clue? this is a new winery you won’t recognize. however this rarely offered varietal is making some waves in Lodi. i think the last time we offered it was from Broken Earth a few years back.
@Winedavid49 Graciano? Tannat?
Unless we’re going white - Clairette blanche, maybe? (I know it’s too much to hope you got us Acquiesce as a happy new year gift.)
@InFrom@ScottW58@Winedavid49 Last year we bought the second fewest bottles than in any year since 2013. So we’re moving in the right direction for a change
@Winedavid49 Ardèche Chardonnay and Viognier from Louis Latour? Unless you secured some of their Volnay?
I’ll nitpick and say that they don’t actually sound the same…but close enough for a clue!
@msten@rjquillin@Winedavid49
Yeah, but the “with all due respect to Suzy…this winery” leads me to believe it’s not Noceto…
Perhaps I am reading into it too deeply.
@karenhynes@msten@rjquillin@Winedavid49 Also, I think that “A” in the clue has to be meaningful. I was trying to fit a winery that started in A, but d’Arie works.
@MarkDaSpark Wolverine territory. if we are are going to wade into that neck of the woods, you know it’s going to be this varietal. i bet Scott Harvey like’s this one.
@klezman@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49
I ended up in Kansas, with Girard as the “seat” of Crawford County. Home on the Range (…where the buffalo roam…) was written in and is the official state song of Kansas…the buffalo/american bison is the state animal. I got hoodwinked by history (and WD’s original second clue ;))!
@Winedavid49 Harvest Moon keeps aged Zin around and they also age exceptionally well, but I don’t think that fits the clue. Sounds like 6-Sigma or something like that given the underlying exponential nature of the math. But I can’t see how that fits.
Could be Wilson?
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 the end of that game was just ridiculous. Also why don’t both teams get a chance on offense? Makes no sense to me in the playoffs.
No idea on the clue, though.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49 it’s similar, but if the first possession scores a touchdown that’s the end of the game. Seems totally unfair to not let the other team have a crack at it.
@klezman@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49 My thought has been (for at least in the playoffs) a team wins in OT when they take possession of the ball while holding the lead.
@Mark_L@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49 That makes a ton of sense. Nearly or completely equivalent to “leader after two possessions”. After the last 5 minutes of regulation how on earth do you not let Josh Allen get a chance to even it up?!
@klezman@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49 Not really equivalent. For example, Team A gets the ball first and scores a field goal. Team B then gets the ball and scores a touchdown. In my scenario, Team B would not be the winner until they stop Team A from scoring (a touchdown) again (i.e., take possession while holding the lead). If Team A initially scored a TD, team B would need to answer with a TD in order to continue the game.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49
“The mastermind behind this wine is no other than winemaker Osvaldo Amado, named on different occasions as the best winemaker in Portugal”…
Murray, Salvestrin, Muscardini, Ty Caton would be estate wines. Other early offers that are not estate would be Rasmussen and Roessler. Nostalgia for wild early days.
Well, Lulu’s hit song was “To Sir with Love”. Sidney Poitier’s name in the movie was Mark Thackeray. Sean Thackeray is a noted winemaker, BUT, I don’t remember any of his wines on WW. (Loweeel, aka PetiteSirah on the old boards, was a fan of his PS.)
St. Supéry was the first WW offer, and they haven’t been on Casemates.
I’ve been trying to remember if WD said who he worked with back then. All I can think of is that they might have been the first or early offers.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49
Slingshot seems more suited for an extended quantity offer, not some limited Friday sale.
But AS and SG fit that description as well.
@Winedavid49 Friends, SB, and Chard seem to be about the only white offerings from Pedroncelli. Maybe a white only mix? I don’t think we’ve seen one here.
So, i don’t know if you’ve been reading Founder @snapster recent blog over on Meh.com. Fascinating stuff.
So, some news, Casemates is going to fall under this new department run by Snapster himself. Among the overall changes is the name InLo (aka inverse logistics). Come to find out every site that falls under this new division will have the parent name InLO in the title.
To play off that theme, Matt (fearless leader) has come up with the name “WineLo” as a new approach. So, once we have the programming bandwidth, we’ll be making a new skin and everything. WineLo lives! more to come!! @snapster
Clue? another western novel? oh wait, it’s a great deal on French wine!
