  Full Pull Reoffers, 2/15/2018

  (Sixto Chardonnay Uncovered) Hello friends. We have a six-pack of reoffers today, featuring some of our most popular wines offered over the past few months:Originally offered April 7, 2017, and we were able to grab a few more cases after this wine turned up in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list (#13). We have 99 bottles still kicking in the warehouse, and that’s all she wrote for this vintage. The Sixto label is intended to explore old-vine Washington Chardonnay, named after the musician Sixto Rodriguez, subject of the outstanding Oscar-winning documentary Searching For Sugar Man. Uncovered is Sixto’s gateway drug, a blend of each of the three vineyards (which go for $55 in single-vineyard form) involved in the project – Frenchman Hills (33%), Moxee (28%), and Roza Hills (27%) – along with a dash (12%) of Evergreen.

  Full Pull Instant Gratification 3 of 8: Top 100 #s 2 and 13 (+WSET UPDATE), 12/18/2017

  (Sixto Chardonnay Uncovered) Holiday Pickup Schedule REMINDER: Please take note of our schedule below for the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018: Dec 21-23: Open 11am-7pm Dec 28-30: CLOSED Jan 4-6: CLOSED Jan 11-13: Open 11am-7pm ---- WSET UPDATE: Please join me in congratulating Full Pullers Pat Malloy, Dylan Joffe, and Emme Brown, who all passed the WSET Level 2 exams they took in November. Well done, team! ---- Hello friends. As you can see from the schedule above, we have just three more pickup days remaining in 2017. The past few days, we’ve been instituting a new series of offers to close out the year: our Instant Gratification series. Today makes the 3rd in the series, and possibly one of the most exciting (and probably frenzy inducing). Like the previous offers, both wines below are already in the warehouse and ready for immediate pickup. No need to wait until mid-January; these wines are here, delicious, and looking for happy homes for the holidays. Whether you believe in it or not, karma can feel very real in the wine business. Obviously, bad actions can bring about bad results, but we’re not here to focus on the negative today. We’re here to focus on the positive side of Karma. Karma is really just cause and effect—what you do in the world impacts what happens do you. For example, it’s never more clear that we are doing good work here at Full Pull than when we receive access to highly-desirable, completely-sold-out, top-scoring wines.Originally offered April 7, 2017, and we were able to grab a few more cases after this wine turned up in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list (#13).

  Full Pull K Vintners, 7/28/2017

  (Sixto Chardonnay Uncovered) Hello friends. We have a K extravaganza today, with two new wines from Charles Smith’s family of wineries, and two reoffers for spring-offered wines that received excellent reviews from Tim Fish’s recent Wine Spectator set. With four wines on offer, we’ll keep the blurbs short, and we’ll get right to it:Originally offered April 7, 2017, and we were able to grab a few more cases after this wine turned up in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list (#13).

  Full Pull K, 4/7/2017

  (Sixto Chardonnay Uncovered) Hello friends. We have small parcels of a quartet of rarities from the recent set of releases from Charles Smith’s wine empire. These offers are notorious for turning into feeding frenzies, and this one – our first of the year – promises to be extra cuckoo given the wines involved and the parcel sizes. So let me first offer two quick notes: 1. To the best of my knowledge, we have retail dibs on all of these wines west of the mountains. 2. I suspect we’ll have to under-allocate here, given the parcel sizes, so a quick reminder of our allocation technique: Our allocations favor breadth over depth, so that everyone gets one bottle before anyone gets two. And our formula for prioritizing allocations includes overall orders, frequency of orders, recency of orders, and list tenure, among other factors. Now, onto the wines: Originally offered April 7, 2017, and we were able to grab a few more cases after this wine turned up in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list (#13).
