The Booker e-mail said that the first-come-first-serve add-on allocation would go live at 8:00AM pacific time today (Saturday), but I thought I would just check it out early, and low and behold you are able to order the additional bottles earlier – 6:50 AM pacific time when I checked.
So I wanted some extra Fracture Syrah, put my quantity in and thought I would do a quick cellar tracker check on another bottle. When I added everything to my cart, the Fracture was gone. I am hoping that it was simply a live test and it will reappear at 10:00 AM, but after last year, I kind of doubt it.

How did you make out in the end, I ended up with a few Fracture EBA and a few others also, making up a case. It was more than I wanted to spend but I missed the spring shipment so I doubled down. I have also noticed I have been buying a lot of zin lately so I wanted to boost my Syrah stock, this has been achieved now with some Denner and Booker, also got the autumn Saxum shipment coming but that is for a few years away.
Been drinking anything good lately ?
I am so impressed with Bedrock, ive drunk the two cases I got last time and I am waiting for more !!! I have been experimenting with a lot of Spanish, Italian, Portugese ec to broaden my scope and I just cant get into them. I find them all to be lacking the fruit to match the structure, they can be big but no fruit ot kinda thin and wimpy. I know its narrow minded but I really do struggle to see past California with the exception of Port, Champgane and maybe a Chablis
I missed the fracture and just picked up some Vertigo.
As for wine, I just got back from Morocco, so for the better part of 10 days I was drinking a lot of Moroccan wines. They were surprisingly good, but I guess I should have expected it as most of the winemakers there are from France.
I did have a couple of knife forum guys over (knyfenerd and chuckles) and we had some Sandhi, Clos Solene, and Turley Zin one day.
