Pretty reasonable compared to other lists I’m on, at least. Not sure I know many wineries shipping three packs for $12. And I believe they comp shipping on the cabs (or used to, at least).
Yeah. The shipping rate is just icing on the cake. I was quite shocked this list wasn’t full when I rejoined last year. I asked for extras in Commerce Corner assuming it was full before trying to sign up.
$30 for the SC is just kinda silly. Especially considering how long it’s been that price. I woulda bought more than 3 if I coulda.
In for my usual case and a half. These are excellent every damn time. Every vineyard, Sonoma too. At a great price. And a crowd-pleaser every time. “This Pinot is so good! I don’t usually have Pinot this good.” – from guests, every time.
Had the AV PN last year, really liked it. Was in meetings most of yesterday, missed out on AV this year. Bummer. Gotta block my calendar next year. Or better yet… “work” from home that day.
I learned that lesson this year haha. I got sidetracked shortly after the allocation went live and by the time I logged back in to place my order, the AV PN was unavailable.
I left nearly all of my SC bottles on the table for others. Since I am trying to save cellar space in 2019, I decided this year to buy exclusively Summa, Ox and Summa OV. I love these wines.
I have to say, I’ve largely abandoned CA Pinot Noir which is made in more of a “lush” style…that said, R-M Pinot is so effing fantastic I’ve actually started buying more of it than I ever have before (and I’ve been on the list since 2009).
I think this was the first offering from anyone where I just clicked the “Select entire allocation” button and went with it. The most expensive wine month ever continues!
