience" wines, what the heck is up with those?

Eric White

I was pretty stoked to score a few bottles of the Lopez de Heredia Vina Bosconia Reserva 2005!

Eric White

They really are fun to read, which is why I was disappointed to have missed the mailer. The text you posted is pretty darn good, but if you still want to upload the PDF, on the post, scroll down to the "options" section, and click the "attachments" tab, the pick the file and upload!

Eric White

Thank you Charles!

would someone be willing to take a pic or scan the offer letter? My order is in, but I never saw the snail mail offer - always enjoy reading these.
