Grabbed a mag of Rhad.
canāt speak for the rest of the lineup but 19 rhad was a gentle beast, muscular yet sensual
3 pack of KƤƤnnƶs and 3 pack of Rhad for me.
Have trimmed back from a lot of lists and buying in general, but these are special wines and outstanding people.
Ditto.
Iāve been buying since 2024 but signed up for TRES in March of this year. I was only allocated Kaanos through TRES which I purchased but was not allocated anything for the general release. It seems my allocation has declined since signing up for TRES. Has anyone else had this happen?
For reference, bought 2022 and 2023 kaanos, 2023 kodo and 2023 hiero as my last few purchases.
Not sure if this hold true for you as well but for me when confirming my standing allocation would have been able to add other wines.
I canāt recall but I assumed I would be able to add Ć la carte during the actual release as well.
When I confirmed my standing order last month I added a mag of KƤƤnnƶs.
You berserkers with standing orders must have done a number on the allocations/available wine. Previous buyer of an assortment of wines but was only allocated Rhad this go around.
That is very interesting. Where you signed up for the Tres or Duo and only received Rhad as your alloction?
I have no standing order. Just buy on the general release. I have noticed in the past the allocations are rather random in what gets offered. Sometimes I would get allocated some wines, not others even if I had purchased them in the past.
I took my standing order of Rhad and Anjea
Thatās why i went with DUO, so that id get a couple bottles of all the single vineyards. I believe thatās the point of TRES, right? You get 3 bottles of some single vineyards but zero of the rest. Or maybe Iām misunderstanding your question.
I thought under TRES that there would be at least one SVD bottling that you would not receive - you would get four 3-packs (a case). For SVD there are Rhad, Anjea, Kaanos, Aphex, and Kodo. Not sure how they determine what you donāt get.
Tres still has flexibility if you choose not to get all 3 of the 3-Packs which can open up opportunity for other wines here and there.
Really? So you commit to TRES (standing orders) , but youāre not actually commiting?? Iām super confused on how that would work?
Yes, as a āgeneralā pool participant, I was surprised I was allocated the Rhad this time, when Iāve never been allocated it before, but not the Sleeping Lady, which I have been allocated each year. I was a little bummed. Iām sure they are both good, but I liked having the small, but growing, vertical of the Sleeping Lady.
Is there a general hierarchy of the single vineyard KE wines?
I did the same and was pleased with the mix of Anjea, Kaannos, and Rhad
Great question, one I donāt know answer to.
