Same!

They have been doing half bottle in RR and BP for a long time - last year was just the first in their propriotory/bespoke shape bottle - I guess I just assumed the 2019 would have already been bottled before they became aware of the issue

Got my order in

I noticed the Dry Country didn't update from 2017, does that get released at a different time?

First year as a Stonewaller so I'm not 100% sure on the timings now.

I just tried to order a dozen Alicante Bouchet but it doesn't come up in the options. Do any of the Stonewallers have access to it or is there just not any available?

I bought some the other day.

I also bought a dozen of the 2022 Alicante. Before the store updated at the start of October I was still able to order 18 more of the 2021 Alicante, so they may have stock of both. Might be worth calling them?

Interestingly, the paper order form doesn't have max allocations for some wines but the online form does (i.e. AB and RR).

I ended up ringing them and as always their customer service is first class. She didn't know why I couldn't order them online but was able to sort it

There is a pub in ADL that is selling 18 Basket Press for $105.00
Quite the bargain in my opinion.

Bar near my office (in ADL) has always had the BP sub $100. Will have to check again.

Sounds like my sort of bar.

I pulled out a 2011 BP for my brother in laws birthday the other week. Surprisingly, survived my poor cellar, very well.

Spotted in Bangkok duty free.

That's ฿1650 Moppa, ฿2650 Rifle Range & ฿3300 Basket Press.

I was told on the phone this morning there will be no half bottles RR or BP until the '21 vintage

tWF has just posted reviews on some of the current releases - their favourite was the Rod & Spur, and least favourite the Black Shiraz - BP and RR in the middle with RR rated a smidge over the BP

Nothing adverse re the Basket Case?

Said something alon the lines of a solid release but not stellar
