Williams Selyem Offering

Anyone buying?

Their zins are awesome but I’m not on the list.

How many bottles are in this offering? What’s the over/under on >20?? :slight_smile:

I bit on 4 bottles today. I have so little room that I can’t buy very much from anyone!

1 Hirsch Vineyard
1 Rochioli Vineyard
2 Estate Vineyard

Thread drift - Also picked up 6 bottles of Ceritas Chardonnay today…

I just check “yes, please” to my notifications.

Only 19 different wines…

I’m too poor right now so must pass.

Anyone tasted any of these? I havent heard much about the '14s. Frankly, I think they need to pair down the single vineyard offerings. Just too damn many.

My next door neighbor always gets a couple cases. Had the 2013 Foss, Eastside road, RRV and Ferrington a couple months back. Foss was my #1 of the bunch.

+1 too damn many to do what I’d like, which is to get two or three each of my favorite SVD’s. Based on their allocations, they assume I want a cellar with one of each bottling per vintage. I’d much rather have a few from each vintage with fewer bottlings.

I’m with Chris and Eric. I didn’t find the wines, at those prices, to be something I was going to buy a lot of, and if you didn’t do that, you ended up getting allocated 0 or 1 of two dozen SVD wines, most of which you couldn’t really discern between, so I threw in the towel pretty quickly. But they are often nice wines which age well.

I’ll say pretty much what everyone else is saying. I was a regular buyer for years but dropped off shortly before W&S sold the winery. It was getting to the point where, even then, there were too many offerings that were getting too pricey. I’d want 3-4 bottles each of 3-4 different wines. They just offered too many…

Yeah, I think if my wish list items don’t hit I might throw in the towel. Too many good Pinot producers out there to deal with this kind of allotment situation. I don’t have the space or budget to go deep on the handful of wines I care about here.

Thanks all! I thought it was just me. I can’t keep up with the number of offerings. Wish they would limit to just a few vineyards.

Even though the Pinot Noirs have not been to the uber quality of those made by Burt up through and including 1997, I still buy a few each offering although some are stylistically very similar unlike those of his years.

i get between 16 and 24 bottles which is quite a bit fewer than my allocation. I have opened many within a 6-9 year period from release and been pleasantly surprised at the enjoyment I receive albeit at a steeper price point than most other Pinot Noirs I purchase.

The prices are dear, the wines are consistently excellent. I’m a fan of the old vine Zins and the Coastlands Pinot.
