Got the e-mail today that Sea Smoke allocations are up. For those of you who have not heard of them, check them out at: http://www.seasmokecellars.com/ They are making some awesome pinot noir there, and these wines are a must buy for us again this year!
I got bumped up to a C4 member this year, however, my allocations were still the same this year:
(1) Sea Smoke "Ten" $79
(4) Sea Smoke "Southing" $49
(1) Sea Smoke "Botella" $39
(1) Sea Smoke "Botella" $39
There has been some complaining by list members that the "Ten" went up $10 this year. No big deal...the way I see it, if you don't want to shell out the extra $10, then don't buy it. That just might mean more for us later when the have the "leftovers sale."
That said, if you are not on their waiting list, I suggest that you sign up as it is a 2-3 year wait currently. Also note that Kris Curran, the current wine maker has put in her resignation and will be going to Sea Smoke, but her assistant wine maker at Sea Smoke, Don, will be taking over at the helm. I am curious to see what is going to happen with their wine, but with the awesome quality fruit they are producing from yet young vines, I think Don is still going to be making quality vino! So check them out, sign up for their list, and when you get on and get your first allocation, throw them in the back of your cellar and forget they are there for a few years!
