Same here...Sounds like a letter will follow that probably tells me I'm not getting any.

But if I do get an allocation I have more decisions to make. Would be hard to pass, I'm sure the resell $$$'s are great.

Fyi, Parker lists the price at $125 per in the WA but he's been known to be "off" in the past.

If you didn't get the same email last year, then your odds are too low to mention.  If you did get the email, then you're odds are a bit higher, but still low.  For now, I'll content myself with Corra.

I only received the "be patient" letter last year so I guess I'm out of luck...

No, no.  That's the one that I meant!  That is good.  You've got a 1 in 10 chance now.

Got an email. If offered, I'll give it a try one vintage. Not a second.

Yay!  With odds like that I can't lose!

Seriously, Dave, thanks for the info .   Just can't help but be a little sarcastic about my 1 in 10 chance to purchase...

So you are telling me there's a chance....  I am in the same boat as you.  I do not expect an offer unless they double the price (in which case I would want the offer).

Same here.  No way I'll even consider buying unless it's priced in the $250+ region.

I too got the very confusing e-mail that doesn't say "sorry, wait 'til next year". Nor does it say: "because the '05 vintage was bigger, we have set some aside for you." Honestly, I have no idea what it means.  Something like: "We sold out in 24 hours last year. But if that doesn't happen this year, there may be a nanosecond where you might be able to squeeze in."  If that is what they are trying to say, I'm not holding my breath.  If I get an offer, and it is really $125, I wil buy.
