Red/white mix because I love his whites (Outlier was FANTASTIC) and his blends are also spectacular.

If you didn't get the Woot offer the other day, I'd say the Red/White case, but if you bought the Woot offer, I'd say the Reds only case. I went in for both. It will probably be all I buy today.

*edited since i realized the offers were posted on here in the reverse order as i was looking at them*

Any Austinish folks who want to go in for some of the Tercero wines, just PM or email me. I bought both offers, so I've got more than enough to split.

Thanks guys. In for the red/white mix. Never tried tried Tercero; looking forward to it!

Sojourn $50 off 4 bottles + free shipping. Their $39 Sonoma Coast (which is quite good although I've only had the 2010), should be 4 bottles for $106 after this deal shipping included.

I may be in for 2 pending tyger...

I may be up for sharing the all reds Tercero case with someone in the LA area (but need to be really in the LA area since I have no room to hold an extra half case right now).

I was thinking something similar, but considering whether I really ought to be getting another half case

For Sojourn, I got:

2 2011 Sonoma Coast PN
1 2011 Sangiacomo Vineyard PN
1 2011 Gap's Crown PN

Tasting notes in CT look great for all 3 of these, and I've got 2010s to taste against in my cellar.

Total with shipping was $130.

Sojourn is tempting, but tyger and I are waiting to see the other 2 PN offers we're interested in (Patricia Green and Windy Oaks).

If we do grab Sojourn over the other two, I think we'll do:

2 2011 Sonoma Coast PN
2 2011 Sangiacomo Vineyard PN

One and one for each of us.

My budget says I'm done for the day, but I'm going to research the other two PN producers you mentioned.

That's why I'm staying away from the $30+ bottles, even though many seem like great deals. 2013 is supposed to be a wine drinking year for me, not buying

I seem to have the opposite strategy. 3 $40 bottles + PN (which will likely be $25-$40). I suck at this!

This is where I can harness my inherent ability to not decide stuff. By the time I decide I'd be ok with it, the deal is gone. Procrastinators - leaders of tomorrow.

I am not looking at any of these deals.

So we both just wait until it's too late and then say "damn" or say "saved some money and have enough already?"

That's what I went in for. On a pinot kick right now (picked up the Expression offer from their website the other day).

Just can't seem to convince myself to pull the trigger on the Tercero. I saw the buzz when offered on Woot - but didn't pull the trigger then either.

FWIW, tyger and I are grabbing Sojourn and passing on the other two, assuming tyger answers his email and orders. Ahem!!!

Want to go in on the Sojourn (1 of Sangiacomo for each of us and 1 of the Sonoma Coast for each of us)??

I think everyone who goes in on the Sojourn will be pleased unless you are a hater of Sonoma Coast Pinots.

time2testit wrote:Want to go in on the Sojourn (1 of Sangiacomo for each of us and 1 of the Sonoma Coast for each of us)??

Do it! Tyger and I did.

And am in on the Jean Edwards cab - 1 of each cab.

I just hate buying 1 bottle, whenever it comes time to open it - I wish I had another.

edit: went with an extra of the Howell Mtn - knew I'd regret it if I didn't.

kylemittskus wrote:Do it! Tyger and I did.

We would, but Klez disappeared (even tried his cell). On the fence though, since after adding in CA tax it would average out to $35/bottle on the 4. I understand it's a nice savings off retail pricing and shipping, but still.

Excellent. That means I owe tyger $70 - the difference from the $130 he owes me after he bought us the Jean Edwards.

We need a wine-trade calculator.

Ahem....Sojourn order in, a Cabot order in and man I would like to order some of that Stefania Wine! Really really good bought some last year ugghh.

I'm an accountant but this is just too much, I will throw the numbers at you and you tell me where we stand

I've been eyeing that offer...need a push...

What do you recommend for Cabot?

Anything they make...but I do love the Humbolt Syrahs...a lot!

On the Halcon - did you guys go with the 750ml or manage to get the Magnum vertical?

dalematthew wrote:On the Halcon - did you guys go with the 750ml or manage to get the Magnum vertical?

I have a mag and 1.5 case of standard.

I picked up another 2 of
2007 Viña Eguía Rioja Reserva Tempranillo

Excellent QPR from Costco at 9.99 a bottle.

I have on order the 3 magnum vertical, but thinking I should go with the 750 for storage etc.

dalematthew wrote:On the Halcon - did you guys go with the 750ml or manage to get the Magnum vertical?

Ended up with the mag vertical and 3-each of the 2009/2010 750's.

I like your approach - that's what I was thinking

Ended up here with the Syrah and Klammy Cuvee, to save a few $$$.

Interesting, guess I don't really know what a Tempe should drink like yet. Got a couple as well and notes on the one I drank were neutral, thinking it seemed what a $10 bottle should drink like. Perhaps I need to revisit this with a different attitude.

Sojourn, tempting. Any comments on style beyond what are on the site. The 'forward' comments are my concern.

Gets lots of love but haven't had it yet. Glad I'm able to now with tyger.
