According to my tweets with Josh Rubin (the Star), the palate(s) of Westy 12 were picked up in Belgium last week.

so...shipping, lab testing....mid-November at the earliest.

They are "pallets" not "palates" and November is a pipe dream...you're looking at January earliest and more probably February. Just an FYI.

Yes a pallet of Westy would seem quite heavy on the palate.

The upshot of the unsurprising delay is the Abt 12 might then be almost ready to drink, and you won't have to compete with people after xmas who are broke and in debt.
