I hope it's better than yesterday's, which lasted for one offering...

I am new here, what does this mean?

I'm excited but my wallet is worried for this hopeful wine.wootoff

This is probably just a detour, though I'm hopeful I am very very wrong. I was very excited when the Tudor wines came up in an apparent wine.woot off yesterday afternoon, only to find that it was the only bonus deal of the day.

Waiting anxiously...

I don't know what's going on...if this is a wine woot-off or not (strange behavior over here yesterday & today), but the description on these wines had me sold...

...AND I CAN'T GET THEM IN MY STATE *cries like a little girl*

Manos, the hands of fate.

I just bought two new expensive pans yesterday off Amazon because they were on sale and I've been dithering about getting them for years. I was able to grab the 270mm shun yanagiba off tacky.woot before it sold out which I don't technically need but it was 60% off and it's a terrific knife, Apple's releasing something today that I'll probably buy simply because Steve Jobs has my number (it's a business expense!), and Wine David decides today is the day to have a wine.woot off.

The State of the Union speech tonight better have something in there about improving the economy because apparently I'm spending money like it's 1999.

Just bought one...these are usually only available at the tasting room and go for $20+/bottle. Not a bad deal!

I bought one the last time it was offered. I've opened a bottle of each. Enjoyed it, but it didn't blow me away.

Totally OT, but I've opened a couple bottles of the Havens wine from last month. Really like both the Cab & Merlot! Sad to know they won't be producing more.

The Sangiovese is actually very good. I opened up the 2005 Pedroncelli Sangiovese last week as a comparison, and preferred the Meridian.
It's very similar to a Chianti, light and moderately sweet.

SELL ME SOME WINE TO GO WITH MY CHEESE!!!!!


LOL I HATE WINE BUT LOVE W00T!!!


WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO????

My guess from recent wootoffs is that they're only do wine detours doing wootoffs, to keep the more drunken wooters on their toes

APW and I vol-ratted the syrah, he's a member of their wine club, and I've had a large number of meridian's reserve wines, both with him and at the winery.

I think these two statements are right on the dot with my experience with Meridian's wines: they're not knock-your-socks-off kind of wines, they're good everyday wines on the fruit-forward side but not overripe and overextracted like I've found a lot of Paso wines to be.

Well I hope this is a true wine.wootoff... Even though I'm planning on heading to Amador this weekend to pick up some more wine for my cellar anyways!!

Speaking of, anybody familiar with that area have any suggestions, or even requests? Would be greatly appreciated! Done Napa/Sonoma enough times, it's time to stay closer to Sactown!

So, you can't ship to Tennessee anymore? Had one shipped not that long ago. But Georgia is allowed now? Guess I'll have to have it delivered to my house instead of my work.

Anyone ordered it to Georgia? Any restrictions?

Love Amador and El Dorado wineries. So much more down to earth and fun than Napa, etc. Some of my faves in Amador are Young's (winemaker died, so not sure what new wines are like, Terre Rouge/Easton, Renwood, Sobon (value), Karly (if you like monster zins) and Runquist. Hit the Pokerville Market to score wines from all the places in the area at great prices.

The ship-to states change with each winery. Woot can only ship to states that this week's winery can ship to.

No love for Ohio on this one. (Not that that's a change from the previous offering of this wine, mind you.)

Meh.

Very close to Terre Rouge is Vin Nocetto. Very well done Sangiovese and Zinfandel. Their Reserves are top of the line. Very nice people. Get some farm fresh eggs while you are at Karly. Enjoy

I'm a wine.woot newb. What's going on? Why the flashing lights? Why is the offer different than it was a few hours ago (X Winery, I think).

Not that it matters, no love for Ohio...

Its a Wine Woot-off, of course. There are woot off's going on with Woot and Kids Woot as well. They will rotate products for the next day (or two or three) as the previous one sells out.

The real question will be whether there will be a baby of the cosmos. Probably not.

Where's the next wine? My F5 finger doesn't like working this hard! ;-)

I'm in MI and have bought wine from woot before. Why would my state not be listed on this one? Do the laws vary based on where the wine is coming from? Weird.

states shipped to are based on the winery

Thanks for clearing that up. My heart sunk when I thought I was done for good.

We've seen this before. It seems like they have a bug and Wine.Woot! doesn't update until main Woot! has a sellout and updates. (Though I don't think that's been confirmed....)

QUICK! Somebody buy some hippies! :-)

Or the next woot! is a wine.woot!

bought these on the last wine woot-off, and opened one so far...it was great, and the reviews were great:
Scott Harvey Wines
Founded:
2004
Owners:
Scott & Jana Harvey
Location:
St. Helena, CA After decades of creating and crafting premium wines for wineries like Santino and Folie a Deux – and putting Amador County on the map as a world-class appellation – Scott Harvey launched his own winery in 2004. With decades of winemaking experience on two continents, it’s no wonder his wines have become an immediate sensation. It’s an overnight success 35 years in the making.

hippies are bouncing. we'll soon see if this theory is true.

Looks like it's back to the X Wines. Another detour / wine.woot pump fake. I just don't get it...

twowootthree wrote:hippies are bouncing. we'll soon see if this theory is true.

Nope. It's disproved. They're bouncing and X Winery is back. So just a detour, not a full wootoff, and slow to update....

In addition to others mentioned above (Terra Rouge, etc) I liked C.G. di Arie when I went there 15 months ago.

Does a wine woot-off sometimes include a Bota?...

(Bag of Wine) or BOW instead of Boggy Old Creature?

Just finished a bottle of each. The Sangiovese was by far the better. Smooth and subtle fruit. The syrah was maybe a little immature, didn't really impress.
