Way to go SB and kolen for correctly guessing this week's offer (first half anyway -- Ooooh!)

this is the same group that does the mead?

Did you catch him? The hick?

Interested in the pomegranate...but I don't think I need 4 bottles of dessert wine. Sort of on the fence on this one...

Corrado, are you sure that your CT link (to the non-vintage) is correct? The Olallieberry was harvested in Oct '06, and CT says that you should drink the NV between '04 and '05.

Also, is there a vintage for the pomegranate or is it NV as well?

Yes, sure is. I bought the Mead and Raspberry in the woot off and loved them both. I'm really looking forward to tasting the Pomegranate! yum!

Ooooo, Is this heaven?

I'm in for one. Lab rat, maybe?

That's just low...

Funny, I have a recipe for homemade fruit wine that an old professor of mine gave to me. He got it from his grandfather and it works quite well in making sweet homemade country fruit wine out of any fermentable fruit. Anyway, when I was doing my grocery shopping about a month ago, I saw the pomegranates and wondered if they would make a good wine, seeing as I had never seen Pomegranate wine before... Now I get my answer! And I'm sure the Chaucer version is much better than anything I could cook up!

I want to order this one, but where is the PayPal option?

I"m here to help!

I had both the regular mead and the raspberry mead. I thought the raspberry was too fruity, too sweet, and somewhat cloying. It tasted like raspberry syrup, but it certainly was far from the worst dessert wine I've ever had, but I don't have a huge sweet tooth.

On the other hand, the regular mead was a truly excellent dessert wine. It was sweet without being overwhelming, it really let the honey speak for itself. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

As for these, never had them, but I honestly perked up when the page loaded. Account balance will likely be the determining factor in this purchase.

Where's the feet? is this? When i think dessert wine this is the farthest from my mind.

My roommate made a pomegranate wine a long time ago that turned out quite nice, but was definitely not sweet enough to be a dessert wine...and needed to be aged about a year before it stopped tasting like jet fuel.

The olallieberry or whatever it is sounds very tasty, and I'll probably order some in the morning.

It's my birthday today, and my dad gave me two 2001 Brunello and what looks like a decent bottle of port, so I'm ecstatic :D.

My brother Loweeel is the nicest guy. But after meeting him you'd never know it.

i had wheat wine from Rubicon the other night. GAG jet fuel.

So how 'bout this being only a two-day wine woot?! I guess that means Lab Rats are an impossability. Any ideas on what might be wooted come wednesday?

I find it troubling that after well over an hour, the mods have only found one quality post among this veritable plethora of wisdom...

Quality posts:
(12:19 AM) superspryte checks out the winery website.

Seriously guys, just the one? We must be reading different forums; that's all I have to say about that. Because from where I sit there have been several genius posts. Nonetheless, congrats to superspryte and thanks for keeping us from a null on the quality post quotient. Although since the roomba has like a dozen quality posts, I have to assume we are being graded on a curve...

Can this wine be purchased by those under 21 year of age? It doesn't have any restrictions in the description or anywhere on the main page.

Use PayPal's virtual credit card. Worked like a charm. Thank you PayPal.

The Olallieberry Wine is very good....not as sweet as some may expect. Bargetto's has a pretty good reputation for their fruit (and grape) wines. The Pomegranate wine, I believe is new this year (or more accurately, they haven't made Pomegranate wine for a while)).

What's an "Olallieberry"?

edit:
nevermind
It helps to read the description.

Cool, that's grown right down highway 1 from me, about 10 minutes :P
