WHERE IS MY KRAVE JERKY!

Do we have any stats for this wine? pH? TA? Alcohol %? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

Lots of neglect for Tennessee today. Would have pulled the trigger on this one and the Meeker if I could have had them shipped to me.

If the winemaker is out there... buy a TN license! We're the 17th most populous state (there's over 6.3 million of us).

how does that splash of Viognier affect it?

Can I request that the next item be Sherry- and that you deliver it to me in the next 15 minutes- I'm craving a glass right now.

Thank you for basing your woot-off on my frivolous demands.

"The ’08 Grenache shows red fruits, along with kirsch, clove, black currants and pepper spice. This wine has depth and focus, yet retains elegance and restraint through its balance."

I had to google kirsch to find out what the heck it was. It's German for cherry. Seriously, why be pretentious? Just say cherry next time.

doesn't this company also sell a delicious pinot syrah? Please sell that blend.

Maybe the chemical factory where it's made was in flood affected portions of Thailand ;)

See I knew what kirsch means, but I thought cherry was a red fruit :P

I'm not complaining, just glad the wood went down;) But it would be really nice to see a Riesling or Pinot Grigio come up...

Something so I don't feel I've turned red....
[Mod: Ooo, let's just not go that route, okay.]

Edit: My apologies, figured the anti part of it would make it ok..)


Fine print:
Hope this doesn't offend anyone!

Don't encourage them! that stuff is candied connective tissue with some meat attached, not jerky.

Actually kirsch is cherry liqueur - usually with a slightly bitter almond edge from using the pits in the processing. A distinctly different flavor than a fresh cherry, so I appreciated the use.

Kirsch is actually a cherry liqueur. It has a very certain cherry-ish taste but certainly not the flavor of juicy sweet cherries.

Edit-helpful but slow on the trigger apparently

Edit 2 - but faster than some! ;-)

Kirsh is cherry brandy, short for kirschwasser.

Edit: I see the masses have already gotten to this

I now wish I'd drank this last night instead of the Meeker Grenache...then I'd know whether to get more!

Texacaliali, Have you tried this particular wine? I haven't ever tried Broc Cellars and am intrigued. Your endorsement is swaying me toward the trigger, but I must balance this with my knowledge that my DH will kill me if he finds out I bought more wine!

Grenache = in for 1

Hopefully the species of rat they make that from is extinct now.

I was all set to buy and then there was no Louisiana shipping. I'm sad but my wallet is happy. This woot-off has been tough on it.

Would totally be in for 2 of these. Alas, no shipping to MI

At least my wallet (and SWMBO) will be happy.

Last time this was offered, texacaliali wrote; "seriously, Broc Cellars is my favorite new discovery this year. I have poured the Dry Stack Grenache to a few dozen friends so far and 100% thought this wine is delicious. I typically decant this before dinner and taste it for a few hours, very nice soft fruit, layers of mineral (clay) and a very smooth finish always. The acidity is right on the mark too. If you are up for something new to try, this is your woot! Thanks for listening."

The CT comments have me a bit worried. Butterscotch and wheat on the nose? Sharp aftertaste?

Anybody know if they sold out of the orange wine that was listed this month? I been watching for it since I saw the woot off?

Just wondering if I will miss out?

How do I check which of my posts are quality ones? I see I have two instead of one!

Curious to see what I wrote

I can't resist a Grenache. I am also so interested in that 1% Viognier.

Thanks for forwarding, very helpful!

The only way I have been able to figure out is to look at the quality posts for each woot posted in, searching for yours..

I was hoping this would come back as an offering - thank you wine.woot! This is a wonderfully drinkable wine with lots to enjoy from beginning to end - and from start to finish. If you're on the fence, get off it and press the gold button. It's a woot off for heaven's sake!

Bummer, no Bordeaux Of Chardonnay for me

Uggghhh... so sad- the Barrels of Crud just passed on the main site and once again I was unable to get it despite getting to the "order" page several times and the "Buy it" page several times.

So many years of trying and only one bag to show for it!

I'm depressed. I need this wine now to drown my sorrows in.

Woo hoo... at last after the longest shut-out, I did get the Bedrock of Culture! Now, back to wine. Yay.

That Barrels of Crud sale had to have been rigged with some one using an autobuy and a DOS attack... Nothing but 503 and access denied error messages from the second it started... Very disappointing..

Sigh... I also missed the Big 'Ole Crab..... Even though I clicked the button and got to the order page.... Oh well.

I don't think I have ever had a Grenache. Not sure if I would like it...

Any similarities with the B Cellar offerings that came out late last year? I LOVED that...

Edited for spelling

Yeah... it's kinda frustrating when people use software to buy their Barrels of Crud and us who have faithfully waited in line and paid attention to whats on sale get nothing.

Love grenache and gotta support the East Bay winemakers out there, so in for one.

Meaning, I think, look at the various comments highlighted on the main page and/or at the top of the discussion for that Woot, your higher-quality post should be among them.

I just found my *ONE* quality post that way..... Here I was thinking my witty comments were quality... Not so much. Apparently a question on deals.woot about the weight of a sewing machine was what got it.... Oh well.
