Same. More Syrah and no Mourvedre.
Don’t know if I’d be into it though, as I love everything Dirty&Rowdy does and lean towards Bandol more than CdP. But now I’m just being a sore loser.
For those receiving wish list allocations, is this your first year allocation? Also, when did you submit your orders?
Third year for me. Got the e-mail at 8:36 a.m. on 11/2, and my confirmation e-mail was 8:51 a.m. same day. Must not have been fast enough for the Mourvedre!
Can’t believe how many people here are tripping all over themselves trying to buy $90 central coast Syrah and Mourvedre. Why don’t you guys simply order some from Larry (Tercero) and save tons of money AND be able to drink them right away (his current releases for most Syrah and Mourvedre are vintage 2011)? What the heck is so special about Andremily?
Got a 3rd 3 Pack from my wishlist, but no Mourvedre. I ordered when the email was sent so my guess is that only those who signed up on the mailing list very early on were granted these. Hopefully I’ll try one though.
This is an internet message board and I am expressing my opinion. I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this.
And you’re wrong - this phenomenon of more and more higher-priced producers coming to Santa Barbara County has the effect of pushing up prices. It happened in Napa long ago and has been happening in Paso for the past 10 years and I’m pretty much priced out of those areas. How long before my beloved SBC is out of my range?
As far as not being invited to parties, you have a point - I’ve been bringing cheap wine and not getting invited back!
$500 Napa Cab: Small production, hand-crafted, top Napa single vineyard wines
$20 Napa Cab: Large production corporate-produced wines using lowest tier Napa grapes
$93 Andremily: Small production, hand-crafted, top Central Coast vineyards
$35 Tercero ($28 wine club): Small production, hand-crafted, top Central Coast vineyards (some of the same vineyards it looks like)
Not a troll post. Just a post from a frustrated Central Coast wine fan who is unwilling to pay triple for essentially the same wines.
