Moscatto is pretty cheap and high QPR (if you like moscatto, i know a few people that can't stand it)

I love moscatto! It's a fun drink when you are out with occasional wine drinkers!

a little bit of a goose chase on the clues (not a clue..).

might have left you in the dried up mud on this one.

OK. How about Dessert Wind Winery

EDIT: I don't know where the "graduate" clue fits, though.

I'd say Adobe Road, but can't tie it to the graduate clue, and I'm sure we'd have received a racing clue at some point.

I looked at that one, too. But, decided not to post it for whatever reason.

But, of course, the winemakers did graduate from "garage wine" to a commercial winery.

Would you say they're "Road" Scholars?

Sorry folks... still new here. Woot cellars?

I feel that they are too small a winery to want to sell through woot.wine.

OK. so I'm out of italy...

... and back to dry creek. Stagecoach Cab anyone?

EDIT - it's $75/bottle from their site. I give up on this...

Domaine Saint George Silverstone

Parched of clues = Clueless = Alicia SILVERSTONE

Graduate = Reserve Wine? Step up from normal (as someone else put it)

W = George = St. George

Dried up Mud = They are in the Dry Creek area

http://www.domainesaintgeorge.com/wines/silver_cab.html

Cabernet Sauvignon
Chardonney
Merlot
Shiraz

Well, I really don't know anything about California vineyards, but I've followed the clues to some extent and will venture a guess.

Mauritson Family Winery

Mauritson Wines

They seem to be of the size and type that w.w might work with, and the winemaker is Clay Mauritson. Don't know where the graduate part comes from and haven't taken time to look, but they do have/source grapes from the Dry Creek valley. Sounds like they make quality wines, and Clay played for the Oregon Ducks football team in a Rose bowl appearance.

I got clay from dried mud and didn't really deal with the parchment clue either... too much for me to work with tonight.

So what was were the hints for this week's new reveal?

Epiphany Winery Spring Trio
Current numbers (updated each minute):

First sucker: MaskedMarvel
Speed to first woot: 0m 15.687s

Last wooter to woot: dakillawoot

X2!!!
I couldnt decide between 2 or 3, i hope this week is something killer so I dont regret not getting 3 of the Epiphany! I think Im going to make a rule where I just buy 3 of every one, every week so I dont have to question my willpower, or lack thereof.

And Im the last purchaser!!! This is my second, to go along with the first sucker on the Chaucer Mead Week (which was my 30th B-day present to myself). Someday I might have to double up and get fist sucker and the last purchaser...that will be a feat!! Dont steal my idea, its been patented.

"I think you'll find these parts to be pretty parched of clues for next week."
"Good guesses (in fact i'm circling the wagons on Dry Creek Vineyards) but that's not it. Perhaps you will graduate to better answers. "
"Basketball over. got the W. Speaking of W... "
and finally: "a little bit of a goose chase on the clues (not a clue..).

might have left you in the dried up mud on this one. "

So obviously Parched and Dried up Mud equate to Dusty, and the W referred to Washington, but Graduate? How we were to get to Dusty Valley Vineyards ....

Has anyone's order not ship yet? I received my first set, ordered a 2nd set but there's no tracking yet for that one.....

I haven't gottena tracking number as of yet. I don't sweat it. If you don't see a tracking number by this time NEXT week, then you should contact Service. Any time there is a woot-off, there is a slooooow-ness in getting the tracking numbers from Woot HQ.

I just got a tracking number today. It hasn't shipped yet.

I received a tracking number 2 days ago (4/2 .. ordered on 3/30), but it's still listed as "Billing Information Received". This was my first wine.woot purchase. Do these normally take a little while to ship?

If you ordered thurs-Sun it may take a little longer as the initial wine brought to our (fulfillment) warehouse was less than what ended up getting sold. Fess Parker is on the central coast and it took a couple of days to get the replacement pallets in. Most if not all remaining orders went out today (if not Monday).

Thanks,

Thanks for the update.

got mine, might wait for the Cannonball to get here before i try one.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but UPS refused to deliver it until I corrected the address.

For some reason, the label had my building # + office # and the line with the street addressed reversed.

Highly annoying.. but I finally have it.

first order, still haven't received, had my "expected arrival date" changed twice now. Its now set to the 10th. It's been in the UPS shipping system since the 2nd. Is this normal?

Also, should I be worried about overheating/etc after such a long delivery?

Ordered 6 bottles, hate to have them & my first experience @ wine.woot ruined by UPS.

Depends. How long has it actually been on the truck? That is, when did it actually get picked up? The Origin Scan was when it was actually picked up from Woot.

MarkDaSpark wrote:Depends. How long has it actually been on the truck? That is, when did it actually get picked up? The Origin Scan was when it was actually picked up from Woot.

lets see:

PETALUMA, CA, US 04/04/2008 5:39 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN
(Why they ship on a Friday late afternoon is beyond me)

so 6 days, roughly.

Just opened the gris for some 'white wine only' friends-- was a huge hit--- I am sure the other two will go over just as well---- /kicking myself for not getting 2!
