"Spring" mailer season wrap up - who did you buy from?

Dirty and Rowdy
Turley
Red Car
Carlisle

And so ends my spring wine buying though I expect surprise deliveries at any time plus WTSO buys.

Oops forgot Arnot-Roberts and Andrew Will.

I must have missed the Lagier-Merideth release. I’ll have to send an email. But after a very long wine probation period and the our last college tuition payment:

Bella
Carlisle
Red Car
Cowan Cellars

If “spring” = 1st Quarter, then…

Cabs from Rudius, Quilceda Creek, Myriad
Syrah from Quivet, Hp, Alban, Bedrock (+S-B)
Pinot from K-B, W-S, Rhys, Littorai
Zin from Carlisle
Chard from Aubert

Seems like a lot, but I don’t buy wine locally. Largest order is 1/2 case from any one winery - it all adds up to about 10 cases per year. Passed on R-M, Delmas, Doubleback, to name a few.

My Lagier Meredith buy was a Berserker Day purchase.

Where my purchases have slowed down this year are retail buys. Only 22 bottles at retail bought and paid for this year so far.

If you include BerserkerDay purchases, that’s where I got my Liquid Farm and Patty Green from.

Scherrer
LaRue
Littorai
Ceritas

I would have to look at CellarTracker to see if my most recent Kutch order was this spring or last fall

Hoping to go deeper on fewer lists in the future, but am still in discovery phase. Haven’t been completely ignoring Europe, but am focusing there for everyday drinking reds and whites with verve.

Because I like variety…

I’ve really cut back my domestic purchases this year so only bought a couple bottles from…
Arnot-Roberts
Drew

Like several others, I cut back significantly on domestic and picked up more Burgs, Champy, N. Rhones, and Barolo.

Arcadian
Patricia Green
Aubert
Liquid Farm
Shafer

Andremily: Purchased in Dec…

Passed on quite a few and will pass on all domestic next year.

Spring mailers. It’s a cruel thing to go back and count, but here are the tallies on new release buys:

  • 11 California
  • 6 Burgundy

The names have been withdrawn to protect the innocent. And the credit cards have been burned in a desperate sacrificial ritual to the gods of willpower.

Wait … It’s still spring … That means more mailers to come! Phew, kept a credit card it reserve.
