A '13 will by now. You can drink a lot of Peter Michael fairly young, but I'd wait on the 2012 if you have any.

Slim pickings this year on my Realm allocation. Houyi, Moonracer and Farella only without an option to wish list the rest.

I don't think I can message you but I would love to take one off your hands at $225, even $250. I think it is worth that all day and twice on sunday! Tell me what you need me to do.

It's currently wish-list only after htxag09 took the last bottle but I can request one for you.

My email is in profile.

Just very little Napa wine in 2015. Yields down 40-70%!

My poor folk allocation was just two bottles.

Just logged back on and now the To Kalon is available for me to purchase....odd but I'll take it. You can go down the list to the next taker....
If for whatever reason you end up with an extra, I'll still take it, but no need to request one for me...

Awesome. Ok, Taco Lover, you are in.

So to bring the discussion back to some sort of sanity (I kid), and I've been drinking a lot of Muscadet Sevre et Maine lately. For $15, you can get something that has some complexity, but still enough acid to be a good palate cleanser. It is the best thing to have with raw oysters (for those of us who don't have the budget to drink grower champagne), and goes really well with simply prepared fish.

Disappointed in the Realm allocation. I was online within 10 minutes of the release and most of the stuff was waitlisted already. Sorry BSD been a long week and missed your posts. Picked up only a few bottles here, but really looking for the Absurd when it releases if you have any available. Cheers!

Allocations are guaranteed. It was such a low yield that many people saw only wishlists with maybe a bottle of Houyi, Farella, and Moonracer. To kalon and Crane were way off and many didn't see those at all. Absurd will be November before it's released again. Sadly I passed on my last go around. At least I still have '13s and '14s (back when they were "cheap!")

Yeah, an "allocation" is just that. Yours for a specified time, one week for Realm I believe.

The lower yields, generally 40% - 70% (Roy Piper mentions in one of his videos being 70% down, i.e well under 1 ton per acre) have created some intensely phenolic wines, there just isn't very much of them.

I had a 2013 Acaibo today. Making a Knight's Valley cab blend at 13.9% alcohol and have it structured and fruit forward-ish can only be pulled off by the French, and they've nailed it. I had it at Bryan's on 290 in Johnson City. It was $98 on their list and about $75 retail, so kudos to Bryan's for having a very reasonably priced wine list.

Pott Wine estate wines are out. In a time when allocations are down, my 2015 Incubo number went up by one! Hooray.

However, I probably won't buy the extra, I have enough wine.

(Insert both happy and frowny face)

best food/wine pairing I've ever had was at Lillette when I had east coast oysters with a Muscadet. made me teary it was so good together.