@Winddavid49, you know, maybe you should drum up some business/awareness for casemates by selling some promotional wine deal on meh. Like maybe some rosé? Maybe that begins with P?
@MarkDaSpark this label has an old fashioned one of these on the label. the label name is a description of the action of the item. can drink good wine with out them.
@klezman@rjquillin@Winedavid49
My first thought was IH since their website literally asks, ‘how will you celebrate’, but @winedavid49 mentioned they have not been very forthcoming with their bubbly so deferred to Gruet. Was Gratitude the last bubbly offer we saw from IH? That was a nice offer.

and I found this
@bahwm We can’t imagine not having some in the house. We still have our coupon for a tractor tour of the vineyard from a random case purchase at that other site; we hope to get out there soon-ish! @sndg said Sat, Jan 26th 2019 at 2:03pm ET
@davirom@InFrom@klezman
Would love to meet the kiddos! Unfortunately, no current plans to head West anytime soon. One of our friends is going to Sonoma and has bought his fair share of Iron Horse from both WW and CM.
@InFrom@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 A few wineries use the name The Godfather, and there is also Vino Godfather. WRT Stella, hopefully WD isn’t trying to compete with Walmart!
Aargh … been having issues loading Casemate pages. I refreshed, and it didn’t appear any guess yet. But it must not have refreshed correctly, since the only post I saw was WD’s.
OU Sam brought up Sam Noble Museum. Note: Not one word of who “Sam Noble” was on their site. Anywhere. Even about us fails to mention him (Oilman, grad of OU. Foundation donated money for new museum. Info found elsewhere!).
@MarkDaSpark pardon the delay. snuck out and played golf (rare) and my buddy wanted to play an “emergency 3” holes after 18. betting had nothing to do with it… .
clue? this import is from a “historic house in Veneto”.
@MarkDaSpark TGIF ! another part of the world tonight. Reminds me of the guy in the red and white striped shirt but with one slot different in the alphabet. Where’s?
@Winedavid49 Dang, WD, I’m just in the middle of watching the match. I managed to avoid notifications all day, only to be undone on my favorite wine site!
But yes, he sure looked impressive in the first set.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 Oy, I remember once I accidentally came up to Sonoma that weekend. I got stuck on Highway 37 going across the top of the Bay. For like 45 minutes. I’d never been so happy to make it to the Viansa tasting room!
@Winedavid49
Happy 2022. has a nice ring to it.
clue? this is a new winery you won’t recognize. however this rarely offered varietal is making some waves in Lodi. i think the last time we offered it was from Broken Earth a few years back.
@Winedavid49
Grenache Noir?
Vermentino?
Muscat?
@Winedavid49 Graciano? Tannat?
Unless we’re going white - Clairette blanche, maybe? (I know it’s too much to hope you got us Acquiesce as a happy new year gift.)
@klezman @Winedavid49
I’ll add Carignan to the mix.
@klezman @Winedavid49
Wait!? You’re not buying anymore so the gifts are for us not you
@klezman @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 You’re just waiting to find out how long till he breaks.
@InFrom @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 Yes…yes he is. As am I. It’s a challenge for WD
@InFrom @klezman @ScottW58 Challenge accepted!
@kawichris650 @Winedavid49
Thinking Vermentino … maybe from Uvaggio or Urban Legend?
I would say Peltier, but they had a PS Offer on the old site (unless Old-Timers is getting to WD!).
And Markus Wine Co. is familiar from our Lodi/Amador tour!
@InFrom @klezman @Winedavid49
Lol he’s been talking that drivel since the day I met him! It’s kinda funny everytime I hear it
@InFrom @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 Last year we bought the second fewest bottles than in any year since 2013. So we’re moving in the right direction for a change
@klezman @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 It sure isn’t easy when you hang around here.
@Winedavid49
November from the outings
@Cerridwyn @Winedavid49
October 29th
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Close enough for government work
@Cerridwyn @Winedavid49
this wine comes comes from a stout ranch.
@Winedavid49 Heavyweight?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
wine aged in beer barrels…?
Farmstrong
@msten
Good guess. Seems to fit!
