Yeah, I was going for one, but I missed by about a minute. Fortunately, bahwm already got us 3. And there are still 9 bottles on the way from the tour.

Good for you, I've never done it, but understand that having a parachute along helps the chances of survival.

As for a guess to the new offer, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not going to be a Wellington offer at all. They don't have the time to offer us new wine...they're still labeling 1000+ bottles of the quasi-Duke.

Maybe a food-related offering is coming up next.

Do we have any reason to believe that it is another PW offering?

Maybe WD can talk the codeslaves into adding something to the order page on labrat and/or delivery delay.

Something like a check box to indicate availability for labrat that week. Or lack therof. And maybe another text box to request a delivery delay (travel that week or next week).


Or WD could just post the labrat shipments in the labrat thread on the World of Woot Wine forums .....

4260 bottles, to be precise.
Edit: not including the free bottles to 'rats.

Marsanne, yes, please.

God I hope so, I can't afford more wine this week. If it's the Balsamic again though I'll probably be in. Even better if it was the olive oil

I could be wrong, but I thought it was more typical to have one labrat per bottle of the offer. That would mean there's only one missing. Maybe 2.

It freakin better be more Wellington! I only wooted for one so I could Woot for a bunch come Thursday!

Pls more Wellington, pls!

Oh, right, 0233... that's intuitive and memorable. Of all the things MS hasn't yet ripped off from Apple, can't they at least steal the special character input? (é = press option-e then e again)

I thought it was 2 rats per bottle. That's how it was during the Chase offering (I know that one for sure).

You only have to do it that way on the boards. Inside Office, you can do it easier.

ddeuddeg wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought it was more typical to have one labrat per bottle of the offer. That would mean there's only one missing. Maybe 2.

Watching the rat pack over the past few months has shown that there's typically 2 rats per DIFFERENT bottle in the offering. Assuming there will be no rattage of the mystery bottle, that puts us at 6 rats.

ddeuddeg wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought it was more typical to have one labrat per bottle of the offer. That would mean there's only one missing. Maybe 2.

From what I remember, it has always been 2 labrats per bottle in the offer. If it is the same wine, then only 2 labrats. With 3 wines (not counting the mystery wine), it should be 6. It could be more if WD shipped the mystery wine(s) also.

Still not good enough. It should be part of the OS's text services. Demand better of your OS :-)

Isn't the true "Duke" supposed to come out soon? That would be my guess for the next offering. I would be in for a couple six packs.

Obviously, I shouldn't be posting memory-based things while still under the influence of the Versid the doc gave me this morning.

Duke doesn't cost enough retail to make sense to sell here.

Who said anything about tonight?

Probably right, unless it is a higher level duke. Maybe even an Earl, Baron, or Lord.

I did enjoy their Pique-Nique wine at the tasting room last month, so will probably get whatever SB offers up.

Maybe its just a hook for Wooters. SB includes it, gets the mystery hunters interested and then doesn't woot it but it's great PR for the release - tricky and smart!

In word, you can hit ctrl-', and then the e and get an accent. Doesn't work in this editor.

I guess it can mean that it might be today instead of tonight, or that there is not a Wellington offer tonight and it is something else altogether.

I am guessing there are more than a few that will be bummed if there is not another Wellington offer tonight.

I for one would be ok with it unless it's the Cuvee R and I can rid myself of that little mistake.

If said mistake was that of not ordering, I have a penance to pay as well. I will not be stupid enough to pass the Cuvee up again.

Fortunately I was able to get those.

I think quite a few of us would purchase the duke here, even at full retail price, just to save on shipping.

Right on *crossing fingers*

I would actually, but even at retail after woots cut I dunno if he'd do it. We'll leave it up to SB and WD. But demand is there I think.
