Beta Fall Release 2021

Guess there will be lighter wallets next week.

New cab, Paratus Vineyard. Looks like Montecillo and Paratus as those are the only wines Ketan noted.

Email from Ketan!

Does anyone know quantities? (AKA, will anything actually reach those of us who weren’t on the original list)

Veeder fruit is going to be awesome!

I have not tried this and did not hear about it in advance.

Im newish to Beta as well and got the email. Does this sell out through previous buyers every time or you think there will be some available to new buyers?

Next week (?), my wallet is already floating like a feather from the last couple weeks. But, onward fellow soldiers! What is offered will be received.

It usually sells out to previous buyers and if not there is a long waiting list. When did you join.

maybe 6ish months ago only

Usually sells out. Not sure how much fruit Ketan got. 21’ was a lighter Napa vintage as will be 22’.

If you get the email to buy, I highly recommend buying ASAP before it sells out

Excited to buy these for my daughter who was born in '21

I was under the impression that we wouldn’t see a release this year so this is a pleasant surprise. Snagged some left overs last time so I should be locked in.

absolutely - I will. I would love to get some, long-time napa hobbyist & collector so very intrigued by Ketan and his story. I do have some DiCostanzo from Montecillo at least which is good!

The 24 hour hold for prior purchaser’s can be in your favor, since life can at times take a person away (work, family, etc) from whats really important for a day or so!

Anyone know how DiCostanzo style compares to Keta’s style?

I am surprised he is releasing the Montecillo now. We tasted his '21s from bottle last month and I thought the Monte was by far the least accessible of the bunch. The Paratus was great (sorry no formal notes as we tasting through quite a bit). I think he mentioned it used to go into Mayacamas.
