I had my first 15 tonight as well. 2012 was the year I really got into wine, so I’m still slightly weirded out when I see anything older than 2010 for reds and 2011 for whites.
Just got the ABC club shipment today and it included the 13 Santa Maria bottling Pinot. I had no idea they released their basic bottling so soon. You pick it up locally or thru winery?
I happened to be in France last November when Beaujolais Nouveau Day (always 3rd Thursday of Nov) came around, so that was my first '15. I’m not sure if there is any official release of anything that would be sooner than that?
Over here in Australia, we are just starting to see some of the 2016 Rieslings come out. Even though I know it happens every year, I still get a shock when I see one and we aren’t even halfway through the year yet.
