MacDonald | Beta/Jasud | Sandlands | Maître de Chai Wine and now...TIDINGSs! UPDATE FOR A TASTING NOTE!

I really wanted to go all in on the wish list, but stuck to my retirement promise to my wife, and unsubscribed instead. Hope you all enjoy. Maybe save a bottle to share with a retiree living on a fixed income. :crazy_face:

Definitely not jealous seeing everyone get theirs filled while I sit here twiddling my thumbs after submitting my wishlist request right around opening time! Nosiree, not jealous at all

put in a wish for 2/2/2 and got 2/2/1 (single cab). email just hit.
$53 for SoCal shipping does sting but excited to try and join the list

Well that went fast

And with shipping I am now the proud owner of a $108 bottle of Syrah! (Requested 2 cab, 1 Syrah). Ha hopefully gets me some good karma for next release!

Wish listed 1 cab and 2 each of the 2 Syrahs. Had the ability to wish list 3 of each, but didn’t want to be greedy. Sent it in at 8:15 a.m. PST and got confirmation within an hour or so that I received the entire allocation. I’m excited to try these (and hopefully lock in a spot for future allocations!)

Short story…bought everything last release and missed the email this go around yesterday til late at night, opened it and saw 3/3/3 offer to purchase and thought it’s late will take a look in AM and order. Whoops. This morning Cab was sold out and there was still some Syrah. Emailed Reid to see if it was indeed sold out and he let me know it was while offering to dig into his library for some bottles. What a guy, and although I politely declined, I missed the release it wasn’t Reid’s issue but mine, the fact Reid would offer to help was A+ customer service and truly appreciated. Know you are supporting a great human. To cheer his successful offer I opened a 2020 White Hawk Syrah and left it on counter all day.

@Reid_Griggs here’s the note: 8+ hours of air nose is a melange of cool red and black fruits with a touch of spice. Palate is black and red fruits with a big hit of dark cherry and raspberry, bit of white pepper, and a bright line of acid that keeps a very fresh palate. Well balanced and judged.

You’re the man Reid. Great service and great wine.

Cheers!

I just saw this post. As I have said before, since no one has actually met your wife, we think that you lie.

@J_a_y_H_a_c_k You have met her multiple times going all the way back to the Saxum dinner and most recently at the Atoboy Rieslingstudy!

Interesting, was going into Tidings account and validate my wish list purchase. Release page shows I can purchase 1 additional Syrah for each? My initial release offer only showed wish list available? Is there more wine remaining and available than purchased and wish listed for?

Double checked my allocation and I can purchase 3x of each Syrah now.

Sent a message to Reid to make sure this is not a system issue…

Good and it very well may be a system issue/mistake.

Just received from Reid;

"Thanks for the note. Yes, I’ve made some extra syrah available to those who have purchased as I work through the last few cases.

Thanks again,

Reid"

any one know if can be added to original order to avoid double shipping costs?

I’m sure you can message Reid about it even if it is.
