I've enjoyed every Woot cellars wine so far. Excellent QPR!

In for 3, and wishing it was 6 per order instead of 5.

1st obvious question. How sweet is it.
Dry, off-dry, sweet?

Edit: answered my own question. Looks like its medium,which Wikipedia defines as up to 45g/l

26 gm / L of residual sugar makes this a VERY VERY VERY sweet deal

How dry is this one? I like a "dry Riesling" but when they get more than a tad sweet I get frustrated.

Are the woot cellar offerings any good? I haven't seen one in a while, but everyone raves about the from what I've seen.

New Jersey supposedly now allows wine shipments, how come I can't order my Woot Wine yet??

Not a sweet wine drinker myself, but these will make awesome gifts! in for one.

Looks like a nice deal.

I'll point out that the pH vs RS ratio makes it appear as if it might be a great summer sipper, but it may not be as versatile with foods as a higher pH Riesling. F-bomb is likely accurate.

It's worth it just for the fun of asking, "F-Bomb, anyone?" For some reason those words are never uttered around our table. It's a puzzlement.

;)

Of course they are! Do you really think Woot would steer you wrong? Woot Cellar offerings are almost an auto-buy for me. This one especially since I prefer whites > reds.

Thanks WD!!!

First Ty Caton Red, Now this? Woot you're really killing my wallet here. Payday can't come soon enough.

If I had more money I would have been in for 3, Sadly I'm in for two and hoping someone at work wants to buy a couple.

The quality of my last woot cellar wine was fantastic, Since then they have become an auto-buy for me. The name is just an added bonus

We're in! I think we've bought every Woot Cellars offering and we've never been disappointed!

In baby!

I got the Woot Wine 5 year anniversary Late Harvest Zinfandel and it was amazing! If that is any indication of how all Woot Wine is, this ought to be good as well :D

<<<< I'll ask the usual drinking window question...

I know many Rieslings don't hold up well to aging (nor do they require it.) I'm curious though... is it best to drink this now? Would it benefit from any aging at all?

Thanks

I'm a wine padawan. Help. I'd like something about as sweet as soda. Pacific Rim Vin de Glaciere was too sweet, more like Sno-Cone syrup. Is this right for me?

How can I buy two with one for me and one as a gift?

Last wooter to woot: craiggery
In for one just out of principle. Hopefully There isn't
too much regret about not buying more.

This is a sad commentary on my willpower. Just bought two for the label alone! I'm not even that fond of sweet Rieslings, although I am currently sipping one from St. Julian, mostly so I can move on. Prefer the drier Gard Riesling. Now, if I were smart, rather than won over by labels, I would compare all the specs before I bought.

I like wine, however, I may drink only a bottle or two a month, and I have a few sitting here. In other words, what is the time on drinking this?

The thumbnail photo looks like something off Twister... a tornado early warning system of some sort.

Okay, this is getting redickerous!!! CJ, don't make me come out there! Really! It's cold and close to the cesspool that's DC!

Any time is good for drinking Riesling.
And with recent purchases, I have a lot to drink.

How long will they last though? Or, heck, maybe I'll just up my consumption for the summer!

They are all good, but the reds normally need at least 10 to 12 months in the bottle. The whites seem to be drinkable pretty much right away.

The reds I've mostly kept for at least a year before opening. Exception being the Finito del Vinito.

You can gift to a different address. Just check the gift box and provide a different shipping address.

Realize that you will get dinged for two $5 shipping charges. Or you could just order 2 sets and give the second set yourself.

Glad to see Woot! is bold as ever; but am I the only one who somehow feels that Woot! label wine ought come in all the bargain glory of a 5-litre box?

Woot Cellars == auto buy, even if I shouldn't...

N41! Thank you woot!

Is this safe to have delivered to my work? It is a very professional environment and I don't want people to think I'm an alcoholic.

Good test of the will power.

Typically I would buy simply for woot and the label.

However, my SWMBOSIWBM plus my Riesling snobbery will prevent me from this purchase.

Riesling is a colder climate grape amiright?

hell, just bought that case of riesling a week or so back, but then I'm a sucker for riesling, especially a slightly sweet one, in for one, guess I'll have to convert that armoire to wine storage sooner rather than later.

Anyone in DFW area willing to split a order? No storage for 5 right now
