This will make a cute gift for my rock climbing buddies

Looks like the crevasse leading into Petra.

On the White:

Steve Heimoff
A fun, easy wine with lots to like. It’s a little sweet, but nicely crisp in acidity, with tantalizing citrus fruit, white flower, vanilla and butter flavors. A dash of Riesling, Muscat and Viognier fattens up the blend.

On the Red:

Steve Heimoff
Made from Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and a few other varieties, this is a terrific wine for your house red. It’s dry and lusty, with berry, spice and tobacco flavors that have a touch of raisining. Production was 6,300 cases.

" This is a commendable everyday wine that should appeal to a wide audience."

Digging deeper, the White also scored a Silver medal there.

Another nice article on the red:

Exerpted: "This is not a pretentious wine but one that is at ease with a family dinner, after a pick-up game on Sunday afternoon or a romantic smoked ham quiche dinner by the fire.

At this value price ($14), open another bottle for dessert."

This will arrive before Christmas, yes? That's the one thing I need to know and can't find confirmed here.

Purchased one red and one white in the aseptic package to take camping this past summer. -- Yes, we take wine camping.

Was nicely surprised by the white which was delicious COLD (Note: We were camping in FL in July -- bad idea.) Great flavor and not too acidic, but definitely not sweet. As it warmed up a bit, the fruit flavors became more apparent and we finished the white "bag" well before the red, although the heat could have had something to do with that as well.

I was less impressed with the red, but remember noting that it was unobjectionable and easy-drinking. Typically, I am more of a red wine drinker, though, and tend to spend more on my red bottles than whites.

Brought what was left back from the camping trip, and it was nice with pizza. Full bodied and rich, but without any standout flavors.

Yay, thank you! Buying two!

I purchase wine cases from a few other sites and am able to have them delivered to me here in Indiana, no problem. A couple of them use a third party courier to get around the restrictions.

It is very dissapointing that this great deal cannot be mine just because of where I live, I really want it.

12 bottles on 12-12-12? I do believe this is a wildly appropriate day to purchase my very first wine woot.

Baker's dozen tomorrow?

Off Topic.
Did I miss the Woot Christmas Wine offering?

YES

This would be appropriate to drink when we go off the fiscal cliff! Of course I'll go off the fiscal cliff much earlier if I buy this.

Finally, a wine targeted towards rock climbers.

Where do we buy those? pirates.woot?

Dang, was traveling out of the Country and this one shipped to NJ - a rarity here.

Thanks

I am so lost now. I have ordered several wines from here to the point that I was full. Now my stock is starting to come down and I was going to order these but now Virginia is off the list! I guess I will have to guard my woot varieties closer for a while. Man, now I will have to go to the local store to get all my wine... I had fell in love with the delivery to the door and only going to the stores to get local wines.

Read why Virginia might be out of the game for awhile!

Cesare, can we please include this in your initial post going forward?

I am all over this EXCEPT the addition of Reisling and Vignier to the SB blend...what a bummer! I "dislike" both those varietals and had a bad expreience with the White Diablita (SB and Resiling blend).

I am down to split red-white with someone in LA-area..

North316,

Thanks, I completely missed them being removed until I tried to order. Not your fault, I just assumed since my last order that nothing had changed.

Very tempting, i thought the clif wines were a great value in the past. But I was disappointed by the more recent climber releases. 2009 maybe?

That's fine... but the world comes to an end on the 21st, so Christmas delivery isn't helpful.

Yeah, I liked the Clif whites in the past, and for $8 a bottle, I can take the risk.

Amazon to Collect Sales Tax from Massachusetts Residents. That means Woot will have to start also I assume.Under the agreement, Amazon will start collecting the Massachusetts sales taxes on Nov. 1, 2013.

Amazon is supposed to collect sales tax from California too, but that hasn't affected the prices for woot yet. I think.

C'mon, there's only one Cliff Climber!

Not to dampen anyone's spirit here, but these are clearance items and you can walk in the winery and buy at $8/bottle currently. (Less for a whole case). So if you add tax, it's a little savings.

Of course, if you don't happen to live near by, then add in $25-$30 for shipping and you are getting a deal, just not quite the 53% off listed.

COUNT YOUR BOTTLES !!!!

I just got my shipment and they shorted me one bottle of white! Got 5 not 6 !! :-(

I'm off to contact Woot Customer Service
