You and me, doing everything together. Having babies, dropped $3K -- I dropped 3K on a new wine cooler from WE. Not happy about it, but you do what you have to do.

Hmm. Woot Plus deals are multi day offerings. If they do add in a discussion thread for each deal, could we then bring back the lab rat program for these?
More generally, I miss the days when we had the time to discuss the offer, debate with the winemaker, have labrats chime in, and generally create a community. With a deal a day, it simply doesn't happen.
It may be due to my lack of participation, but how many winemakers recently has the wine woot community formed a bond with? All the winemakers I can think of come from "earlier" times: Peter Wellington, Roessler, Scott Harvey, Cathy Corison, Twisted Oak, Joy from Iron Horse, Pedroncelli...
Anybody new?
Juvie: 30+24+4; Sellout: 6+7+0
Rags: 3+2+3
Drunk: 69+94+15 wine, 20+29+4 non-wine
Rugrat: 0+0+0; Refunded: 2+3+1

Agreed. I saw my phone message for todays wine woot this morning when I woke up and wanted to vomit. Generally bacon in the morning is a good thing, but I could not get passed the idea of a bacon spread. Yuck!

Recorded temp at the house was 99 today. In the sun it was 106, however it was a "dry heat"
