Rhys 2020 Spring Offer

[Scott_Brunson]

Anybody else overwhelmed by the size of this offering? I promised my wife that I would stop buying wine when we retired. Well, that time has come, but I did tell her the one caveat was Rhys and some champagne. At least I have until the 29th to figure it out.

Lol
Please remind me not to make that promise in a few years.

Peter,

If they decided not to bottle it as a designate, the Alesia 2017 Santa Cruz Mountains bottling got all of the Family Farm fruit (and likely is a higher percentage Family Farm than the other sources). Kevin and team could clarify, but maybe you can bargain shop on the Alesia front and get your fix that way. It won’t be a full Family Farm, but also won’t have the full price. FWIW, I like the Alesia bottlings in this new era, but have cut them from my purchasing to leave room for the designate flood we are seeing. If the cellar wasn’t overflowing, I’d buy these in case quantity each release.

Hi Fred,
We really weren’t happy at all with Family Farm in 2017 so the majority of it got sold off. The 2017 Alesia Santa Cruz Mountains was only about 5% Family Farm, the blend is mostly Alpine, Horseshoe and Mt. Pajaro.

Thanks for the quick clarification. I still endorse a strategy of buying Alesia to drink now if you need something Rhys-like at a lower price point.
