  Full Pull Eliminator 18, 4/24/2019

  (Saint Cosme Cote Rotie) 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.We do so well with Saint Cosme’s 100% Syrah Cotes-du-Rhone each year that we were offered a tiny jewel of a parcel: 2 cases (see updated availability here) of Louis Barroul’s Cote Rotie, his highest expression of Syrah. I’ve tasted a number of vintages over the years, and it is always a star, with dazzling funky/meaty/floral aromatics and breathtaking purity. I only wish we had more so we could feature it in a proper offer. Alas, it will instead serve as our grand the finale for today’s Eliminator.
