David, please please please dig up some of those De Long California AVA maps!

Ooooh people, you need these. Really, you do. They are pretty darn fantastic. Husband was kinda meh on the regular salted caramels, but he loves the pecan patties.

Could you please explain a "Woot Cellar" offering? I'm inexperienced!

These are offerings that woot does on occassion (usually at least once a year) where WD works in cooperation with a known woot.wine winemaker for a special blend or wine that is labeled under a "Woot Cellars" label and offered exclusively to Wine.Woot customers.

If you type in woot cellars in the google search to the right, several previous offerings will pop up.

The most recent Woot Cellars production was the 2009 Blitzen, done in coordination with Ty Caton.

Also, how about offering the milk and dark chocolates separately? Most people like one or the other, but not both.

I have a way around the latter issue, but not the former cos I love the salt...

I tend to prefer the milk so while I'll eat the dark, its just not as enjoyable for me. But I have a coworker who is the vice to my versa - she loves the dark chocolate ones! We go halvesies on a box and so far, with rationing, we're just finishing the box from the previous offering when the new one arrives, so its almost like an automatic delivery system... ;)

Do you know who Triacipedis was done with? Thats been my fave woot cellar so far.

I figure I will hide one box away where I can't see it and maybe remember it as a happy surprise somewhere down the road, if I don't eat the whole box in like a week and then just dive into the second one.

These are truly amazing, I highly recommend. If I didn't think I'd eat all 3 boxes completely by myself, I'd be in for 3.

ETA: Lots of wooters wooting in Oklahoma? Who else here is daring enough to identify as an Okie?

Me! I'm an Okie

I thought they were too salty.

Thanks- sounds like something to look forward to!!!!

I'm still working my way through these and think they are great. Like some other people, I also think they are a little over-salted, but I just scrape some off.

I prefer these to the caramels. In fact I still have some of the caramels left. Not these, they were gone in... Well let's just say 60 seconds would be over estimating ;)

I'm being good and staying away this time. Expanding waistline, going the wrong direction

Does anyone near Los Angeles prefer the milk chocolates, and want to split an order giving me the dark half?

Novice wooter question: is there any way to be in for two - to be shipped to two separate addresses? If i have them sent to me, then reshipping to the giftees wouldn't be in time for easter.

Bought both varieties last time they were offered and I have to agree with the majority of the comments here. Salted caramel pecans are good, very good, but the salted caramels are a little bit of heaven. Belly is still recovering form the 3 billion calories I ingested, but mind says more, more!!! Like the caramel pecans, but would love, love, love (hint, hint, hint!) more of the caramels! But you won't lose either way.

Remember, even a dead clock is right twice a day!

wine.woot has become my destination for sweets shopping... this is autobuy for 3 as guests devours them as soon as i got the last batch...

now if brandini will make a return...

when's the last time i bought wine on wine woot!?

North316 wrote:Not to start an arguement, but how many of those are first time offerings versus repeat offerings? I'm sure it's not true all of the time, but "generally" all NEW Woot Cellar offerings are near the holidays.

They were probably all repeat offerings. But I'd be happy with a repeat offering during this woot-off, since I have very few bottles of any Woot Cellars offering left at this point.

Vinted and Bottled by Three Wine Company

It looks like they worked with Three Wine Company on that offering. I too like the Triacipedis. I'm not usually a fan of whites, but this one was delicious.

At a bit over $1 per ounce, I can do better at a local, non-chain confectioner's shop with a better selection.

How many times have I resisted? I'm not made of stone dammit! In for one.

please sell out already, the temptation is killing me, this wootoff is killing me,

I still have a box of caramels left, trying to hold out till easter

but these would be so good to take to the family dinner, the kids stay away because they think chocolate and salt is weird, but then so does half of my wife's family

all the more for me

if I keep typing maybe they'll be sold out when I post this

aaaarrrgggghhhhh

Thanks! (and thanks to North316 too!)

Im the same - usually prefer a lovely red to most whites, tho I am partial to a reisling occasionally. The only white I consume on a regular basis are of the sparkling variety...

Now to keep an eye out for the Three Wine Company too...

bouncing!

sad I just missed it

I should have gotten 3,not 2. Already about 1/3 though one of the boxes and I am supposed to give a box to my MIL.

Maybe I will order one from the website, but I also let my mom taste one and she really likes them too... decisions decisions..

These were delicious, though I scraped some salt off as there was a little bit too much for my taste
