Made Saxum list!

WINE TALK
1

Made the last wave of the Saxum list. Offered 4 JBV. Issue is I already bought some thru others… so spent my $ but will get a couple bottles.

Happy to add some more… great wine, great people running the place. Thank you Justin!

Does anyone know in future releases how does it work for me? The same, a few btls of what remains? I ask because if I knew I were offered JBV only on lets say next allocation, I’d get some other bottlings as I have thru friends… Anyhow happy to say Saxum is my second largest part of my cellar after Bedrock…

I made the list 4 releases ago as a third waver. I have been offered 6, '10 Broken Stones, then 6, '11 JBV’s, 6, '11 Broken Stones and just recently 4, '12 JBV’s. So if my history tells you anything…

I believe my history is the exact same as Michael’s. I know that buying your full allocation is the best way to get increased allocations in the future, but I’m sure it still takes time. I’ve taken my full allocation the last two go-rounds, so hopefully I start seeing some other bottlings in the future.

I got the nod as well- same amount. Good stuff. I can now happily lay off of winebid and send over the dollars directly.

Make sure you take your full allocations and you will move up the list.

6

I’ve taken my full allocation and I wish listed on the last release. So I have my fingers crossed.

7

How long were your on the waiting list?

Welcome to the family.

Congrats champagne.gif
Any word if they are fulfilling any wish list requests this go round?

12

Anybody who just made the list want to also state the year that they started their wait?

13

I thought I remember reading maybe by mid August, but not 100% on that.

14

Got a few granted, not all I wished, though.

15

I think the way it works is tiers/waves

You start on 3rd wave which gives you jbv in fall and broken stones in spring
2nd wave adds others
1st wave gives more again and magnums

I think as long as you buy occasionally you never get thrown of 3rd wave but you wont move up

Saxum is great juice and i have to say its my fav overall followed by a whole bunch of great cali wines from areas outside Napa, just to expensive there

16

Thanks. You’re in the first wave? I’m in the third. newhere

17

I don’t know, honestly. Been buying Saxum for a few years, some (few offered) mags also.
I’ll buy whatever offered.

18

I already had my wishlists granted, and I was in the wave that started last week. I think that was the 3rd wave.

19

I’m not that old but I feel like the guys with 82 Bordeaux with the $29 price tags still on them…bought Saxum in 2004 for $35 or $45, now they are $98, and still deliver the goods.

Did you wishlist more JBV or the Paderwski ?
