Just signed up for the list last year. Got an allocation of 6 bottles and was just granted my wishlist of 6 more bottles. Woo hoo! pepsi

Better keep the Ex-Lax away from this thread, because all the posters are full of Sh!t… hitsfan

As is this year’s price for the wine. $250 a bottle all in. Yippie. For sale baby.

what about Scarecrow gives it this crazy status? Will it definitely sell out at $225?

Chris we have already danced this dance, call me whatever you choose.
If I have to feel guilty to open a stinking bottle of wine it will almost always be a recipe for disappointment for me. I think that the people that own this wine simply intending to pour it to impress others are the one’s with problems not me selling it to the highest bidder. I am not selling the 04 and 05’s. Those I will enjoy. That is my new College fund for my son. Sell a couple of overpriced FG and Cal Cults a year and sock it away. It beats a 529 plan in a secular bear market. [shock.gif]

Actually - I could understand someone buying to impress. Client dinner, gift for said client - those that know what ‘Scarecrow’ is (I feel like it is more an entity than a bottle of juice anymore), will be impressed – and given circumstances, that may be well worth it and perhaps a cheap way of receiving favor.

15

I hear what you are saying Wil, but buy the wine in March 2010 intending to impress a specific person in say 2015?
Actually, Wil your Tasting note has put the sell 2 bottles affirmation in my head.

16

This is true for any number of wines. Take your pick:

Lafite
Petrus
d’Yquem
Screagle
Harlan
Grange
DRC

Does it matter what is in the bottle in my scenario? Not at all. Seriously – how many truly awful recent Silver Oaks have been happily consumed under such circumstances? See Opus, etc. – it’s not what inside that counts.

I hope for everyone’s sake that it picks up weight over the coming months/years.

18

My point exactly - Scarecrow is on this pedestal/level and even if the wine doesn’t perform to someone’s expectation (which it very well might meet or exceed), it is of secondary importance.

19

So, the people who shell out the $$ for these wines…are they thinking inside or outside the box. Are they members of the AFWE or the Anti-AFWE. This hobby is just so confusing these days. pileon [stirthepothal.gif]

Will, I agree. The lone bottle of Scarecrow (2006) that I had was served to me blinded, and I was unimpressed. Once I saw the bottle, the impression of the wine did not change, but the experience was elevated because I knew what was being served.

Similar thing happened at the same tasting when I was blinded with Ghost Horse. I really liked the wine and when revealed, the experience was elevated even more because of the hype that preceded it on the wine boards.
