Formula 2 Sale Update 

shirtFirst of all, the response we got from the Tribe regarding the Formula 2 case sale was insane. We moved over 200 cases in about 5 days. That said, we’re still sitting on about 65 cases, and would be more than happy to move them out. Just to remind you, case price for the Formula 2 is currently $100 until we’re sold out. Tax and shipping additional. While you’re at it, order one of our awesome new “How to make wine…” T Shirts, and we’ll throw it in the box with the case of wine. T Shirts are $15, and you can see what they look like on our Facebook page (search “The Meeker Vineyard” on Facebook). <--break->

April Tribe Shipment  

Next up, the April Tribe shipment. My dad and I blended the wines yesterday, and I don’t want to quite break the secret yet, but let’s just say that it’s going to be one of the more fun pairs of wines we’ve ever done. Moreover, they both taste really, really good. I’m very excited about this Tribe shipment. You can expect it to ship in the second half of April. We’ll let you know more and give you the billing/shipping details when we get closer to the actual date.

Lucas J Cellars Update 

Lastly, I have some exciting news. As you all know, I started my own label, Lucas J. Cellars, which is largely focusing on Pinot Noir. I crushed my first fruit in 2007 and even sent the Tribe the 2009 Vella Pinot Noir last year. Within the next month, I’ll be sending another email to you all announcing the final details of my own, separate wine club, which will send out fewer shipments per year than the Tribe, but with my wines exclusively. The details are yet to be entirely fleshed out (partially because I need to make sure I have some special treatment for Tribe members who join my club as well), but I’m hoping to send the first shipment out in May. It will likely be three different Pinot Noirs and one Syrah blend. I’m very excited about it, and the wines are all tasting really good. Send me an email if you’re interested in hearing more, or just wait for the official announcement email in a few weeks.
