And when you think about it, aren't all books in a library mini mysteries of their own? Will the book be good? Will you read 50 pages and get bored and completely forget about it? Will you find a dead spider crushed between pages 73 and 74? Regardless of the answers to these questions, we suspect that most books are best enjoyed with a glass of wine by your side.

For our last hurrah at Wine.Woot, we're reprising our most popular offering ever - that's right, it's the return of the Twisted Mystery Box!
Twisted Oak Library Wines, Mystery
We've selected an assortment of library wines that are at least 5 years old (from vintage date), some going all the way back to 2005. In your Box you will receive 4 library wines and 2 current vintage limited-production wines with a range of both higher and lower SRPs, including some library wines under screw cap (won't that be fun?) While we will work with your Woot Minions to create a Box with balanced value and variety, they will be loading them up otherwise completely at random and so "you get what you get". In fact, some Boxes will contains one well-aged white wine - I know that may alarm some of you, but rest assured that we have selected whites that in tasting trials at the winery have been totally amazing. In your Box you will find wines that are ready to amaze you now, and the newer vintages should have plenty of life in them (say, anything 2009 and later.)
Disclaimer: While these wines have been stored continuously since bottling in our temperature controlled warehouse, and thus should have the best chance of survival, there is always the chance that a bottle will have gone bad. And also, we only have so many of each. So, these bottles are being sold as is, and no replacements will be made unless there is damage in shipping.
Have fun and Stay Twisted! - Jeff "El Jefe" Stai
We’re often asked what the background of Twisted Oak is, to which we invariably reply, “The Sierra Nevada, of course!” If we are pressed further, we are forced to admit that Twisted Oak Winery is the culmination of a delusion, er, vision by Jeff and Mary Stai. The vision was of a terroir based winery making superior, hand crafted, yummy wines, and then having more Twisted fun than anyone in the industry selling them.
Jeff and Mary found 120 acres just outside Murphys in the Sierra Foothills at nearly 2000 feet elevation. It is there that they planted 10 acres of vineyards in Tempranillo, Grenache, Graciano, and Garnacha to take advantage of the continental Mediterranean soil types and climate. It is on top of this property, with an amazing view of the Sierras, where the state-of-the-art, no-pumpover, four-level gravity flow winery was built. When completed in 2004 it included open tank, stainless steel fermenters along with our own 300-foot barrel cave. This is all under the watchful eye of a 350 year old California Blue Oak tree that not only is our namesake, but also adorns every Twisted Oak bottle.
Jeff and Mary work closely with winemaker Scott Klann in crafting the Twisted Oak wines. Scott has been in the wine making business over 15 years. Scott’s knowledge of what works best is unmatched in the area (it doesn’t hurt that he was raised in Murphys.) Scott’s experience and personal relationships with the growers in Calaveras County allows Twisted Oak Winery to purchase the best fruit from these outstanding vineyards to complement our estate grape programs. Whatever the formula Jeff, Mary and Scott, have devised for Twisted Oak, it has been validated by the hundreds of consumers that buy us out of wine each and every year. Twisted Oak Winery has also received accolades by publications and competitions which have graced us with many scores of 90 or above. We think the Wine Enthusiast put it best “The gang at Twisted Oak Winery are taking winemaking in this area to the next level…” Cheers! And always, keep it Twisted! Twisted Oak Winery!
