Doh! I should have picked up on that, but it was late and I was tired...

RJ- I can hold 3 for you until D&D and will send it back with Sparky in the sad event you can't make it.

Sweet, thanks.

Did both you and bsevern pop for a 6-pac? A case between the two of you? If so, four each would work too.

Yep we both took a 6-pac

Would you like 3 of mine?

In the past a number of people have commented in this thread about Tallulah wines. At WTSO right now is Tallulah Wines Farina Vineyard, Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay 2009 @ $19.99, 4x free shipping.

I've never had a Tallulah white, but I'm curious. I've enjoyed all their wines I've tried. I'm on a SIWBM though, and this deal doesn't seem cheap enough for me to break it.

I wouldn't mind trying a bottle too, but don't really need more then one (too many whites on hand that need to be drunk within the next year).

Been wanting to try a Brunello for a while, so I couldn't pass this deal up on WTSO:



2005 La Fiorita Brunello $24.99
Free Shipping on 4 or more

Iron Horse has a nice deal available for a limited time. They're recommending their Commander's Palace (New Orleans restaurant) bubbly for the Super Bowl, and they put out a 6 pack with 2 of those, 2 of the '08 Winter's Cuvée (my current favorite from their vast lineup), and 2 of the '08 Classic Vintage Brut. $220 and change, with $10 shipping with a code. If you're interested, and didn't get the email, PM me, and I can forward it.

Gary Farrell Syrah Ramal Vineyard 2008 for $19 on LastBottle. Free shipping on 4.

Beserker Day 2013 coming up on Sunday. Last year they had some nice offers including a couple from Tercero.

You did spring big for the Halcon...i'm sure you have at least one buy left in you.

Invino has a $10 off coupon if you "like" them on facebook, pays for shipping.

Yes it does, but I can't use it with any of my insider credits! That's the norm for Invino promos anyway, but sure wish I could use both...

deleted. Looking....

Cindy/WL had it up for 19.99 / bottle. Free shipping on 4 I believe?

Death to both, it sounds like.

Anyone getting in on the Campesino Syrah Sangiacomo Old Lakeville Vineyard 2010 on Lastbottle @ $32/bottle?

Scored 95 points from the Rhone Report:

A gorgeous, cool-climate Syrah that does everything right, the 2010 Campesino Syrah Sangiacomo Old Lakeville Vineyard is 100% Syrah that spent 18 months in a scant 25% new French oak. It offers a thrilling, energetic bouquet of pure blackberries, raspberries, smoked bacon, leafy herbs, spring flowers, and hints of pepper that flows seamlessly to a medium to full-bodied wine that is perfectly balanced, beautifully textured, and very long. This incredibly elegant, finesse-driven Syrah has integrated acidity, a layered mouth feel, and builds in richness and depth over the evening. While it might not last as long as a top Hermitage or Côte-Rôtie, it will benefit from 2-3 years in the cellar, and thrill for over a decade.

When Was This?

I see Altvs Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007 for $50 (4 bottle free shipping)

A nice deal there but 4 bottles is putting me way above my spending limit on wine this month

It was just up, and they said it would sell out fast (which it did this time).

Here's further commentary from them on it:

Macario Montoya, proprietor of this delicious wine, is a good local friend of ours and by all accounts a serious up and coming winemaker here in the Valley. Well, he had a few extra cases of his totally killer Syrah that he graciously offered us (he only makes about 4 barrels) and we bought all we could (pretty much just for us to drink at home!). Then, about 2 weeks ago he scores 95 POINTS from Jeb Dunnick in the Rhone Report (his ’08 scored 93 points, his ’09, 94 points --- you see a trend?!). Sure enough, we got a call from Macario pleading to get some wine back.

I have purchased the 08 and the 09. Preferred the 08 over the 09 FWIW. Saw this offer and knew that the price ($32) was not that great. You can buy this from Campesino for $35/bottle. Our local Wine Style store had this for $32/bottle. If you have not tried his wines, I would seek them out to get at least a bottle. This is well made syrah. BTW he works at Pina wineries, besides doing his own label.

I did buy a couple of bottles of the altvs. Too good of a price to pass up outstanding CS.

Deal on Winestyr through midnight on Friday:

Use code SEXYTIME to receive $25 off purchases of $50 or more. And as always, spend over $100 at a single winery and receive free shipping (https://www.winestyr.com/pages/how-it-works).

They have Tallulah on there, FYI.

I ended up pulling the trigger on four bottles of Campesino. I'll test one now after a long decant, and lay the others down. Have to make something good to go along with it....what are people pairing Syrah with these days?

Steak, if it's a big Syrah. If not, pork or a heavier chicken dish.
