On wine lists or clubs, only one: Bedrock.
Some retailers allocate me some special wines like Gonon at true release price. Just lost my access, however, to Vatan, so now I’m paying grey market.
I do not sell wine. I buy them to drink and to share.

I will probably trim one or two of these next year. I buy plenty of domestic, but probably drink 50%+ old world wine, and that percentage seems to be going up not down… especially since Champagne happens to be in France
In about 12 but I buy regularly from Ceritas, Rivers Marie and Chappellet esp for Hideaway Cab.
Less than ever, but still too many considering the overflowing cellar.

Jeez, looks like I’m a board-favorite exclusive buyer. Most of what I buy is champagne, northern rhone and burgundy (mostly board favorites too).
I’m skipping a lot of these offerings.

Prior lists but no longer:
Too many to recall them all
I am on a few lists noted above, and have dropped a few also, but 2 that I am currently on and have not been mentioned yet, unless I missed them, are
Anderson’s Conn Valley
Robert Craig
Both discount to their club members and IMHO, offer significant value for very high quality cabernet.

Curious for those who are members of lists with long waitlists, like Saxum and SQN, are you buying for your personal consumption or are you buying as an investment since the secondary market is so hot for those wines?

I am on both. I only buy for personal consumption - though in both cases I buy some wine for friends who ask for bottles.

I receive annual allocations from some growers in Langhe (e. g. Cantina Bartolo Mascarello) and some others throughout Italia; producers I’ve bought for decades. This is as close to a “list” as I’m likely to ever encounter but most here probably already knew that.

I used to be on so many more mailing list, but over the years dropped many and only added a few.
My current mailing list are:
MacDonald

Wren Hop Vineyards
Carter Cellars
I was getting puzzled about not seeing Roy Piper show up. But then two mentions. Same for Greer. Also glad to see mentions of Lewelling.
Surprised by how many on the MacDonald list. We’ve got a lot of “old timers” here. Seems 2013 was the sweet spot for getting on their initial list.
I have trimmed it way back since we started drinking more burgundy & champagne…
Current List - Dakota Shy, W&M, W&S, Carter, Scarecrow, Bedrock, Patrimony & Maxem
Just Delisted - Harlan, Bond, Turley, & Venge
Two - Thomas, Corazon del Sol
Only one - Forge Cellars. I know I can reliably go through 18 bottles of their wine every year. Other than that, I like to leave room in my consumption to explore other wines.
A question for all of you subscribed to multiple memberships - what would you say is the % of the wines received from subscriptions that you actually consume, including wines received from previous years, year over year? (Put in other words, the net increase/decrease in your inventory)
