Just got Betz offering and bought 3 each of:
2007 Père de Famille
2007 Clos de Betz
From their offer letter:
Looking back on 35 years of Washington red wines we’re hard pressed to surpass the 2007 vintage: it ranks with the best years for dimension, expression and complexity.
January is just going to be brutal with Rivers-Marie, Betz, and Rhys.
I fell off the list because I only ordered one vintage. What little I tried I was unimpressed with, but perhaps they just need tons of cellar time
I received an allocation and would love to order, but the 6 bottle minimum (for orders that require shipping) is tough to swallow on wines that run $45 and $60 each. I will probably pass, though if anyone wants to order through my allocation or share the order, please PM me. I would be in for a couple of bottles.
Passed due to the fact that I just ordered Carlisle, Coleman Nicole and Rivers Marie.
Hard pass, but didn’t make the must buy list this year. Plus Kosta Browne comes out on Feb 1st. -mJ
It’s the only Wa state wine I buy every time the mailers are sent.
In my post-Bernie world, the only wines I am buying are Betz and SQN. I love where these wines go as they age, and with just a couple of years to settle down you won’t find many more delicious examples in WA-state.
Would love to but I have no $$… Luckily I’m in this backwards state now so I don’t get tempted
