What is going on?!? I click on a thread and it takes me to woot.com. Took me a couple tries to get it working correctly. Weird.

Edit: I hit post and it took me to woot.com's Community page. There is some shenanigans going on.

It was back again to green, and when I went to reply now, back to normal red.

Code Monkeys are upset that there's no Woot-off!


Edit: And back to green. No wait, red on edit. No, wait ....

Hahaha. I agree with you.

I hope so.

Oops, double penetra, err, double post...

FTFY

I just opened one of these:
2005 Lexicon, Paso Robles 14.9% alc, 330 cases
43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Pinot Noir, 14% Syrah, 14% Sangiovese, 7% Lagrein

I don't think I've ever had a blend with Pinot Noir in it before, let alone Lagrein. It is great! Quite a bit of sediment in the bottle. Still seems pretty bright and acidic. Reminds me a little of a chianti to a certain degree. Went well with the ravioli I made tonight.

edit: I hope they're offered again. I remember the guy was pretty cantankerous on the forum, which actually made me buy it. hehe

So, my wife was pretty happy to get the berries. She even stopped and had to pick something up for me.

I had heard great things about Shari's Berries. I have not experienced great things from them. I ended up spending close to $50 for a dozen of them. To begin with, they ended up including the wrong card (was addressed to someone else). Lastly, the berries just weren't, well, that good. They looked pretty good, but they weren't like the picture. They were fully dipped, but the stems were still in place.

Anyway, not that impressed by the product. They were good, but not exceptional, which is what I would expect at $4 a berry. :sigh:

Whoa! 5 posts in a row from Doc O!! Even if one was a double penetra ... err, post.

Surprised at the berry issue. Seems like someone here raved about them.

Had that just happen to me after replying to Doc O's post. Took me to the Woot community page. Usually just leaves me in the Pub, even if it says Woot! in the corner.


Gotta be a server issue. They may need to re-start several of them to resolve it.

Don't know what go into me...

I think I've decided I like Foster the People. Always looking for new music.

OK, you guys are boring...I'm going to go read...

I got HAK Shari's Berries sometime last year. He seemed to enjoy them. Of course, they then proceeded to "remind" me to buy him more at least once a day after that. 2-3 times a day around holidays. You might want to go unsubscribe from them. They're spammy.

Cheapskate Wednesday starts in an hour 45... to stay up or cat nap...

Opened a 2007 Scott Harvey 1869 Zinfandel with the filets last night. Old world style Zin and very, very nice. After dinner, we opened a 2006 Jana Old Vine Zin, which is more new world style. Also a nice bottle. It went better on its own rather than with the steaks. I really appreciate the Old World/New World guide that Scott puts on his labels. We knew what to expect, and had them at the right time. And while these were well described in CT, it would otherwise be a shot in the dark.

Hope this great idea of Scott's catches on.

Oh I see what's causing the jump-to-green-woot thing. When you click on the "so-and-so wrote" to go back to the original post, they must've changed the code for it to hard-code in the full pathing of "http://www.woot.com" prior to the "/Forums..." instead of letting it be the relative pathing (starting with "/Forums" so it stays within the same forum.

Bad code monkeys. Bad. Stop messing with the forums in unhelpful ways.

Edit: Hm, maybe not - it's only SOME of them that it does that. Many are correct and start with wine.woot.com... hm. Weird.

IIRC, he's on the Riesling council, and I think they adopted it. Can hope it spreads to the others as well.

It never fails that the first appt of the afternoon shows up late...grrrrrrrrrrr

I blame the code monkeys.

Hu's on first? This is pretty funny, the Abbott and Costello skit updated with modern players.

Better bring an extra suitcase to the bottling. A TJ's is less than a mile from my house.....

I know there is a TJ there.... I had hubby take a taxi one year to bring me some TJ stuff!! He said it was the most expensive chocolate he has ever gotten me!!! When we were there last month, we were actually looking at bus schedules to see how to get there...... we never made it... went to the ice bar instead!! ha ha ha.... I did tell hubby, seeing how we will prob. rent a car during bottling.... a trip to TJ is a must!!!

I gotta admit I find great irony in the cover to the new Wine Spectator..."Great Value" with Bordeaux 2nd labels $345/bottle of Latour, $400 for Lafite.

Huh? How does that {not} work. Don't we post links to other sites all the time? What's the criteria for getting nuked, so others don't have it unwittingly happen...

As is my cellar! I can only deal with ~ 4 bottles a week between myself and the gal. I'm about a month over the storage limit at that rate

I posted a linky with my personal link info so that so people could become members thru my link & then make a purchase. If they did, I would get some $$ my account.
