How long were a few of yall on Macdonald's waitlist or Roy Piper's?

I found some forum posts from a few years ago saying people have been on for 7-10 years waiting
Macdonald's about 8 years. I'd totally forgotten about it. Haven't met Alex in person, but we've emailed and I've sent him some wine.

Piper, no wait list at all, uncertain there was one. Just emailed him, told him what we're doing wine-wise around here and ordered some wine.


Weird, I've been on the Piper wait list for years. I get newsletters but never any option to buy wine.

You onto the allocation list.

How was it? I have a 2010 and a couple of 2017s on hand. Can't recall the exact mix of those 3, but 2 of the 3 are the Merlot centric blends.

You beat me to it. Yep. He'll prioritize people that actually care and reach out.

Good info on Piper. I'll shoot him a note. I have also been getting the newsletter.

On Macdonald, I figured. I'll hopefully get offered before I'm 50!

Crazy

Honestly if you're on the list and signed up within the last 5 years you will probably never get an allocation. They have almost 100 % re purchase and they are not getting enough additional fruit to add many new members

When I talked to Alex last, he said they were still working through people who signed up in 2014.

Ha! I get that.

Father Time has to help though, right? Gotta be a lot of older guys that are buyers that when they pass their kids aren't into wine, don't have the income, or just aren't that passionate about it.

Speaking of Piper, I just popped the 2014 to enjoy with steak frites tonight.

Oh, Cade. Not wine related but I got some coffee at "T & Sons" yesterday when I went up there for a party.

The latest release was the first over $200/bottle, that may cut out a few. I don' think they really wanted to, but it is what it is.

I doubt it. You can get at least double that on the secondary market.

I have difficulty wrapping my head around Napa ultra premium pricing!

It would be a slight difference if any, but I think the odds are that at least one person says "at $200 I'm out".

Nice. Funny how T&Sons used to be a bunch of old guys sitting around complaining. Now as a coffee shop, it's mostly younger types sitting around pontificating.

Enjoying a nice quiet evening home
Alone (no wife, kids or dog tonight). Grilling a bone in ribeye over mesquite and hitting both sides of the wine world.

Ha. Being back up there brought back some memories, although everything completely different. Everything east of the square (where the feed store used to be) was unrecognizable. It was a quick trip. Blake turned 50 so I was up for his party. Took a NV Delamotte but my wife drank the whole bottle before I got a taste. Oh well.

Hosted our annual Christmas cocktail party/dinner on Saturday. Served a 2014 cab franc from Napa's Lang & Reed with dinner. Very nice.

We also served a Spanish albarino from Paco & Lola.

Christmas Eve is the go to night in most Latin American cultures.

Some ridiculously overpriced Anchorage Brewing and The Mascot. Yes I know never buy 2020 Napa but I am sentimental for The Mascot.

I bet that that wine was singing.

We had a sparkling and a Sonoma Coast Pinot with dinner tonight. Merry Christmas, y'all!

Opened a 2019 Rams Gate Pinot that was cooked. Poured that out and went to a 2021 Pinot from Kokomo.
