Dear Steve,
Carolyn and I are very excited to be launching the maiden vintage of the Hourglass Blueline vineyard wines. A description of the project was sent in an email to you at the end of September, and we include a link to tasting notes on the first page of the offer.
Please note that we have made a very small amount of each wine available on a first come first served basis. The offering will close on December 12, and the wines are scheduled to ship the last week of February.
You have the option of noting additional requests in the box next to your ordered amount. These "wishlist" requests will be processed if there are any unclaimed allocations at the end of the release and will also be sorted on a first come first served basis from the time you place your order. Additional grants will not be issued until after the general release is concluded and will appear in a separate order.

Following the email link to their website, there's this:

This offering season will close on December 13 and the wines are scheduled to ship the last week of February.
Thank you for your continued support of Hourglass.