@Winedavid49 Everyone either knows the winery or is asleep. Can we please receive a clue?
@danandlisa here’s a try: Il Palagione
@danandlisa @Winedavid49 I see a place by that name in Tuscany… Can’t wait to see what we’re getting!
sorry, i suck at most Friday (old world) clues. and then i subconsciously avoid… stand by.
@Winedavid49
then don 't forget saturday
or the meade
OK @WineDavid49…it’s that time again!
“nay” and “nier” sound the same on this combo offer from our trusted French source.
@Winedavid49 Ardèche Chardonnay and Viognier from Louis Latour? Unless you secured some of their Volnay?
I’ll nitpick and say that they don’t actually sound the same…but close enough for a clue!
@klezman i believe the term “government work” was introduced recently!
Howdy folks.
Clue?
with all due respect to Suzy and of course the zing of this region, zinfandel. i give this winery an “A” for yours truly favorite Amador varietal.
Noceto, DeArie and Scott Harvey are the Amador usual suspects.
DiArie Barbera
@msten @karenhynes @winedavid49
Been quite a while since we’ve seen DiArie.
Would welcome them back.
But, Suzy; that just screams Noceto.
@msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Yeah, but the “with all due respect to Suzy…this winery” leads me to believe it’s not Noceto…
Perhaps I am reading into it too deeply.
@karenhynes @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49 I really, really hope so. It has been way too long.
@karenhynes @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Also, I think that “A” in the clue has to be meaningful. I was trying to fit a winery that started in A, but d’Arie works.
@InFrom @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
I was going to say d’Arie kinda starts with an “A”…kinda.
@InFrom @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
But I guess Andis really starts with an “A”.
@danandlisa @karenhynes @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Agree but sadly no
@danandlisa @karenhynes @msten @rjquillin @ScottW58 @Winedavid49
FYI,
Scott, Noceto, D’Arie, & Andis are the ones getting Zin from the OGP Vineyard.
@danandlisa @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 I don’t know if Di Arie still does - but Macchia does, if you recall from the 2018 Tour.
@danandlisa @karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin @ScottW58
good evening. clue?
same amount as Phoenix hoops starting line up.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
happy Friday!
another tough Friday offer clue…
Hans Jörg Böhm
@Winedavid49
Are we going to Portugal?
Quinta da Plansel?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Good job. Here’s hoping for an unfamiliar varietal.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Wolverine territory. if we are are going to wade into that neck of the woods, you know it’s going to be this varietal. i bet Scott Harvey like’s this one.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
St. Julian Riesling
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Is @WineDavid49 too engrossed in the Chiefs-Steelers game for a clue?
how 'bout them Niners! (sorry Texas).
this classic zin is carving out a beginning path.
@Winedavid49 Highway 12 Trailblazer Zin?
Feels like Monday, but it’s actually time for a clue!
@WineDavid49
@klezman i know right? company with same name near us: 21819
@klezman @Winedavid49 finally an offer from wine country gift baskets!
@CorTot @Winedavid49 Another Peterson offering, eh?
@CorTot @klezman @Winedavid49 well done. Peterson mechanical, purveyor of fine wines.
@CorTot @msten @Winedavid49 Funny thing is, my first thought was exactly what Cory thought.
@CorTot @klezman @msten @Winedavid49
I almost pulled a Peterson Barbera this evening, but ended up with a Pavi Dolcetto.
clue?
town of the same name is the county seat. if you can’t get it, i’ll give the state next…
@Winedavid49
Baker Lane?
Monticello?
Buena Vista?
There are way too many counties in this country…
@Winedavid49
Amavi?
Bergevin Lane?
Gård?
Walla Walla Vintners?
second clue: Buffaloes
@Winedavid49 Boulder works for the clues, but no idea on the wine or winery!
@Winedavid49
Scott Harvey / Jana?
@Winedavid49
Girard?
@Winedavid49
Meeker? Healdsburg?
Santa Rosa is county seat … buffaloes?
At least Amador High School has “Thundering Herd” with a Buffalo image!
@Winedavid49
BTW,
I see what you tried, but “town of the same name is the county seat” made it sound like town name equaled county name.
@Winedavid49 coming up with a solid clue is difficult. “We take nothing seriously but the wine itself.”
