Observation (not complaint - we’ve beaten the allocation model dead horse enough) - I skipped my very small allocation last offered and thus far have not received this offer. Just a data point for those obsessing.
Edited to add - I jumped the gun. Just got the ‘Save the date’ note. Apologies.
I emailed Ketan about a week ago and was surprised when one of his associates said a release would happen later this month.
I’m also going to receive a guaranteed allocation this time around (signed up April 2022).
Very excited for this release!
It doesn’t look like he’s really doing a waiting list at this point. He said first come first served after the allocations.
I guess that makes sense because there will only be a small amount, if any, available so I don’t know how you would start from the last person to sign up.
Wasnt expecting a 21 release for a while!
I bought 4 bottles last release from left overs does that mean im in?
Probably
Maybe not for Jasud
have any of the big names reviewed his 2021s yet?
Yeah ill have to wait for jasud im sure
Ill be visiting a few days after the release. Im sure we will be trying some of the 21s. Should be fun to check in on them!
Anyone know what happens to one’s Jasud waitlist position if a long time Beta buyer skips a vintage?
I believe he took total support into the equation when coming up with the first Jasud allocation, not just the earliest sign ups. I don’t think skipping one purchase is likely to disqualify you immediately.
I’m imagining that it wouldn’t be a wise thing to skip at this point. You are on the list at least. These aren’t crazy expensive.
Except for high shipping, no reason to skip the Beta offer. Great wines and pricing per bottle. Shipping sucks for everyone now.
In honor of the release, I might open a 15/16/17 Vare or 2019 Montecillo. Any recs which one?
One of the easiest buys all year!
I opened a 17 Vare last year and it definitely needs more time.
I opened a 17 vare 2 days ago had half left yesterday. I enjoyed it a lot! But will wait to open my other bottle
Glad to hear it’s made progress!
