I’ll buy more if the winery lets me. It’s the old story which I loathe: Join the club and access these…
Yeah I am off almost every list now. Not sure what the mailing list price was for these but K&L has them now. I’ve found most of my mailing list wines there, the same vineyards and no min required. I kinda flipped on one list when I saw the same bottle, no min, since I’m close no shipping charge, a materially lower price and available earlier than it was to the list by months? Super unclear why I was paying and waiting for it. I’m sure there are some where it makes sense but it’s fewer and fewer.
@Norman Gennaro, I’m with you. There’s no wine strong enough for me to do that club shit - no wine. As you remarked, plenty of great wines on the secondary market. I already have 1K plus bottles in my cellar. It’s a crime scene already. I have no club memberships and never will have.

Dumol Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2017
So this was very subdued and a little harsh on the acidic part on day one, dispite the 96RP rating and descriptors of "explosive flavors". To me, I taste more like a streamlined/seamless chablis profile. On day two the stubborn acids have integrated and the nose is much more expressive. Palate is also hinting more towards premier/grand cru burgundy. But not quite getting there. Ironically the last few sips of the last glass were the best. This just needs way more cellar time. Next one in two-four years. 95-96 potential. — a month ago

Well presented nose of lanolin, beeswax and guava. Palate is quite dense and viscous. Moderate acidity leads into a delicately sweet, long finish. Understated, yet complete and integrated. Drink now or hold for a few years…
In terms of the bottle price, this wine is excellent. — 7 days ago
