Seems like this SIWBM might be sending you over the edge

Another slam dunk for me IN

Thanks Woot!

This winery is a 30 minute drive from my house

Is this "Said I wouldn't buy more"?
Or, "Sangiovese is what beckons me"?

I wish I could trade my previously purchased 4 pack for this one. Anybody want to make that swap? Or take the two non-reserve off my hands for a nice intro to Noceto?

Baby + losing an income to take care of said baby = SIWBM.

Since you are nearby, come visit! If you call ahead, we'd be happy to give you and several friends, neighbors, or relatives a tour. It's a fun time in the cellar, as most of the new red wine is settling in and the 2011 are beginning to show what they may really be.

I have purchased Noceto previously and they were memorable enough for me to order again and that is very rare. I am in for a couple.

Since I already have 14 bottles of Noceto on hand or on the way (thanks to woot!), my SIWBM is holding on this. Otherwise this would be close to an autobuy. (I've got 14 bottles because of it's past autobuy status.)

If you like Sangio this is great stuff. If you don't know if you like Sangio and would like to be introduced, this is a great opportunity to get acquainted.

I am quite new to Wine Woot - mind sharing what SIWBM stands for?
Thanks (From Ghana)

SIWBM = Self-Imposed Wine Buying Moratorium.

Sometimes you might see a reference to a SWMBOWBM. That is a "She Who Must Be Obeyed Wine Buying Moratorium".

Hahaahah - Ok, I get it. They sound like terrible spells then. Something worse than Lent.

I'll start buying for my Xmas break back in the US... Thanks.

Bought case the last time and have served 3 bottles and got nothing but raves. Love this stuff!!! In for 3 again.

Damn you woot. SIWBM as well. Why couldn't this just be the Resirva? I wanted to try some of that, but don't need more of the regular.

good reviews, in for one

MD on the list of ship-to states but it isn't letting me check out? I kinda want this.

GAH! If I didn't buy a case of the 2009 normale two weeks ago or whenever it was just here, I would be all over this one. First time buyers remorse as 6 of each would have been preferred especially for $15 more.

Riserva is my favorite wine woot of all time. Thanks for bringing it back! So happy....

Jim, Are there any major differences between these wines and the previous years from the earlier woot offerings? Can you give us an idea of the drinking windows on these? I'd like to know how long I am going to pretend to keep them. Also a recipe for Pork Spiedini would be welcome.

Whatever, I am in for 2 because (despite my delusions that I would cellar a few) I enjoyed every one of my previous purchases. Thanks for giving us another chance.

Looking at the two wines, the 2009 Noceto Sangiovese is the 20th vintage our flagship wine. It is remarkably consistent year to year as it is targeted at mid-range plus Chianti Classico wines with a bit of California sun. The Riserva is selected lots attempting to be more California in style without forgetting the Tuscan roots. The 2008 Riserva is 100% estate grapes and while the lot selection is pretty stable, the wine continues to evolve vintage to vintage more than the Noceto or normale Sangiovese.
I believe both wines will benefit from cellaring and could last a decade or more. But, both are ready to drink now.
Hope that helps.

Sorry, off topic, just poking my head in here to see if anyone knows if there will be any Blitzen this year. Big hit with the family last year, and shockingly it's all gone.

I don't recall if there was any Blitzen left after last year's sales or not, but there should be a new Woot Cellars offering pretty soon (within the next week or two) if it plays out the same as the last few years.

Argh woot! If I hadn't *just bought a case of the Normale that you were selling just last week and then 2.5 weeks ago*, I would be in on this in a second. But that case already put me over my storage capacity. Sigh; would have preferred this deal since I have been known to love certain bottles of the risvera.

Anybody who has cellar space, you should be in for the max. Vino Noceto is one of the best QPR purchases you'll find on this site.

Sadly (very, very, very sadly!), I must pass due to lack of space and just having bought a case of the normale and not needing additional bottles of it.

I will attempt to cellar a few although I have been spectacularly unsuccessful in the past. Thank you for your very helpful answer.

I think I'm in for a third order if I can do it.

I would purchase this, as Sangio is one of my favorites!! But, alas, I live in VA!!!!

Maryland is on the list for this wine, but I get a message "can't ship to that state" when I try to order.

May want to adjust the list, or allow shipment. I'm hoping for the latter. Don't care if you get in trouble.

In for one, always a great wine and a great value.

I've skipped this before - don't think I'm going to be able to hold off this time... must... resist... don't... want... to...

Gah, if Scott's even telling us he's buying, this is beyond a no-brainer. SIWBM be damned!

I've been trying so hard not to buy any wine since my lastbottlewine.com purchases from this summer showed up a couple weeks ago. However, I love sangiovese and all the comments from the various users are too much to resist. I knew I should've never read this discussion .

Edit:
Last Wooter to Woot:sdwindansea

I blame Scott Harvey for making me go in for two instead of one.

I checked my account and all I have purchased this month is gourmet peanut butter cups. With encouraging comments from Mr. WD and Mr. Harvey, I am in for one and looking forward to it!
Cheers!

Last Wooter to Woot:cynthylee Last Purchase:a few seconds ago

I've now been buying noceto wines for 4-5 years. Has anyone noticed upwardly trending fruit/alc? I used to think of them as more restrained.

Will think on it.

Always enjoyed Noceto wines over the years. I've been under a 6 month moratorium to make some more cellar room and I can't think of a better wine to start restocking

Is anybody from Woot going to address the fact that Maryland is on the ship-to list but it isn't letting us check out? Two of us have asked already.

I bought this offering a couple years ago and really enjoyed it, so I jumped on the offering a couple weeks ago when it came up for 4.. kinda wish I had waited for this 2 and 2 combo.

edited to update:
Sorry, Maryland is excluded. We've changed the states list to reflect that.

great wine for everyday consumption
