Two weeks after announcing the release of their 2006 Bésoleil, La Serenne, and La Côte Rousse to their mailing list, the Betz Family Winery has sold out of all three of these wines. This is an astonishing accomplishment for the winery. Betz moved to selling their wine via a members-only mailing list starting with this release.

Betz always holds an allotment of wine back for retailers so some of these wines will make it to the shelves. However, in recent years they have been snapped up extremely quickly, so keep your eyes out if you are interested in them. Retailers should have them on the shelves by the end of September.
