Kudos to them for keeping their prices the same, unlike many others.
Hmm, have not received the email yet. Good value along with Nicora.
I’m looking forward to trying that sticky. I’m kinda bummed they switched to an actual allocation system last spring. Years prior, you could order up to 48 bottles of each wine, fcfs. In the spring, I got 2 bottles of Fracture and no Wish List fulfilled. I’m not a huge fan of 2 bottles allocations, but I’ll take what I can get.
I love the extended versions of all these.
Curious on other’s impressions of Remnant from the spring shipment. This once was offered at a discount when the Alchemist was still in the portfolio. Supposedly, last spring the Alchemist went away and what became of those fractions went into the now, new and improved, Remnant. I wasn’t crazy about it personally, I thought the old Alchemist was most definitely a better wine.
I agree I much more partial to the Rhones that Eric makes.
Is it a wine club now or can you order?
Petit Manseng?
They’re making up wine varietals now? Great!
Andrew, that Booker White that you opened for us in Maui in May was terrific. Do you recall what vintage it was?
I think it’s kinda ‘funny’ that ‘EXT’ refers to 24 months in oak - doesn’t really seem that long, does it? Just saying . . .
And I am looking forward to trying these wines - I’ve always enjoyed what Eric has done with rhones and I’m sure these will be stellar examples of that . . .
And his pricing, though still higher than others in my neck of the woods, does appear to be more ‘reasonable’ than others in his area.
Cheers
It’s effectively an allocated wine club. You get a standard shipment but have the option to order additional.
