  (Guillemot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Jarrons) 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 offered a pair of Guillemot 2015s in December, and both of them ended up waaaaay oversold. As part of that shipment, we received a tiny bonus parcel of another premier cru beauty (from a 40-year-old, 0.24-hectare vineyard on limestone/clay/sand soils), too small an amount to include in a proper offer. We only have 21 bottles (see updated availability here), and I know there’s pent-up demand for this Kermit Lynch Burgundy mainstay, so I’ll leave it at that.
