I received the email this morning that the Yellowtail booklet is now for sale. Staplebound, 32 pages and 5.5" x 8.5" in size. I placed my order.
Yellowtail said it will be sold to both active retail and supermarket folks, but not through any other channels. They are only planning an indefinite print run and expect to sell out.
Since we are Yellowtail from a land Down Under, we had to complicate things just a little bit more. Aside from the delightful “standard” booklets we also produced 150,000 of a COLLECTOR’S EDITION. These specialties will carry a special wallaby design, will be signed by Matilda and come packed in a gorgeous cardboard box along with a 3 liter bladder of NV Merlot/Shiraz/Cabernet/Pinot Noir named “Special Red.” This will be the only way this fabulous wine is going to be available. It is 94% Petite Sirah and 6% Viognier from our three Estate tanks…The Third Tank, Cumulative Tank 4 and Tank Eleven. Only 150,000 of these absolute beauties were filled. We wouldn’t dare miss this rarity.
Someone please for the love all that is good and hold sell me your Booklet!!!
I was holding out for my Wild Vines Blackberry Merlot allocation, but feel I can divert literally thousands of Turkish Lira for this once in a lifetime purchase…
Personally I’m waiting for the rumored Rudy K coffee table book filled with his ‘blooper’ labels - ones that didn’t make the bottles for one reason or another.
