We already did

I must be going senile

 

[Steady]

That reminds me, @blackcat20 we should drink that.

I’m sitting on 3, the 3 I’ve had didn’t seem past it so maybe it was a bad bottle? They are screwcap

 

[blackcat20]

Ours was also fine.

Is this to the general public or a second tier of membership?

Once you have been on the mailing list for a little while (1.5 to 2 years) with a history of buying their other wines they seem to allow you to purchase 3 of both Basket Press and Black Shiraz

Got an invite to Rockford - Tasting Australia lunch at their Krondorf Farm in April. Misery! I'll be away.

Meet at Rocky, go up to lunch, graze with matching wines, then back to Rocky for a hosted tasting 'by the fire'.

As a lowly mail order member I also received the invite

Got the invite too but the AFF wine tour goes there in April.

No such invite here....

Maybe it was sent to TV.......

They would do well to do that since I'm not on their list

Well I did put our order on his credit card

Just curious how much are you spending on their "other wines" before being invited to buy their BP?

I think you just have to be on the mailing list and you can buy when released to the public.

I purchased some wine at the CD when visiting (BP and BS etc) and also a mixed dozen over the phone 6 or so months later - a few RR, R&S, Moppa, FF, Riesling Etc, after the first year they saw I had a buying history and were happy to post out the BP (and BS)

The first time I enquired about buying I was told no. It's only after a couple of years of orders that I've been offered 3 each of BP and BS.

 

[Jay684]

I’ve just signed up but bought a dozen at the CD last year - hoping providing the receipt speeds that process up!
