Tudor's Pinot Noirs are excellent! Even his lowest end, Radog, is coming around these days. All of his name brands are great! At $30/bottle this is a no-brainer, if you like Pinot! :-)

Is it my imagination of have most of the Woot-off wines been black tie buys?

That CT thing...

this hasn't been on for a while. But I do remember a bit of a A Day of Thanksgiving (1951) storm the last time we had his second-string Radog wines on woot.
(Which were decent for $15)

You're saying that for $30 these are good: so are these as good as Rasmussen's estate PN, Buena Vista, and Saintsbury, which we can mostly get on discount for about this price too?

Anyone have a comparative review?

Will this arrive in time for Thanksgiving? I am in CA, but others may be interested also. . .

My last purchase took more than two weeks to arrive, so I wouldn't bet on it.

Or not wine, yes I have noticed as well. Sounds like a good one but past my budget, we have been fortunate to have some great pinots for under $20 here recently. Started checking too late this morning and missed that first offering, would of went in for that.

Now if the pattern holds the next offering will be 'wine related'... hopefully we get in a great deal before the nights out. Any monkey prizes sitting around?

Hey Wooters! Great to be back! Yes, this will be there by Thanksgiving. Drinking beautifully.

I was thinking the same thing. I picked up a couple of bottles of 2006 Buena Vista Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard Series Ramal Vineyard for $25/bottle and they have been VERY good.

Wine Spectator gives this 90 points. Checking my ratings history:

Tudor Anderson Valley: 91

Riverbench 2007: 87 (or corked - it's a crapshoot)
Rasmussen 1001: 88

Of course, this price is higher than either of the Riverbench or Rasmussen.

Sounds great, in for two

I just had a Radog over the weekend too. :-)

Welcome back to woot! Dan! Glad to see you haven't been eaten by a kite loving shark. ;-)

Thanks for the purchase! Wine.Woot has the killer deals. This is a classic, Burgundian, style, medium weight, aromatic pinot noir. Cheers! Dan

Thanks Neil! The Anderson Valley produces world class pinot noir fruit. The winemaker's job is just not to screw up the potential he/she starts with. Most of this '06 Tudor AV ava pinot is from one vineyard high above Philo on the ridge top. The vines are quite old and the site is low in vigor. This combination tends to produce really classic Burgundian old school style pinot noir. Pinot that tastes like pinot noir : ) Rutherford Grill served it by the glass for quite a while at I believe $16/glass.

Bollocks, that's what I feared! Dan, what's the cellaring / drinking window on these?

People I respect like this. Ckeilah, your reviews are for cheaper versions than I was talking about, but your comments are consistent with the quality.

SIWBM in danger. Anyone want to buy me two and swap for a couple of Rasmussens (estate) or similar, with minor cash adjustmnt?

Thanks! We're going to fast on the kiteboards to get chomped, but the surfers are sitting ducks. One was chomped at Marina State Beach in Monterey Bay last Saturday. It got mostly his surf board and little bit of his neck and shoulder. A 12 foot great white! He's lucky. Only minor injuries.

Wine woot off, oh how I love thee making my wallet lighter and lighter.

The 06's are drinking really great. They're incredible and really needed a few years before they should be released.

Need to get this on the plane and out to Texas before mid-next week. I want to be sipping it while watching the Houston Dynamo beating the LA Galaxy.

The Free Sulpher Dioxide at 13mg/L looks a little high for my tastes lol.

Yeah, I know what you mean! Last offer these were actually retailing for $40 at the winery according to the comments. So I'm also wondering about the significant price bump in addition to the questions about value vs kent's or buena vista. Although I do like anderson valley pinot.

if you want any more of other pinots like rasmussen roessler and the rest.. get me two of these ;)

Yay! Tudor Pinot on W00t on my b'day! In for one. Ahhhhhh, good times. (maybe we should coin the phrase "goot times", ha ha ha)

About a year ago we raised our retail prices on all our Tudor and Radog wines. This wine is $55 at the winery. With very wealthy Chinese buying up most of our wines now and the quality clearly at the top of the category we decided to actually make a profit after 12 years of making killer pinots. It's a steal at $30 bottle : ) Enjoy!
