Info on the Fall 2006 Kistler release is available at the Kistler website.:

2004 McCrea Vineyard Chardonnay, $60
2004 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay, $60
2004 Durell Vineyard Chardonnay, $65

2004 Kistler Vineyard Pinot Noir, $75

No change in prices from the prior year!!

The mailer should arrive any day, as it was supposed to have been mailed out today (6/30).

Anyone care to take a stab at what the allocations will be like?

3x Mcrea
3x Dutton
x Durrell
x PN

Maybe 4x? Guessing x=12 :-D

I already have 4 cases of Chardonney and 1case of Pinot, going back to the 1999 vintage. I really don't need more.

Pass.

Not that I can even do that, having been summarily dumped off the list a while ago. But I have plenty of Kistler right now and I can wait another mailer or two before I post a groveling 'Anyone want to let me piggyback off their mailer?' post.

If anyone is interested in sharing some of my allocation let me know. I likewise have plenty of prior vintages but would like to take a few from this mailer. I am looking for sharing 8 bottles or so to fill out the 12 bottle minimum order. I have been allocated 12 Pinot's , 24 McCrea, 20 Dutton, and 12 Durell Chards.

PM me if interested.

Anyone in southern California who'd be willing to share some of their pinot allocation. I'd be interested in getting about 4 bottles. Thank you in advance.

68 bottles allocated, let me know if anybody on the left side of the country want some. Didn't they typically offer the Sonoma Coast pinot on this mailer?

2004 McCrea Vineyard Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay 24 × $60.00 RP92/94
2004 Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay 24 × $60.00 RP93/95
2004 Durell Vineyard Sonoma Valley Chardonnay 14 × $65.00 RP91/93
2004 Kistler Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 14 × $75.00

I'll be taking it all and be selling what I don't want to a couple of local wine shops.

24, 18, 6, 6

24, 20, 12, and 12. Damn, I gotta find me a good fence, since I want some of it, just not all.

24, 18, 12, and 12

I go in with several people on this and am usually able to make the minimum order.

Same allocation as Prosp

24,20, 12, 12. I'll probably find someone to take a case and wait for the Spring mailer.

i don't drink whites.

am i crazy for passing?

I'll order 2 cases, probably all chards, and split my allocation with friends/relatives.

nothing like being in the distribution/retail business and not getting paid for it.

From their perspective, it's probably just a good business practice. They get full retail for a high percentage of their production. If you can do that with a 20,000 case per year operation, more power to you.
