Becklyn hits tomorrow (8/4)

I guess i should start getting used to the idea that there will be no second wave for new customers… major bummer

[Eric_Werner]

I missed the last offering (too late on the draw), and there is no allocation available for me just yet. Hopefully there will be some left over.

[Andrew_Demaree]

I’m in the same boat, Eric. Fingers crossed that there will be some cab left for the second wave.

I was allocated 2 last year, therefore I was excited to get 3 X 3 allocated this time around; It’s going to be difficult keeping my hands off of them when they arrive. It’s amazing to find a true reserve cab of this caliber from Napa that doesn’t cost 200 plus. All I can say is it is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had a chance to try the 2013’s up at the winery?

Tasted both and they are awesome. Notes here somewhere.

Looks like one of your notes is part of the release info!

[Brian_Tuite]

Thank you! Your order was placed successfully, and we sent a confirmation email to the address you specified. Your order history can be viewed at any time in your account area.

You guys are sneaky!

Thanks Matt and Amber!

Oh you boys, you boys…Yes Vinespring e-commerce opens early. I will tell you that as wine runs out the allocations might reduce to 2 of each. The demand has been staggering already. Mike and I continue to be shocked and humbled. This spring will have another big announcement on a new vineyard where we have acquired fruit. Until then

Matthew, I was surprised that you didn’t send out an e-mail announcing you were open. But I’m glad to get the allocation.

The email is coming out later this morning, a few of my little nuggets figured out the Vinespring system, it lets you in after midnight.

Part of my " undercover past work " !

I signed up fairly quickly last year and didnt get any 2012. Still not on first wave so i hope there are some bottles left for second wave.

[Brad_S_c_h_i_e_r]

Order in with wishlist. I have been on this before the hype as Matt is a friend of my sister in law (and a fellow Longhorn). Hoping to meet up when we head out early in 2016. Still haven’t cracked one open yet but living vicariously through the folks on the board making the early sacrifice.

[Ledwards]

Thanks WB’ers for the head’s up. Atleast the spread out ordering will ease the server load when the release email comes out…

[AlexO]

I’d be interested to learn if the allocation does eventually drop to 2 x 2 because they start selling out quickly?

[Mikhail_M]

Thanks very much for the heads up on ordering being already open!

Almost all in…

[ericskitei]

Order placed. Easy all in for me.

[Glen_Gold]

Glad I checked this before going to work. All in. Thanks, Mr. Denny.

[ericskitei]

Matt (or anyone else), how’s last years Sauv Blanc holding up? Thinking about finally opening it up this weekend.

[mrichey]

easy enough.

All in for me.

Seems strange to think it would be worth trying to change after actual order confirmations are issued.

Haven’t had it lately but based on the new oak it should be doing fine about now. In the '14 the extra year on the barrels drops the oak profile a touch and makes it more refreshing.

So far so good. We made it with 50/50 new French Oak/Steel Tank to provide some depth and allow it to age for a few years. There are a few folks that are holding, but for the most part everyone seems to have drank theirs. It’s odd because that wine has become more rare than the cab on some level. In looking at share growth in Napa Valley sb is having a tremendous year.

We wouldn’t change after actual order confirmations, it would happen in process as the day progresses for folks that hadn’t taken their wine.

@D. Richmond

It is open. You just need to go to the last e-mail they sent, and at the top of their web site, click on your e-mail address. Allocations show up.

Many thanks.

I owe you a glass!
