I hope so. I need more 08(?) Keller Estates Syrah. They had half bottles of Syrah and Pinot Noir. The PN was meh, but the Syrah was pretty good.

Just dont put the Magnum on here, please. I guess I could split it myself.

RLL $20 for $40 @ wine.com.

Could have been better, but I'll take a free $20 when offered, especially with wine steward.

2007 Buena Vista Carneros PN this isn't the Ramal we've gotten for $15, and I've had the 2008 of this from TJ's for $10 that was OK. Any thoughts on this one..?

Any idea if these kinds of vouchers are stackable (can use more than one in a single order)? If so, I can just set up an account for my wife and she can order one too. I've also never purchased from wine.com, so shipping on my first order would be $.01

Coupons do not stack, You cannot combine your voucher with the .01 shipping code

Kewl, I just received over the past 2 hours two credits emails (thank you DN & CW) from people who must have signed up through my link long long ago. Now I get to have a free $40 bottle of wine from Wine.com since I still have the Steward-Ship membership that I purchased last year. Woot!

Somehow, due to my security lockdown of javascrapt and other nasties, I ended up purchasing two of these. As they are good till August, I'm thinking use one now, and a bit later enter the second number and hope...
Wish me luck.

Winery called Standing Sun is on Winestyr.com
$49 for $80 worth of wine or $89 for $160.

Some of their stuff looked interesting on their website:
http://standingsunwines.3dcartstores.com/

However after looking into shipping they charge an additional $6.50 for a UPS and Wine Packaging Fee

Cheap wine deal, I've got no idea how good any of it is though.

Fab.com has vouchers available for a site called "clubw.com". The vouchers are:

$20/3 bottles
$35/6 bottles
$60/12 bottles

shipping is included on each, and you can choose your bottles out of an assortment of about 12 different wines or wait a month for the assortment to change. these vouchers are good until september.

most of the wines they have available are wines that normally sell for $10-$18/bottle

The "Club W" thing. I was having difficulty finding out much about it, short of plopping down some cash and signing up, which, given the sparse details I wasn't going to do. Looked more like a wine-of-the-month deal to me.

Something else, or a link to more details, like the September expiration?

edit...

carp, clubw.com. How did I miss that?

Here is the Fab sale:

http://fab.com/sale/5916

It doesn't seem too scammy. You can actually signup at http://www.clubw.com without giving them any billing info and build your wine selection as if you were going to buy it to see what all is available. They don't lock you into any commitments, I just don't know if the wine is worth getting.

A couple of interesting offers up today at wineshopper:
1) 2007 Andrew Will Two Blondes Vineyard
2) 2005 Bodegas Valascro Dioro Rioja
Both have excellent CT scores and well below market price. Have not had either, but ordered two of each in order to get free shipping.

Those are nice. I'm also curious about that Miraflores Syrah for 13.99. They make a great Zin.

The Crescendo 2006 Cab on lastbottle for $18 is pretty good stuff. If I didn't have a couple more bottles, I'd go in again since they lowered the price by $2 since last time it was up.

Cinderella Wine has had port offers a couple times. And I always find wine library's prices to be competitive.

Anyone have strong opinions on the Raymond sale going on at Invino? A bunch were sold out and they (apparently) recently added more to their inventory. Thinking of picking up a magnum or double mag but not sure which...

I have never had a bad bottle from Raymond.

I have also only had vintages 1998 and earlier. (1984, 1990, 1992, 1998) All of which have been some of my favorite jaunts into aged Cabernet.

2013: 40btl. Crusher Orange wine (8 Btl), Terra Bella Cab (4 Btl), Wellington Victory (4 btl), Winesmith Chard (12 Btl), Ardente Cab (12Btl)
Last purchase: 4/18/13
Longest SIWBM of year: 44 days

2012 - 98 btl. 2011- 112 btl. 2010 - 30 btl. BoC: 2

Wow, that is cheap. However, it didn't work for me though. It stated sold out. Do you need to add a filler to make it $40 to use the voucher?

It might depend on your ship to state. Wine.com has different availability depending on your state. It seems to work in both Texas & California. Not sure about other states.

My filler was a second bottle of Chimney Rock

*edit* actually, it looks like it may only work for Texas *edit*

I had the Andrew Will before. It was quite complex and great to drink with a steak. Give it about 2 hours in the decanter and everything will come together.

Is this for sure? Because their website doesn't really state that.

"Ground shipping is free on orders of four or more bottles."

I think this hung me up last time and is why I didn't purchase. It's not stated the way you state it anywhere on their site.

Can anyone else confirm this to be the case?

Edit: I emailed them and this is the response I received:

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you in order to get the free shipping it has to be 4 of the same bottles of wine .If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
Thank You"

Looks like I will once again not be partaking in Cheapskate Wednesday.

This is on their facebook page. It seems like it means 4 during the whole thing, but I could be misinterpreting it *edit* yes, i am misinterpreting it! *edit*

Did you know that you get free ground shipping when you order four or more bottles during our Cheapskate Wednesday marathon? With a new wine every 15 minutes or fewer, we trust you'll have plenty of options!:

*edit* now that I look at that comments on that post, someone got clarification that you have to order 4 bottles of an individual offer to get free shipping. i think i was mixing this sale up with the one lastbottlewines does where they combine shipping (i like that one better!) *edit*
