2021 Scarecrow Release Protocol

Just got the email. No prices yet…

First wave?

We had a thread somewhere guessing at the cost. Has to be at least $600 now. May even be higher with 2020 missing.

First wave offer hits Feb. 28th.

2013 was my first vintage IIRC. Probably can’t afford to stay on any longer. Have to wait and see.

Yeah it is a tough call. I would presume it is more than most of us would like to pay for a bottle of wine. 21’ is great Napa vintage however…

It’s my last active allocation so I’m kinda hoping I can do some budgeting to remain. Otherwise,

:sob:

So far I am still a buyer.

Just got the email, it was delivered delayed to my server.

I am inclined to buy as well. This is another 100 pointer. Need to see the final all in cost before deciding.

Anyone know what they mean by “there are no allocations”? Seems as though they can sell out during the release period? I saw this during the last release too… I think I purchased immediately.

As said - first-come, first-served basis. Yes, it can sell out before your wave or prescribed timeframe. As mentioned 2021 is a low yield vintage. So if you are in the later waves, finger crossed!

Do you know when the first wave is? My offer is for 3/5

Geez, I’m sorry… It’s in another post 2/28… Please ignore.

You are in wave 2 unless someone else has a date between 2/28 and 3/5. There is another on 3/8. I would say if you want the wine to buy it as quickly as possible as Scarecrow is highly collectible even at its price point.

I remember this did happen for the 2018 vintage where it sold out sometime between wave 2/3 since it was a great vintage. It still asks you login during your timeframe to indicate a would-be buyer to remain on the list.

I seem to recall that when they first offered the wine (I have been buying since the 2005 vintage), they promised that they would never increase the price. I laughed at that but I bought because it seemed like a good idea. Does anyone else remember such a promise?

I’m scheduled for the March 8th wave. What was the last release price of Scarecrow? I don’t see this being within my budget.
