Ravenswood library offer

WINE TALK
141

Yes, a great thanks to Joel – I admit I just went by the seat of my pants here.

Also want to note that there appears to be free shipping – so double thanks to Joel and his team!

142

4 cases later…I don’t even care if I missed anything - this is literally going to be drinking for the next couple years, such an incredible opportunity!

143

I have never purchased older wine, and given the winemaker and the story and the provenance and the pricing I figured what the heck and bought 2 bottles .

Same. I missed on most of the Zins because I was too slow. Still an awesome haul of cabs, merlots, and blends though.

146

Agreed, and thanks Joel. Can’t wait to pop some of these!

147

Free shipping ??? Not for me. Maybe depends on location and qty purchased ?

148

I got everything I wanted, I had to go back and process a second order for the monte rosso wishlist to process since it didn’t show in my original order. Crossing my fingers

149

I got lucky, was able to step out of the meeting I was in and got back to my desk at exactly 5pm. Didn’t have an email yet so just logged into the website and the offer was up.

150

Should add the most I bought of any bottle was 2 - vast majority were singletons of the $25 variety, which only makes this all the more fun!

We’re going to need a master thread for the Once & Future Ravenswood library release TNs…

Thanks for the great retrospective offer Joel!! Quick trigger pulling got the 4 wines I was wanting. All of these will be making appearances at the next couple of Old Vine Offlines that Brian Tuite hosts.
1994 & 1996 Old Hill
1994 Belloni
1988 Dickerson

152

I got a mini-vertical of Cooke, and a Monte Rosso, but missed the Old Hill.

153

4.25 and I passed on a bunch of stuff. And a good friend of mine got a shade over 3, so hopefully these bottles are sound. [berserker.gif]

154

Lost a few minutes as it did not seem to work on Chrome, and I went to Internet Explorer where it did worked. Lost a few items in my basket as you folks are very fast buying stuff! Seriously, like ninja fingers. I was able to snag a couple of the $95s and tried to rely on Joel’s tasting notes (super helpful), but then realized i was missing out on stuff, so just checked out ~a case. It looks like I was charged shipping on every checkout, so I was charged shipping and charged multiple times, so will have to get that resolved. There is some stuff left if you go on Internet Explorer now. I will probably add a couple other bottles to try.

155

Stepped away from my desk and quite a few things were already gone. Still got in for 15 bottles. Thanks Joel

156

in for 1 bottle of birth year zin

157

Case plus purchase.

158

Ultimately had to place three separate orders to grab 12 bottles. Stuff was disappearing fast!

159

Dude.
Hurts so good.
Kept it under 4 figures. #winning

1 Ravenswood 1991 Sangiacomo Vineyard Merlot 100% Merlot $45.00 each