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I read the clue as intended and even scanned the Colorado county seats, but I missed Meeker!
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I ended up in Kansas, with Girard as the “seat” of Crawford County. Home on the Range (…where the buffalo roam…) was written in and is the official state song of Kansas…the buffalo/american bison is the state animal. I got hoodwinked by history (and WD’s original second clue ;))!
Tonight’s an aged Zin offer that we just kept coming back to when tasting. i, W_ think you will like this exponentially.
@Winedavid49 Wellington?
Naw, not a chance.
@rjquillin
/giphy dream on
@Winedavid49 Harvest Moon keeps aged Zin around and they also age exceptionally well, but I don’t think that fits the clue. Sounds like 6-Sigma or something like that given the underlying exponential nature of the math. But I can’t see how that fits.
Could be Wilson?
@klezman @Winedavid49 “fits the clue “ hahaha
@msten @Winedavid49 yup, still not getting the clue
@klezman
“Exponentially” ties into D Cubed. But that still wasn’t much to go off of.
@kawichris650 more the W_ was the part that makes no sense
@kawichris650 @klezman
Thought that was just a typo … “i, WD”
@kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark I wondered that too, but it’s so far away from the D! Maybe it was supposed to be a backspace?
@kawichris650 @klezman @MarkDaSpark
Factorial?
@kawichris650 @klezman @MarkDaSpark
I think it was meant to be more of a fill in the blank, W"D"??
@karenhynes
Ahhh… I think you’re right!
@karenhynes @kawichris650 As usual, Karen figures it out!
@kawichris650 @klezman
Haha! Hindsight…
@Winedavid49 Clever
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark i keep waiting for this Bills Chief’s game to end! definitely FORWARD progress!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 the end of that game was just ridiculous. Also why don’t both teams get a chance on offense? Makes no sense to me in the playoffs.
No idea on the clue, though.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Given only a FG score, they do, just like in the regular season iirc.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 it’s similar, but if the first possession scores a touchdown that’s the end of the game. Seems totally unfair to not let the other team have a crack at it.
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
“Forward Religious Militia types”
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 My thought has been (for at least in the playoffs) a team wins in OT when they take possession of the ball while holding the lead.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 That makes a ton of sense. Nearly or completely equivalent to “leader after two possessions”. After the last 5 minutes of regulation how on earth do you not let Josh Allen get a chance to even it up?!
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Not really equivalent. For example, Team A gets the ball first and scores a field goal. Team B then gets the ball and scores a touchdown. In my scenario, Team B would not be the winner until they stop Team A from scoring (a touchdown) again (i.e., take possession while holding the lead). If Team A initially scored a TD, team B would need to answer with a TD in order to continue the game.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Ah, I see the difference. Basically you always get a chance to take the lead. I’m down with that too.
clue?
“the Mountain”
@Winedavid49
McGregor Vineyards from the Finger Lakes?
J Gregory Wines?
@klezman @Winedavid49
The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka?
@klezman @Winedavid49 Or Mount Harvey?
@Winedavid49
A Cab from Mt. Veeder perhaps, such as Kukeri? Godspeed?
@Winedavid49
Mountain Selection Zin & Barbera from Scott Harvey?
@Winedavid49
Why do I think of Kunde? The top of mountain tasting ?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 wow. More literal than usual!
Ah, family name!
good evening. For starters this wine was made by Osvaldo.
@Winedavid49
???
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
“The mastermind behind this wine is no other than winemaker Osvaldo Amado, named on different occasions as the best winemaker in Portugal”…
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Missed that in the writeup!
Edit: because it’s not in the Casemates writeup?
Saw his name, but not in states. Said " presently in Brazil."
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Nevermind. Was thinking this was clue for Friday’s offer. Doh!
No interest in a clue? Strange!
@jmdavidson1 People have been distracted as of late!
@hscottk @jmdavidson1
And perhaps a bit tapped out?
@hscottk @jmdavidson1 @rjquillin apologies. i blame it on the shots in between shots on a spur of the moment Friday golf game. still a bit blurry…
You should blame someone else for this mess.
ok, back in the game.
and all this time i was thinking this was a bloody exploration of artificial intelligence.
