2009 Deschutes Abyss. The lines stretched around the building on the release day. Doesn’t anyone have anything to do at 2:00pm on a Tuesday? Don’t I have anything to do? Well, yes. I was planning to swoop in, pick up a handful of bottles, and be back at work within 30 minutes—just like I did at the Dissident release. Instead, I saw the line, circled the building in my car, wept, and went back to work. I tried again on Wednesday, and my plan worked like a charm. Two bottles for the next Abyss verticals at my family’s annual New Year’s Day tasting, two bottles for 2011, and two for 2012.
