Along with the Alabama wine, there is Wallace wine of Iowa. Vizzini was of course played by Wallace Shawn.

Or might we be going down under? I see there's a Glaetzer Wallace, but I'm too lazy to research it.

Or, since WD did the rhyming game with Zhatila, maybe we'll see some Trecini?

And was it really necessary to clarify it as her last name? Her first name is Laura.

AH,... PSquishy....This, from and English major who wrote this sentence:

If you haven't seen The Princess Bride, you're missing a really fun movie, as well as a significant number of arcane references from a bunch of the regulars.
Poizin: Armida Winery, located in the Dry Creek Valley.

My suspicion is that we'll see PoiZin for Halloween

What is it you do Ms. Sanity? Speaking of english major, grad school is starting very soon. I'm scared!!

You've been packed (though we'll have to wait for Cheron to return to put up all of the links and stuff.

Link's up. Thanks for helping out, JW.

I just noticed that Inigo Montoya has a winery, cleverly disguised as being by Robert Montoya (dread pirate Robert?). Sold as, simply, Montoya.

Vizzini was not a great "fool" plus SB's possibly accidental inclusion of "fool":

Peachy Canyon made a "Jester" until at least 2004, but they don't have it listed on their site.

He said he wasn't a fool. But he still died. Making him a fool.

If dying makes one a fool, then fools we all shall surely one day be. <Not picking on you, Sparky; just feeling ironic.>

Poizin has traditionally been a pre-Halloween release. I'd be inclined to stick with the Wellington theme, but it's been a very long time since I guessed correctly.

I'm with JOAT, here. I think if we see PoIZin again, it will be closer to Hallowe'en.

Ohhhhh please More ZIN!!!!!!

I don't know what tonight's offering is. At least, I think not.

I do, however, know the ultimate fate of Wannabe red... :-D. Sorry, WD swore me to secrecy. But the final blend is QUITE nice, and it will be well worth the wait.

Now all I have to do is hope/pray that he doesn't send nallie after me....

I think she weeps for English everywhere when someone who is going to graduate school for said subject routinely makes a mockery of it.

I literally just drank the "Jester" a couple days ago. Pretty sure it was the 04' vintage. Didn't fair well with my steak but a very nice sipping wine, or maybe I just didn't let it open enough. Regardless I thought it was quite good for $15 bucks. Cab, PS, um, and some other stuff. Here's the write up from the wine store just in case you're right.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. Flavors consist of cedar, currant, blackberry jam and raspberries with a hint of toasted oak. Aromas are made up of dark plums, bing cherries, raspberry cola and subtle black currant

I'd be in

We need our fix!

I say take the night off, enjoy the games and let us sweat it out until 12. Well, I'm not gonna sweat it out because I wouldn't stay up late just to find out anyway. It'll be there in the morning.

Now that just sounds a little too sensible. Not to me, though; I'm up at 6AM to teach the penultimate day of summer school.

That is honestly the first time anyone has referred to me as sensible

ROTFLMAO!!

I'll take a WILD guess. Foolish Oak Winery, Columbia Valley, Washington.

Vizzini: Where was I?
Westley: Australia.

Hmmmm.....

We're ready for more based on the historical share Zin has represented of all offers (over the last 50 it is underrepresented).

WD ... He is low on charm
to deny us our clues
I hope he doesn't mean us harm
psychological damage ... Withdrawl symptoms

I'm betting on Wellington, again (now that we supposedly have no clues)

That'd frakking suck. Sorry SB, but it would. I really am in a saving mindset, or trying to be. I'll be in though. And offer the Cuvee R so I can rectify my earlier mistake of not going in on it.

Dude, seriously, HOW is Zin the next most overdue? We JUST had it. JUST. Update your little spreadsheets and calculations and stuff. Sheesh.

I think the "S.B." is the clue. And an awfully obvious one.

Ready whole thready firsty

Off topic, but in case anyone is interested, I (finally) got around to posting on the Field Notes thread. Ignore the bogus one by No winner. That's a system error issue.

I called Wellington 8 hours ago. I still like that guess.

Ah, Mr. White, my friend, could it be Scott Harvey's InZinerator?

I am not a grammaticist and do not claim to be; I do not think that my sentence was grammatically incorrect though. :/

If it is Wellington, I will be in. If it is Zin, only for one since I have 8 chase Zins already.

You got me. I just got back from a benefit wine/food/music event for one of the most wonderful people in Sonoma, who is in need of expensive medical treatment. I realise how tight and interwoven our community is - a lot of friends were there, but I also made several new ones who have mutual connections with other friends. It was a wonderful and mysterious evening, with many personal, professional, and community connections coming full circle, including the sealing of a co-operative winemaking deal that should be rewarding in many different ways. Not that I'm much of a believer, but I'd be real curious what my astrological chart says about today.

I'd agree that's leaning towards Wellington. Though, someone without a clue would no doubt be a fool...

It's like reading tea leaves around here.

You might also be surprised to find out how many wine.wooters might just respond to that need, if you give us a chance. Michelleshari, cheron98, polarbear22 all participated in major fund-raisers in May and June, and lots of us stepped up with support. Get WD to put up an opportunity, and see what happens.

Santa Barbara?


I'm now thinking that the Wellington guess isn't right, since WD is usually quiet after a correct guess...
