Have to ask-- is this a record for most comments on a wine woot? Been around for a while and I can't remember seeing 7 pages without a sellout. What next? A Barrel of Crops filled with wine?

Haven't seen you around these parts in a while. Nor Ali. Come by more often, the both of you!

You started the 8th page! Sweet--PM me your address and I'll send you a wine key too!

Can't believe this didn't sell out yet. I've done my part.
Current numbers (updated each minute)
First sucker: lunsfordga
Speed to first woot: 1m 1.967s
Last wooter to woot: skidd420

Looks very nice!


The little metal Oenophilia one has worked out great for us. Only about 2 feet wide, it squeezes in between the bar area of our kitchen and a china/stemware cabinet perfectly...

HA! I missed this one. You caught on!! PM your address and I'll send you a Wine Key.

You must have heard me present the wines to a wine shop. That's my line!! "These are stupid good prices"!

While you were in SF you should have stopped by my office to say hi and share a glass!

Waaaaaaaaaaaa..I want a wine key too! Can I whine a bit w/ my cheese and get one?

I did buy a case! ~end of whine~ but never end of WINE! :-P

the forum thread reviews are as glowing as i remember how scott and kent were discussed a couple years back... figured this would give me a good sample of their wine...

now, can we get this dc/va meet together? i have a lot of wine to drink this summer...

Julie (Pedroncelli) and I are going to be in DC the week of 8/10 for a tasting at the Smithsonian. An old family photo is going to be part of an exhibit beginning then. sing up for our enews so we can keep you posted. I'd also be happy to come pour our wines if someone wants to head this up!

Buzzed in at 1:00 and out at 3:35. Home to walk the dog by 5:15. It's a wine guy's life!

288 comments and counting! I just wanted to be on both page one and page eight. Nothing else of note to add except congratulations to the Pedroncelli family and good luck with getting all those orders shipped out!

bsevern wrote:Ed how would you compare your 2009 Morris Fay Vineyard Cab in this case deal to your 2008 Three Vineyards Cab ?

I picked up some magnums of your Three Vineyards via woot and finally opened one about a month ago, and found it to be very good, nice spice, earth, dark fruit, everyone loved it that tried it.

Sorry--I was off for a while.
couple of very different things here-
09 MF is 100% Cab from Alex. Vly
08 3V is (as I recall) 83% CS, 16 Cab Franc and 1% Malbec from Dry Creek Valley.
So, the basic characteristics are dissimilar. For AV cabs I tend to think of blue fruits, cooler aromas, more herbaceous, fairly soft tannins.
For DCV Cabs, red fruits, warmer spicey aromas and a bit more angular tannins.

Additionally, 2008 was a warm fast ripening year. The wines tended to be a bit hot early on, but as they've aged they are fabulous.

The 2009 vintage, on the other hand, was a long cool growing season. These wines are going to age wonderfully. They might be a little tight early on...but just you wait!

Ed is still hanging around!! What's a wine key?? Does it lock away wives on mixed case delivery day??

HAHAHA! No, it opens an evening of wonderful aromas, long glistening legs, and silky smooth things in your mouth.

Wow, quite the meatball you threw me there... so many ways to go with that one!! LOL, looking forward to trying some of these wines, this fella I work with and I have bought them all to date... FYI did i miss a Pinot offer? By far my favorite juice... Is it on your site to order?

No, you didn't miss a Pinot offer. I can't make enough of that stuff. Released it first week of January, and we'll be out by June. You can order it online. Email me so I'm sure you have the correct pricing set up in our system. I don't get email addresses, and that's what our cart recognizes. ed@pedroncelli.com

Check out the Friends Red while you are there!

You as well as I! I am looking forward to this wine, very much. I have bought many from WW, mostly from the amazing people here, giving their insight! THANKS! :-)

Although my bank account, nor husband thanks you...I DO! :-P

This makes me sad because I can't be there to taste at the Smithsonian. Stupid living in the middle of no where.

Also congrats on the sellout. I bought it early because I thought it would sellout by 11am. Looks like I was right if you hadn't increased the limit!

The one day I don't check wine woot..THE ONE DAY!!! All is not lost though. I will make it a point to get by Pendroncelli when I fly out to tour Sonoma in June.

Hope we get to see you (and your delicious wine!) in DC !

Tomorrow, Vino Napkins and 4 comments...

Excellent guess! 2200 cases = 26400 bottles of wine. Is this the highest number of non-Woot Cellars wine sold?

Darn.
After a cataract surgery followed by a retina detachment surgery (odds are against that), I get home to miss out on this.
Great deal for those who got in.

eww sorry to hear, I hope all went well!!

yes, i used my vinturi... then i swirled the sucker around for a while just to make sure. then i tasted... blech... swirled some more... tasted... blech. let it sit... tasted. blech. i just wasn't getting better. i gave 2 bottles away. have 2 more to use as cooking wine. the cabs are pretty good. not great. they are a little on the bland side for me. they taste a little watery. they are certainly smooth and easy drinking. but they don't have that earthy pungent cab essence that i love in so many fine cabs. i recently had a cruz alta cab that was amazing... I would probably give the white oak cab an 88... the merlot i will not rate.

fredrinaldi wrote:That was one of my best buys, if White Oak comes up again I'm in for the Max.

I too got some bad wine, Peter Wellington 2006 Victory Reserve WW replaced it and it was excellent. Email them

thanks for the tip. i only have two bottles of merlot left though. i will see if they can help me out though.

But you should be able to fix that, no??? ~hehe~

Ok, sorry to laugh that you missed out on this! My bad!

ahh... good old manhattan beach... i love that place especially the cafe that is just below bobs pancake house. great view from there.

but i no longer live in cali. i moved to DC unfortunately... i don't think you'd want my batch of merlot anyway. i don't know if it was travel shock or what, but my batch sucks.
