In for 2 .... passed on this last time around and was kicking myself.

so is syrah all we have today?

I just purchased the Pinot Noir which appeared before the current one on Wine.Woot. After I purchased, the Woot changed. How often does it change each day? I was thinking it was one product for the day but it looks like there are many throughout the day. I'm a new "wooter". Help me friends!

It's a woot-off...usually one sale per day but during woot-offs they do several 'mini' woots

This, my friend, is a Woot! Off...denoted by the flashing lights and status bar. As product sells out (limited quantities), they offer new ones. There's no telling how long a product will last, so indulge yourself and hit that gold button!

Great wine. open one two weeks ago at my sisters 70th B day,,,,, Big hit In for another # 8 this week

I'm new to all this and such.
What is the drinking range on this? Like open now until what year?
Thanks all!

'Bananas' means nothing.

Thank you! New to Woot. FUN!!

Glad to be back tracking the boards again! Thanks to all who have expressed interest in the wine. Looking forward to chatting with you all for the duration of the woot off.

A very happy birthday to your sister. Glad we could be a part of her bringing in another year.

neilfindswine wrote:...this, I suppose is true, so I will paste my notes from the original thread below...

"...Deep, vivid color, in spite of its years in the bottle. After a couple of swirls, glass to nose: aromas of raspberries and dried cherries, but an overwhelming note of black olives. Lots of dark fruit and a hint of sour cherries on the palate, with layers of spice, pepper, chocolate and licorice that resonated on an ample finish. Good weight/mouthfeel and nice acidity (again, in spite of its years), balanced with still-ample fruit and smooth tannins. As the last glasses were poured, we noted that the pepper and spices were softening to more of a sweet baking spice note.

Overall, a special, complex wine. Black Tie. Well done Mr. McClean."

Great tasting notes, Neil. Slightly more sophisticated than when I remarked that the wine is the "Big Kahuna Burger" of CA Syrah... "that is a tasty burger!"

Do we get 2 FULL bottles, or the 1-1/2 as shown?

I believe you get 1-1/2, plus a glass with a cork in it!

That glass has wine AND a cork, right??

I thought this might be the wine.woot.off killer, but as of yet, no BagOfCrap, what woot.off would be complete without the infamous BagOfCrap?

Couldn't help myself, in for 1. Cinque Insieme Syrah already en route.

The 5 pack of gazzi syrah and this did not have enough info avail for me to bite.
