I wonder if this is kind of the same thing; effusive gushing for the sake of effusive gushing. Maybe a group psychology thing..

I bought two batches of the salted caramels at Christmas and repackaged them into 4-6 pieces in little snowman ziplock bags. Handed them out like popcorn to everybody. Can you say Karma!!!

Wellington Syrah 2x2 pack?

is one of them a victory reserve???

Sonoma estate and England Crest?

Wow, I'm offline for a few days and I miss a wine.woot deal with almost 300 discussion comments. I'm not even sure I have the energy to read it all, hehehe..

I guess WW knows what to sell to get a huge turnout..

England Crest vineyard and Estate vineyard Syrahs...?

2006?

Oh, and when I said that the last time was the slowest game of 20 questions, I'd ever played? I was wrong. Just saying.

Are you kidding, these guys love Syrah. I am a semi sweet white fan. and Ports.

20 Questions is fun and keeps things interesting when there is a quick sell out like todays offering...

FYI: I always stay awake to see the offerings. I live in Mountain Time, so it is really worth it for me to stay up until 11 to see what it is. Today was a PRIME example.

it is going to be a 2008 and will be need to be cellared for a year or 2

hahaha so then is a 2007. that sounds right

That's great stuff. The 07 may well be even better than the 06 and I expect it to be $50 for four! Its that about right?

Carp, now I gotta stay up for a likely auto-buy! And I'm waaaaaayyyyy over budget, for the entire year, not counting the upcoming rpm tour. yikes!

What's the most sought-after product offered on wine w00t?

Why, the Wine.Wootoff! Bottle Of Cavedoni! Duh!
See what I did there? ;-)

For actual wine, I'd guess a Tytanium or Kronos vertical if one were ever offered.

cheesynutball wrote:What's the most sought-after product offered on wine w00t?

for wine, anything from Scott Harvey is a huge hit, Ty Caton is also, so is Peter Wellington.

For types of wines: Cabs, apparently there is a large Petite Sirah following here, the Orange Crusher sold out fast. The Ice Wines sold out wicked fast.

Reds tend to sell better than whites.

I am in the minority as I like whites better than reds, but thats not to say I dislike reds. I have both in my cellar.

EOD(well... almost) and 8 pages..... uncanny

ThunderThighs wrote:I know today's is a regular request and ALWAYS sells out fast.

As to wine, the others are the experts but I know we have some favorite wineries.

Cool! I'm not much of a wine expert either, been waiting for months for this Balsamic to pop up again. That strange feeling to check the deal last night payed off, but I kind of regret not buying two.

I loved the 06's and am absolutely going to jump on this.

Apply for a new high limit credit card now so you have it when the next woot off comes around. You're going to need it

fredrinaldi wrote:open the Rasmussen Esoterica Petite Sirah, O•M•F•G what a bottle of wine, and I'm a CAB GUY !!!!

Very happy to hear that. It's my plan to open one up tomorrow for a date. Did you decant or aerate it?

Some of us like to get Twisted also

That's quite a gauntlet you've thrown down there ;)

I'm in NYC and can't go to sleep without seeing the new offerings. It's a real problem. I'm waiting for an official WA (Wooters anonymous) to get going, I NEED HELP!

;) lol

North316 wrote:Yes, you are wrong. It is one item a day only, unless it is a woot-off. Woot-offs are the only time that we get continuous items after each item sells out.

We used to get decanters after sell-outs.

I don't think WD misses those days.