@Winedavid49 My computer science background immediately brings Turin to mind.
@Winedavid49
2nd Clue please!
2nd clue?
HBO max
@Winedavid49
Swilly in da house?
@Winedavid49
Raised by Wolves?
@Winedavid49
Needed the 2nd Clue. Never would have gotten there without it.
@MarkDaSpark
Congrats Sparky!
@kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark
I miss the original Raised By Wolves
@Winedavid49
This winery has become a solid contributor. the founder’s ignorance was…
@Winedavid49
Brutocao?
@Winedavid49
Gård(ed)?
King?
@Winedavid49
Ooh, ooh!
Escandalosa! J Dusi ! Please please!
@karenhynes ignorance is Bliss, nicely done!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Great call!
@Winedavid49
Next winery?
Ok, first year woot for sure. Early adopter.
i remember having one of my early, this is gonna be a cool job, aha moments when i tasted this guy’s wines at a lunch at EDK.
Great estate wines. undeniable.
Cool to see his original first offer, repeated here on Casemates.
@Winedavid49
Davis Family?
Ty Caton also seems like a good bet. Maybe a TyTanium offer? Hahaha
@Winedavid49 I thought it was so preposterous, but it was right!
@klezman @Winedavid49
Wow. Never thought we’d see it again. Nice job on the guess and the wine score!
@klezman @Winedavid49 bullseye!
Hmm. Andy Murray?
Murray, Salvestrin, Muscardini, Ty Caton would be estate wines. Other early offers that are not estate would be Rasmussen and Roessler. Nostalgia for wild early days.
Monticello Presidential Red, hows that for pulling one from the archives. I only recall one or maybe two offers.
How about Brian Benson? I think JanKris is estate. These go way back to early WW days.
I got some Kunde early on ww. . .
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark
@karenhynes. Seeing a theme?
Evidently, WD has been busy sending out emails for the TyTanium offer …
@MarkDaSpark
Must be glued to the Olympics!
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark
Kid’s soccer game actually.
Tonight is the first white wine from this label.
It doesn’t fit the category this wine’s name depicts, but it’s pretty darn good white wine deal. IMO
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
My initial thought is “Red Car”…but we’ve seen whites from them in the past. Too late in the game to do any real digging.
@Winedavid49 Pro Bowl excuse?
@MarkDaSpark haha. no. tonight’s wine? a favorite source. turns out a Seattle farmers market has the same name.
@Winedavid49
As @msten put it, probably Ballard Lane … but … WD sometimes has a twist. Queen Anne Famer’s Market could mean (drum roll) …
Anne Amie Vineyards!
Ballard Lane
@msten
Nice call.
Excited to have this winery back. i’ve worked with them since my Airborne Express days… this deal is gonna be a Lulu!
@Winedavid49
It can’t be Bedrock, can it?
@chefjess @Winedavid49 That’s totally the first that comes to mind. And I doubt it’s Tempier!
@Winedavid49
Well, Lulu’s hit song was “To Sir with Love”. Sidney Poitier’s name in the movie was Mark Thackeray. Sean Thackeray is a noted winemaker, BUT, I don’t remember any of his wines on WW. (Loweeel, aka PetiteSirah on the old boards, was a fan of his PS.)
St. Supéry was the first WW offer, and they haven’t been on Casemates.
I’ve been trying to remember if WD said who he worked with back then. All I can think of is that they might have been the first or early offers.
So St. Supéry or ???
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 The hard part is that Airborne Express was waaaay before wine.woot
@klezman @Winedavid49
True, but “worked with them since”. So chances are they were on WW.
Probably Bedrock, as @chefjess said, with their “Ode to Lulu” Rosė of Mourvedre.
How about Lucas and Lewellen? That’s a lulu for sure.
@msten Oh, that’s a solid guess. The Mandolina Toccata Riserva from ages ago was phenomenal.
@klezman
Do you really still have some of the '04?
@rjquillin I wish. Very long gone.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark becoming a goto daily drinker. it’s ain’t cinsault, but it’s tasty for the price.
We’ve seen Onesta Mentida before. BTW, what did we miss with the lulu clue?
@msten Lulu Handley.
