Maybe I'll still get lucky! ;)

In for another one, haven't tried the first yet, but the winery gets it and this has been fun to read.

Glowing reviews means it has to be good right? Can't wait to try one. I am already into a Meeker Kiss Ridge bottle tonight, so this will have to wait until tomorrow.

Never had so much fun pushing the button...

The descriptions are mouth-watering. I'm looking forward to receiving my wine!

Those of us left on this thread will be happy to help you drink whatever you don't sell. For charity, of course.

cynthylee wrote:Hi Jim,

First, for getting my name right... you have no idea what I get most of the time,second because of the more detailed info on the charitable work you do and, third for the great reviews, I have asked the wonder woot! folks to bump my order up to two. I am so looking forward to a delightful (dry) evening on the patio sipping some of your wonderful wine.

Thanks!

Never hurts to have the sales staff hawking it either, but I was in for two even before that based on the earlier woot and the CT comments.

I know I like syrah and liked the way this wine was being described "red velvet theater curtain" and "lead pencil" so I figured it can't be all that bad.

(I'm generally a beer and scotch (neat, with a splash of water) guy, as in I already brew my own beer and would make my own scotch if I could.)

Here's my recommendation -- don't drink all three at the same time. But when you do enjoy my Humanitas 'Weed Farms' Syrah -- grab a big slab of beef, bbq it, maybe take a hunk of bleu cheese & a chunk of hearty bread -- turn on some cool music (I'm sorta into Foster the People now), invite over a friend or two -- and just savor. And if you live near Napa -- give me a call -- I'm in.

Steady on now, the only twelve steps I want in my life are the ones leading from my kitchen to my basement. Because I keep my wine in my basement. Not because I have a clown shackled to a radiator down there. Or anything.

BOUNCING! ! !

I'm in for two sets. You broke me down. You had me at grilled Ribeye; my favorite steak.

I think the staff may have just gone into the warehouse for a while to fill some more bags of Texas air...

Seriously tho, the IDing of quality posts tends to lag at times during Woot-Offs.

Saw them at Lollapalooza last week, and they were great. Of course, if I had been able to sneak in a bottle of Humanitas Syrah it would have been much better than the Lime-flavored Bud Light I was drinking.

The quality of the winery participation, esp. during a woot off was WONDERFUL!!! Thanks!!

Wow. Have you thought of a hotel room...and three bottles of Humanitas 2007 'Weed Farms' Syrah?

Perhaps the quality of the wine is far above what any of us mere mortals have yet described.

OK, let me lay a quality comment on you here. What I love about Humanitas Wines is the basic premise is this--The wines have to be spot on beautiful or they do not go into the bottle. Our goal is to seek beautiful single vineyard sources from around the state (Syrah from Dry Creek Valley, Cabernets from Napa, Merlot from Sugarloaf Mountain, and other magnficent wines), make GREAT wines that you want to buy again and again, and THEN give all profits to charity. The wines have to be great or you will not buy anymore and we arent able to give to the charities.

Great wine first, then do good.

Lemme just say that all we want to do is make great wine, give something back...and have a ton o' fun doing it. Thanks!

Admirable salesmanship, but fairly certain you'll be sold out in about 45 seconds here.

EDIT: Did we just travel back in time? The yellow bar got bigger...

Touché.


Unrelated... but did the progress bar just move UP and the button stop bouncing for anyone else?

We have rooms at the winery Cynthy. Shhhh, dont tell Judd.

Yes, the bar definitely got bigger. Maybe the woot staffers were out stealing more of it for us.

Yup, the bar went up.

They just found the 10 cases WD had been hiding away in his office hoping no one would notice.

Liked the first bottle I got from the last time it was offered on woot. This gives me a chance to have another without upsetting the delicate balance that is my tiny cellar.

Sounds great. I'll try that with at least one bottle.

I'm a NY City guy (Flushing Queens, as in Fran Dresher, the Nanny person from that stupid show) but thanks nonetheless... I may get out that way some time, if it doesn't break off and fall into the Pacific before I do. ;)

Anytime Cynthy,

We have fun at what we do here. If you are ever in Sonoma County, come see us sometime. We run a fun place here and make some fine wine.

Drop us a note when you come out, jmorris@michelschlumberger.com

I nearly never post as I'm a lurker by nature, but I have to say I'm loving the guys hawking the wine. Bought one because they're my kind of people!

I suppose WD deserves it for all the great stuff he brings to us...

Ehh, scratch that, MUST HAVE THE PRECIOUS!

Yeah, all I have to do is not be married for almost 26 years and book a flight to California! Don't tell hubby!

LMAO over this post!!! Thanks so much for the welcome comments from all. I have really enjoyed reading the comments for this wine.

hyuk, hyuk...she said Lurker!

Great causes, great wine, too.

I am heading to Napa in September, is your winery open for a tasting/visit as well?

humanitas wrote:I like everything about this string!

It's VERY tongue-in-cheek. I have oil heating.

Ok, I'm in. Everybody's been so funny & put me in such a good mood, I let go of some of my greenbacks. So, I just gave to charity AND I'm gonna get some knockout wine (that tastes like a curtain/baseball glove)? Good for my heart in a couple of ways.
