No ‘17 mag for me, and I have been buying every vintage since the 1996. Sigh…
I DID receive an allocation of a 3 pack of 2006 for $4800. I think that I paid $2250 for three when it was originally released.
on the list since 02
1 Mag 2017 only…
On list since 1996 vintage - Magnum 2017 only. Does seem like a lottery based on above posts… Dave Nerland is the anomaly getting offered 2 different things. Other info - no letter. I also did not receive an email today. Was looking but nothing. Got impatient and went to site. Just went to site and ordered late in day East Coast time. Glad I went straight to site. I think - (insert shocked emoji here) $$$$
Another spin: for those receiving mags, had you been buying Second Flight? And how many took the Bonneau du Martray offer?
- On since 2001. No mag. 2007 wish list .750s.
Mag for me. I’ve purchased Estate since 2003…bought the first release of Second Flight, the 2010 SB…but none since. Never purchased BdM. Get offered the Second Flight every year…never the SB anymore. ![[wink.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/04707e6a7bbb03e0153e349d8a9270d30e1e9525.gif "wink"){kind=small}
Only the Estate for me since 1994. No Second Flight, SB or B du M.
solid spin.
Also no mag with 3x2007 wish list .750s for $6.600. Never bought Flight or Bonneau du Martray.
On since 1996.
No mag.
Wish list 2007 3-pack 750s @ $6600
Never bought Second Flight or Bonneau du Martray.
Wondering whether this could be an exercise in measuring level of interest at a substantial price increase.
Got 17 Mag and 08’ 3 pack.
Secondary market prices are still higher…
FWIW I have ordered all the 2nd Flight offerings (might have missed one vintage). Haven’t ordered BM yet. I don’t think either would affect the estate wine allocation. Ordered estate since '96… Got MAG '17.
It sure sounds like a lottery except for folks that got 2 offerings like Mag and 3-pack. Others who didn’t get offered anything and have been on list for awhile are probably wondering why.
It seems that it would be easy to figure out which earliest buyers have been the most consistent and offer them the Magnums and then dole out the library 3-packs down the line. There would be some folks relatively equal and SE would have to flip a coin as to who gets allocated the Magnum but we would never really know who sits where on the list.
Or I wonder if when SE was bought from Jean that the history of purchasing sort of begins with the new ownership and that changes the game.
Maybe the “waitlisted” folks will get their wish and SE is just in an early phase. I’m also stumped about not getting a letter or an email when they said they were going to send those. Strange day yesterday. It is a mysterious wine…
Curious:
Anyone know how many mags 2017 were produced?
Did Galloni comment on the wine?
according to the offer letter they made 600 bottles of '17 mags
Among this insanity I’m just curious. What percentage of buyers will actually drink this stuff? Anyone have any data/history/hunch about this?
I can only speak for our situation. We enjoy drinking Screaming Eagle on special occasions and we accordingly purchase the wine for personal consumption. We have never “flipped” the wine, but we certainly do not fault anyone who chooses to do so.

Got 2 mags of ‘17 and a case of ‘08 Only because I had bought so much pox’d Bonneau du Martray. 
This. Exact same boat. We have used it in a number of charitable situations where we give away dinners or tastings at our home that feature Screaming Eagle and other so-called cult wines. They are big hits and raise a lot of money for worthy causes.
That’s different than flipping for profit, obviously (and commendable), but it shows that the wine is no longer being purchased to drink, and that the price no longer reflects its value as a beverage. The price is a function of SE’s value as a symbol, whether of generosity, commemoration or ostentation.
3-pack of 1992 mags $600.
