Would love to hear some Moon Mountain reviews if anyone gets quick shipping.

we are hosting a wine party this month (pending surgery) and these will be on the menu now. I will try to get a variety of notes from all that attend.

Moon Mountiain - got 2 cabs, 2 PV/cab blends, 1 merlot. Throw in a free bottle of something or other and free shipping, and it's hard to complain about this deal.
Thanks to all the enablers hereabouts!
I started out on Burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff. Bob Dylan, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
How on earth did I get 7 QPs?

It is hard to pass on those Moon Mountain deals. I am considering going back for more.
With friends like these....

I'm in for 4 of the Mountain bottles. A 2005 Syrah, 2 2005 Right bank blends, and 1 2006 PV/CS blend. $42 after credits, tax, and shipping. F you all.

2 new wines up on Invino by Francis Coppola. an Alicante Bouschet and a Pinot Noir.
I know he loves wine, as many of us do, but has anyone ever tried anything that has come from his vines?

And not to mention he's a dirt bag. Check gcdyersb's blog. He talks about it.

I got charged shipping yesterday but today it was free. Mainly because I paid my fee yesterday.

North316 wrote:Hmm, that's hard to pass up. CT for the Sancerre shows good ratings right around 90 and an average cost of $14, but at a drinking window ending in 2011 and no tasting notes since 2010. This one might be past its time.
Can't find a good CT link for the Chateau Paradis. Several names under the same wine which are red blends.
I went in on this with no hesitation. $5 shipped, warm weather quaffers is a no-brainer. I love a good sancerre. Hell, I find a crappy sancerre better than most domestic whites. The wife loves Provence roses. While it's possible that the rose might be waning, I have faith that the sancerre will have plenty of life in it.
Worth the risk, and if they're not great, they will be drank by a few non-discriminating Easter guests, cooked with, or turned into sangria.
Woo!

I have two accounts- this 'anonymous' username for commenting, as well as a 'purchasing' account which is my real name. Apologies for the white box on the left.
Also, in the interest of full disclosure- I'm ITB, selling wine for a living. None of my wines have ever been featured on Woot though, so don't fear the shilling.
