What is that, something like 4 out of the last 5 offers were sold out... Pretty impressive..

I'm getting impatient for my vino. You would think these items would ship a lot faster than they do since the winery only has a small amount of shipping labels to print.

Glad there wasn't any holiday that these would have been good for as the Rabbit died.

My case landed today, everything looks great!

Did a 3-way split with co-workers, probably will regret it

Gard included a wine.woot special in the box, you can reorder another mixed case, except this one has the 2009 vs 2008 dry Riesling for the same wine.woot price.

Also some woot deals on their reds, nice!

Mine is still floating in UPS Never Never Land the UPS site won't allow a redirect/hols at UPS until after the first delivery is refused because no one was home. I think this sucks and adds about 2-3 day of riding around on a hot truck in south Texas.

Never fear, Woody1: Our offers shipped just as quickly as possible, and most left our location on Monday, April 9. Don't hesitate to email us at wine@gardvintners.com if you need any assistance. Thanks!

Whoa, I didn't even catch that when I opened my package. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Mine was delivered with no signature required...just found it on the front porch when we got home. I guess that is because it was being sent from the winery and not Woot!. Regardless, looks great and will have to try one soon! Thanks!

I'm hoping they do the same with mine. Of course, this is the only day no one will be home and it's out for delivery!

Mine too!
Of course this is the first weekday I have been home in about 3 months... usually my neighbor has to flag down the driver to sign for it

Really excited to see that the specials in the box still offer the $5 shipping.

This was shipped via UPS, who from my experience, is a lot more lax on their signature requirements. When fed ex delivers to my apartment, they require me or my wife to sign, and will not allow the apartment office manager to sign and hold the package if we are not home. UPS will deliver it right to the office and not even require a signature.

Ours arrived on Monday... UPS driver left at front door, no signature required.

My tasting notes on the Freya:

DW and I had a bottle of this for dinner tonight with shrimp seafood salad. I loved it. Strong floral and melon notes with just a touch of sweetness - not sure if that's true RS or just associated with the fruity and floral notes. Very crisp with very distinct minerality that integrates well. A very solid offering and a great value at the wine.woot offering price. Easily my favorite of the four wines in that offering. Auto-buy the opportunity comes back. Rated very good verging on excellent (87-89)

Was a quality purchase! One of the more interesting (in a good way) selections I've picked up.
