  Full Pull Eliminator 18, 4/24/2019

  (Paitin Barbaresco Sori Paitin) Hello friends. The Eliminator is back! v18.0 contains a set of nine wines, and they run the gamut in price, origin, and style. Based on the name of the final American Gladiators challenge (see link for an excellent example of the original Eliminator, and also for an epic blond ‘80s mullet), this is where we eliminate extra bottles that have accumulated for one reason or another (some reasons purposeful; others accidental/stupid/I-don’t-wanna-talk-about-it). A reminder: we handle this offer a little differently than most. These will be first-come first-served, and the upper order limits will be the number of extra bottles in the warehouse. So, if we have 15 bottles left, and you want all 15, and you’re the first to jump in, they’re yours. This gives slight advantage to longer-term list members. Our offers are throttled, and it takes about an hour to send offers to the entire list. So the old-heads get a bit of a head-start (much like the Gladiators Eliminator, but with fewer tassels), but list newbies will be nipping at their heels! Please note: we’re going to update inventory throughout the day via a linked PDF. Hopefully that will avoid the frustration of ordering an already-sold-out item. And with that, let’s begin.Offered in December, this comes from an old-vine, high-elevation parcel within the Serraboella cru, known for making structured, Barolo-esque Barbaresco. Wine Spectator: Copyrighted material withheld. Only 24 bottles to start the day (see updated availability here).

  Full Pull Friday Reoffers: Holiday Edition, 2/1/2019

  (Paitin Barbaresco Sori Paitin) Phenol55 REMINDER: Full Pull has partnered with Phenol55 for *optional* storage services for our list members. P55 is a full-service wine cellar less than ten minutes from our warehouse, in the subterranean basement of the Malt House in the heart of Georgetown. See here for more details, and then contact Phenol55 if you’re interested in signing up. ----- Hello friends. Each Friday in January (I know, but Feb 1 is within a rounding error of a January Friday), we’re reoffering popular wines from the past year or two where we still have limited stock remaining in the warehouse. These are all immediate gratification plays, with no long waits for the wines’ arrival. Today’s wines come from our year-ending series of instant gratification offers. The vast majority of those offers ended up allocated and sold out, but for a handful of wines, we ended up a little long. I know many of you opened these bottles over the holidays, so here’s one more chance to access them, now that you know how delicious they are.Offered in December, this comes from an old-vine, high-elevation parcel within the Serraboella cru, known for making structured, Barolo-esque Barbaresco.

  Full Pull Piemontese Gems, 12/17/2018

  (Paitin Barbaresco Sori Paitin) Hello friends. Today we have the latest in our year-ending Instant Gratification series of offers. These all contain wines that are in the warehouse and ready for immediate pickup post-allocation (allocations will take place tomorrow at 10am). We have just one more pickup weekend in 2018 (Dec 20-22), then our usual two-week holiday closure. Our first open pickup weekend in 2019 will be Jan 10-12. Last month we offered two wines from famed “Barolo Boy” Domenico Clerico and they sold out immediately. It was a good reminder of just how attractive Piemontese Nebbiolo is this time of year. So, when we tasted today’s wines, it was an easy decision. We bought out the remaining stock of both with this Instant Gratification series in mind. Both parcels are borderline size-wise (the Vajra especially). We’ll set upper order limits at 6 Paitin/3 Vajra, but actual allocations are likely to be more like 2-3 Paitin and 1-2 Vajra. Still, when it comes to these gems of the Piedmont, a little bit is better than none at all.Offered in December, this comes from an old-vine, high-elevation parcel within the Serraboella cru, known for making structured, Barolo-esque Barbaresco.
