Pappy Van Winkle and other Rare Whiskey Raffle 2018 Edition

We have a date for the Whiskey Reward Club Pappy Raffle now ---

This weekend!

Deadline for purchases to count is December 8th at 7pmSunday December 9th, 2018 will be the raffle and the first wave of emails will be sent.  There will be multiple days of emails sent out just like last year. 
Here is more info about the Whiskey Reward Club

The raffle is based on your purchases from December 8, 2017 until December 8th at 7pm.   Every $600 (average $50 per month) you have purchased counts as a raffle ticket in the weighted raffle.   Read more about that 


We cannot tell you how much you spent his year on how many tickets you have.  It would be too much to offer that for the number of people in our system.


Below is the list of Bourbon that will be in the raffle. The raffle is for a chance to purchase one of these bottles.

This is the plan, very similar to last year -- always subject to change.

We will start to draw names as soon as possible after the December 8th deadline.

It is a weighted raffle, for every $600 (average of $50 per month) that you spent over the last year it will count for a raffle ticket. For ease of explaining, lets pick an easy number like 200. Say we have 200 bottles of whiskey total from the list, we will divide by 5, which is 40, of course. We will send emails out to the first 40 names picked on the first day--we cannot be responsible if you do not check your email or if your email is wrong in our system, or if you are out of town. Those people will be asked to email me back a list of their top 10 choices from the list. We will start with the first name drawn in the raffle and they can buy the highest whiskey on their list that is still available. We will go to the next person and do the same. They will have 1 day to respond. The next day we will email the next 40 and do the same thing with what is left. If you were picked on the first day, but did not respond until the second day or third day, you will still get your allocation, but you risk some of your top choices not being available anymore. If you do not respond before the end of the fifth day and the last names are drawn, you will lose your allocation and we will draw more names. I will put more details (deadlines and times) in the individual emails if your name is drawn. Again, many of these are very rare and odds are not great. Please do not email or call each day to see if your name was drawn. We will not have time to take all of these inquiries. We will do our best to get a hold of people.  That is it for now....and Thank you for your loyal support.

We will post first name and last initial on the blog of people that have not responded.
Make sure you check your email during that time and watch the blog to see if your name is listed as not responding to the emails. The emails will come from paul@wineandcheeseplace.com - make sure you watch for that.