@msten Yup, certainly sounds like Mentida
@InFrom Ahh, thanks
@Winedavid49
We’ll my contact there is not Jan, Jan,Jan…
@Winedavid49
Kunde?
@Winedavid49 … it’s Halftime! Where’s the clue?
️
️
️
Go
@Winedavid49
2 minute warning!
@MarkDaSpark congrats Rams fans. i know many. Rams played well.
Clue?
Another effort from trusted source. reminds me of Gwyneth’s foray into country music…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Farmstrong?
@karenhynes
Well done! (As usual.)
tonight?
combines grapes from Luján and the Uco Valley…
@Winedavid49 Ruca Malen?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark
Hey, don’t shoot me!
@Winedavid49
We haven’t seen slingshot for a long time.
Observation, not guess.
Messenger?
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
Why not as a guess?
I’ll use it as a guess then!
Or Archery Summit or Smoking Gun.
Edit (7:30pm PT):
Or St. Huberts The Stag Cabernet Sauvignon (being literal).
@a5meiser Definitely fits the clue, and Art+Farm show up here. The question then becomes, which of The Messenger wines?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Slingshot seems more suited for an extended quantity offer, not some limited Friday sale.
But AS and SG fit that description as well.
Obvious or obscure; good question.
@rjquillin Meanwhile, note that the WD star of approval has already gone to @a5meiser.
@a5meiser @InFrom
F5
@rjquillin What a refreshing comment!
@InFrom
Happy Friday!
last we spoke he was near Borrego Springs, “contributing to the delinquency of miners”
always a hoot, oh and consistently stunning and distinctive wines.
@Winedavid49
Swilly, aka Stillman Brown
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark aka knoll fence. sorry, that’s all i got!
@Winedavid49. You took the new meme to heart?
@Winedavid49
So Zaca Mesa ?
@Winedavid49
Ah, Hillgate …
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Maybe a child’s extracurricular activity?
@danandlisa @Winedavid49
Probably, I think daughter’s soccer game, last of the season.
@danandlisa @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
or the 2018 scared him off…
Ah crap. I thought I had given it! Doh!
Just sitting at home minding my own business…
My bad.
@Winedavid49 … isn’t giving clues part of your business?
@MarkDaSpark why yes. i believe this Italian wine has the same name as some notable Italian markets across the country.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
You got some Eataly wine?
More likely Barbiero, I guess?
@klezman Good one.
@Winedavid49
clue? ok, how about Rosa Water …
@Winedavid49 I don’t even know where to start. There’s a brand of water from Serbia. Some lakes are pink.
@klezman or reverse it!
@Winedavid49 Are we going to Bulgaria instead of Serbia?
Pink Agua Rosé?
Is that stuff any good?
@Winedavid49
Something from the Clare Valley in Australia??
An unusual whit only offer from one of our all timers. Shout out to Ed who’s recovering…
@Winedavid49
Pedroncelli?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Please wish him salute! from all of us. (It’s Italian for qpr!)
@Winedavid49 Friends, SB, and Chard seem to be about the only white offerings from Pedroncelli. Maybe a white only mix? I don’t think we’ve seen one here.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark normally i take the night off with this coveted partner.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Sounds suspiciously like Clark.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Or Scott Harvey! Except I think Scott & Jana are off on a Wine Club members cruise.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 But Clark is the one who (almost) always spills the beans early!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Get on the road and stock up on this recent white favorite. back by popular demand.
@Winedavid49
Ballard Lane?
Onward?
Highway 12?
@Winedavid49
Red Car The Pearl?
Highway 12 for sure
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark tip of the cap to Del Potro. i bet he would like this wine. rhymes with do goodie?
@Winedavid49
Durigutti Argentinian Wine (Cab or other Red)?
@Winedavid49
clue? staying with the tennis theme here. same name as a great 60’s-mid 70’s tennis player. winery located in
Murillo de Río Leza.
@Winedavid49
???
I was into 70s Tennis then. And I still haven’t an idea of whom you are referring!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark you forgot “oblivious “ wine clue
@bunnymasseuse @MarkDaSpark ok, i deserve that after the last clue. tonight? it’s a wallbanger (not vodka).
@bunnymasseuse
That’s when he forgets to post a clue!
@bunnymasseuse @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Scott Harvey?
