Dear Friends,
We are excited to release the first of our 2017 vintage wines to you next week.
Our spring release will be open from January 31st - - February 14th.
This release will include the following four wines:
2017 Trout Gulch Vineyard Chardonnay / Santa Cruz Mountains
2017 Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Chardonnay / Santa Cruz Mountains
2017 Occidental Vineyard Pinot Noir / Sonoma Coast
2017 Hacienda Secoya Vineyard Pinot Noir / Anderson Valley
We look forward to sharing these wines with you.
As always, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
John & Phoebe Raytek
ALLOCATIONS
Because all of our wines are produced in low quantities, allocations are naturally small. PLEASE NOTE, ALLOCATIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, so it’s best to order soon to avoid disappointment. The offer is open between January 31st and February 14th, or until sold out.
WISH LIST
If you would like more wine than you were allocated, please use the wish-list request feature. If we have wine remaining after February 14th, wish list requests will be honored in the order they were received.
What are the prices on these wines normally? I got this same email but with a line about how this will be my first opportunity to purchase after being on the wait list previously.
With Ceritas, scheduling is a challenge. I spent ten days in Sonoma in January and have another ten days set aside for February. Unfortunately, it looks like John Raytek is gone for all of them, so not much I can do there. What Vinous readers can do is let wineries - in this case it is Ceritas, but it could be anyone - know that reviews are helpful in making purchasing decisions.
They certainly seem to sell out every offering but its hard to say the effect of the critics because they have earned some hefty scores in the past which may contribute to the demand? Who knows…
