Who's in??? With hosting my son's wedding this fall, I'm in for 3 cases! Will be fun creating a label from their engagement photos or Save the Date pic! Thanks Billi and Pinto!

I'm definitely considering this one.
2022 was a strange vintage, but from what I gather probably a very good source from good growers, which the Rasa boys certainly use.
That sounds fun for creating a special event label. Musedir and I enlisted wadcorp to make a custom label (Two Muses, of course!) for us from an early Rasa custom bottling.

I already created a new CT entry for this new release and uploaded the back label. (In case that indicates which way I am leaning on purchasing...)

How did they get to VIII so quickly? I still have a case+ of 2018, which was II. Looking at the photos in the CT listing, looks like it went I (2017),II (2018),III (2019),V(2020),VII (2021). There maybe were some years when they released two versions?

I haven't bought any since the 2018 release. It's a good wine, I just don't need more, and I prefer to pay a bit more to support the Rasa Human[e] project which has produced a couple of top tier wines, imo, the 2019 being a stunner.

There were two 2018's: a no-#, and #2. I know CT shows a 2017, but that's an error that I'm about to report

I have a full vertical going for these, so it is not easy to decline

I'm going in for a six-pack, as per usual.

At 15.1% alcohol it's probably a no go for me.
