Based on some eBob comments, I logged into my account and saw my new class and allocation.

It may not be final, but does show that the offer should come out soon.

I was offerred 4*Botella, 9*Southing and 4*Ten.

Easy WIML for me.

the 03 botella was $20, now the 05 is $39?

I'm allocated 1,4,1. Prices are probably up because the average auction price is up.

Ouch, doubled the price of the Botella...

My allocation as a C1 is 12/12/12

I'm a C2, allocated 4/9/4. I'll most likely be taking it all, this is good juice.

I will have some available for those "in need".

They lowered my allocation. Not sure why. I was a C2 last year. I didn't buy the extra wine when it was offered, nor did I buy the magnums. Maybe that was the killer for me?

No worries, I can't afford to buy more than the C3 allocation....they did me a favor.

I spent some time with Katie Saturday afternoon. She said allocations were going out today (Monday). I have not received mine yet though.

I tasted through the wines and they were really good. The Southing was somewhat angular but it had been in the bottle for less than a week.

Chris - there are always some strange allocation stories of "WTF?" Sounds like you are in that camp this year. On the one hand I'm sorry they dropped you from C2 to C3.. on the other hand, I'm glad you get to spread your money around a bit more.

I haven't bought any in three years and they are still giving me an allocation. I haven't received the emails so I forgot that I was on the list.

Ditto to what Winetex said. At those prices, I'll stick to my current gaggle of Pinot producers.
I can't believe I'm still a C4. I should be about a C23!!!!

Damn? This stuff is still right up there on my "must buy" list. It's a great drinking wine almost immediately and I have had nothing but very pleasant experiences with the older stuff. IMO the Sea Smoke Vineyard along with Clos Pepe and Cargasacchi are the finest vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills and among the best in California.

Just got the email.

C1 = 12+12+12

I'm in!

I'm a 4-9-4 I can't see drinking 17 bottles of this stuff, so mine is up for share. PM me if interested.

17 bottles translates to basically a bottle per month with a few extra bonuses. I don't have a problem with that.

Now, if I was C1, and had to drink three bottles a month on average...

my Pinot section is pretty full though, and Stef doesn't want any for her side, she's stocked up on Oregon Pinot's right now. I open these mostly for guests at parties, and even at that it's once every 2 months.

Just ordered my 4-9-4 . Only $1026.21.

what are the C3/C4 allocations?

(edit: here they are)

C1: 12/12/12
C2: 4/9/4
C3: 2/5/2
C4: 1/4/1
C5: 1/4/1
