I don’t remember when I signed up, but it was about 9 years later when I got the same email…and an allocation a few weeks later. I’ve received allocations ever since that a fellow board member has been enjoying until I can convince my wife to ga back to work full-time. I’m hopeful that takes place once my son becomes a teenager in a few more years, as he is the reason she only works part-time.
I think Adam P might be confusing the “Sine Qua Non Note” yearly email that thanks you for patiently being on the waiting list with this “Still Interested” email that is making sure you are still interested and almost ready to be elevated to the active buying list. I checked and my last note was around this time 2016 so not sure if I missed one last year or what.
I think only the regular release syrah and grenache have been reviewed - both got 100pts from WA like recent EBAs but they weren’t the EBAs…Neither Jeb nor Vinous either have posted reviews of the EBAs. Seems like last year the 13s were all reviewed in Sept and 12s in Aug/Sept. I think the 11s were the last with barrel scores before release.
