On Full Pull, to get the TPU pricing, do you have to buy a whole case of the offer or can you have say 6 of one, 6 of another, to get the TPU pricing?

After the Inauguration Day splurge, some economizing. This is very reliably good and can be found in many stores for $19.99.

Very well made but definitely French. Very light fruit, tannins a little of the dry persuasion, a barely perceptible touch of brett.

I believe you just need to either pick your wine up, or agree to have it shipped to you in full cases. No minimum bottle per order to qualify.

Edit:
What does TPU membership entail?



The term TPU (Thursday Pick Up) is a nod to our beginnings—when we were only open for pickups on Thursdays. Now, we are open Thursday-Saturday every week. If you agree to pick up your wines during our open hours, you are eligible for a TPU membership.




Shipping members receive TPU pricing if they agree to receive shipments in 12-bottle increments during our open shipping windows.

Yeah, that's the deal with FP, is the whole case shipping. Doesn't matter what's in the case, could be 12 different wines for all they care. Their shipping is not cheap though, $40 a case, so factor that into the pricing. I pass on stuff I know I can get locally, as when you add the nearly $4 a bottle, the price doesn't work sometimes.

Nice when you can pick up though

Good thing someone didnt downsize too much from his douchemobile.

Really great high performing champagne given those €60. Vintage '13

I see P’s lightly fruited Pinot and raise an obscenely bold S&M () blend. Really good, but doesn’t exactly approach with caution.
OM, didn’t at all register your splurge was Inauguration based. Thought you’d just decided to swing your Schwanz all over the thread...

@ericgereghty Do you only purchase wines with no text on the label?

This is an unusual blend -- 56% Syrah, 39% Graciano and 15% Viognier. It's intense without being heavy.

It certainly has trended that way as of late, but just you wait!

My Schwanz is tingling in anticipation!

2015 was such a great vintage in the Cape. This pisses all over many US (and French) Bordeaux blends at up to twice the price. @NJE66 just the two twonight.
