Rockfords discussion

[Buzzard]

I'll be in the Barossa next Wednesday - Saturday, Rockford on Thursday. Anyone else going to be around?

I'm currently in NSW.
Enjoy the lunch.

If you can go to a pub in ADL CBD send me a message and I'll tell you where. Being a pub you can't ring and get the stuff posted.

Hey Buzzard, for some reason I can't message you but if you could shoot me one letting me know the place, I'd be very appreciative (and of course next drink on me)

Welcome to AFF @SP2 . You have to make a certain number of posts before you can message - I think its 5.

I note Basket Press is no longer showing up in my online order form. Yes I have grabbed my allocation, but normally it still sits there indefinitely (and any attempt to add comes back with statement saying that have reached my allocation).

Anyone else still see it in theirs?

No longer showing for me either - it was there a few weeks ago when I was checking for new releases

 

[Buzzard]

IIRC the yield was low. Could they have sold out already?

That's the commentary. I suspect they'll release some (3 packs) for general public come March... but might go quickly

News off the rockford portal. Eligible bud burst can now phone up & order 3 bottles of BP.

Can confirm - ordered 3x this morning alongside a few other wines

Yep mixed dozen headed my way. With 3 BP and some BS thrown in for good measure. While price rises across the board I still think the rod and spur is great value.

The Cellarit Wine Catalogue email today lists some BP magnums - I wonder if they actually sell at these prices?

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2009 1500ml	95​	$975.00​	1​
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2011 1500ml Label: slightly cellar damaged, Original Wood Box	95​	$900.00​	1​

$90 BP on release is starting to stretch it for me but cheap compared to the secondary market.

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2008 750 ml	95​	$399.00​	1​
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2009 750 ml	95​	$388.00​	1​
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2012 750 ml	97​	$279.00​	32​
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2015 750 ml	97​	$289.00​	6​
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2017 750 ml	94​	$223.00​	6​

Not sure if people still are keeping tabs on this but the BP 2020 is sold out at the cellar door. As someone mentioned previously - the 2017 vintage is available for tasting and purchase (max 3).

 

[NoName]

Can confirm. Was there the weekend before last and grabbed a half dozen between Mrs NoName & I. $104/bottle.

Just got my Stonewaller order form for May. BP 2017 $104. 2017? Have I been dozing in the corner too long?

Interestingly, not showing on-line after I log in.

I rang them today and they said they have released some more. I’m sure it was in my newsletter but I may be wrong

On the order page? Not for me. What I'm sorta getting at is that this is a semi 'museum release' isn't it?
