Total Wine Pappy Offer

[Matt Latuchie]

Remember, they're giving "tickets" based on points, not spend. They're running a promo right now on Riedel glassware (among others) that awards 10 points per dollar spent (in addition to standard GR bonuses) - while these types of promotions may not give the low GR spending member an edge over the whales, it does provide a tool to level the playing field.

Buy a 1000 Riedels. Get points. Win Pappy lottery. Return glasses. Win

That's exactly right.

Ohio has a lottery too:

Anyone know when TW will start drawing names? Their e-mail just said February.

I called this week and there was no date set yet. Hard to believe...

Still no word on when this is happening? Getting ridiculous.

After 3 straight years of getting pappy 23yr I got two family members to get to grand reserve and all three of us were shut out. Very disappointing.

[Scott G r u n e r]

Got selected for a George T Stagg. Feel lucky and a bit guilty based on all the disappointed folks here. Granted it is for $135 because Washington prices suck.

[TifffanyD]

I also was lucky enough to score the George T Stagg. Price in FL is $115. I don't remember where I had put that in my rankings, as I was debating on several. Last year we got Pappy 20. For those of you who didn't get anything - did you rank everything offered or just some of them?

I did read the George T Stagg isn't as good as previous years but will still give it a try.

[James Todd]

I ranked everything offered.

[BenW]

My wife got rejected but I haven't got anything yet

[BenW]

And there it is... rejected. Between that and the changes to their en primeur, they've lost me as a customer.

[Jay Selman]

I got the GTS so it’s something Vs a nothing

[Albert_H]

*Edited* This was the order I chose and they gave me my last choice. Was hoping that 240k points earned this year would get me at least a 20yr.
1. Pappy 23
2. Pappy 20
3. Eagle Rare 17
4. Sazerac 18
5. Pappy 15

[JKim]

It must be a crap shoot. I was barely GR and was lucky enough to get WLW. I’m very happy but feel bad for the rest of the GR members that got shut out. Being Grand Reserve seems to mean nothing. Honestly, if they are going to use this system, then all allocated whisky including 4RLESMB, OFBB, PHC, etc should just be placed into the lottery.

I think you scored, the 15 is my favorite by a wide margin.

[Albert_H]

I personally preferred the 23 over the 15 that I had last year and the 20 seemed over oaked to me strangely enough. But I guess I’m in no position to complain though. I was really bitter last year because I was half way around the world during the release and got nothing for the 300k points I earned that year.

[BLittle]

i got the WLW. Buddy got the GTS and was disappointed since he had 50K points.

[NED VALOIS]

Son got the 15 !

[Albert_H]

Just picked up my bottle and looked thru the list of people chosen. There was only one bottle of 23 year and one bottle of the 20 year on the list, I was one of two people that got a 15 year. And this is from one of the better performing stores in SoCal.

[Matt Latuchie]

Got the Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year. Always been a fan and at $99, I’m a happy camper.