@bunnymasseuse @chefjess @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Yup, I also came here to guess Scott Harvey.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? @dianefreda @ctmariner
@ctmariner @dianefreda @Winedavid49
So an obvious clue this time!
Another D Cubed Cellars Zinfandel set?
@dianefreda @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Yay - in for a case!
tonight? this wine style is the OPPOSITE of typical.
@Winedavid49
Paraduxx?
Anthesis Wines (D’Argenzio Winery)
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 We have seen Especial in the past.
@Winedavid49 … Triple play time!
@MarkDaSpark
Haggle.
@Winedavid49
Hmm. A haggler is also called a contender.
Reynvaan Family Vineyards ‘The Contender’ Syrah?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 WD always talks about how good a haggler Suzie at Noceto is…perhaps it’s time?
@Winedavid49
I keep thinking a négociant is like a negociator
de Négoce Red offer?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Oooooohhhhh. Good thinking!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Good call
@klezman @MarkDaSpark with that logic, Joy from Iron Horse would have been a good guess… tough cookie.
@klezman @Winedavid49. Very true on Iron Horse.
So, Hat Trick (or Triple Play) completed.
Grand Slam next hopefully!
Clue?
… industrials
@Winedavid49
Dow Port!?
@Winedavid49
Acacia Vineyard - Treasury Wine Estates?
@Winedavid49
Steele Wines?
@Winedavid49 You get some of the Rock Wall Wine Co closeouts?
@MarkDaSpark
speaking of TWE, interesting sale that went live today. Various GdL, some BV clone 4 & 6, others
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin metal bender?
@Winedavid49
So, super obscure to prevent the Grand Slam, eh?
@MarkDaSpark i thought it was a pretty good clue.
@Winedavid49 nice clue
@msten @Winedavid49 Ron got it right off the bat, phonetically at least.
@InFrom @msten @Winedavid49
and didn’t even realize it.
@InFrom @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49 well finally I get it!
@InFrom @klezman @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Ah, a layered obvious obscure clue!
So WD is like Shrek … layers
@Winedavid49
Here’s hoping for a pot 'o gold at the end!
Happy St Peter’s day! wow!!
clue?
i don’t even know if Peter W was involved with this vintage, but the standard was set!
@Winedavid49 (aka Onion Boy.
)
Denier-Handel
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
That’s my guess, too.
@Winedavid49 The rest of my bracket may go up in smoke, but at least I can brag I picked this one right!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 D-H makes the most sense, but could also be David Noyes.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49. 2 hour warning
Luca Maroni gave this 94 Points. i may give a second clue later. but it is March Madness.
@Winedavid49
Grande Cuvée “Kermesse” 2015?
@Winedavid49
2018 or 2019 Dugal Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot?
@Winedavid49
Amarone Vivaldi Premium?
2019 Achille IGT Toscana Rosso?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Only 94 points? Probably a pass.
@Winedavid49 We might need that 2nd clue!
I even went to the One Vine website, but all the Italian wines currently there were all 98 points by Luca Maroni.
@Mark_L
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Brava
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Ha Luca rating under 98 points? Say it ain’t so.
@Winedavid49
sorry. planes trains and automobobiles today…
clue? Ben Foster and woodie.
@Winedavid49
The Messenger … Cab or Sauvignon Blanc?
@Winedavid49
Or their Syrah or Chardonnay. Or a mix? All 2018s.
Appears 2018 Sauvignon Blanc & 2018 Red Blend are sold out.
The Messenger cs
@msten. Late by 2 minutes!
@MarkDaSpark
@msten
Clue?
not just education for musicians apparently.
@Winedavid49 The name Composition comes up in a number of places.
@Winedavid49 T. Berkley wines? Everything sold out on the website, but worth a shot.
@Winedavid49
Jarvis Estate wines
Jarvis Conservatory
@hscottk @Winedavid49
Unless WD is going Texas?
Berklee Hill Vineyards
@Winedavid49 etude?
@Winedavid49
So not current clue?
@Winedavid49
We can haz clue?
@MarkDaSpark Maybe tonight it’s the Etude we thought it was last time?
@klezman
That’s what I asked yesterday! But not saying tonight’s one, just a future one.
So maybe tonight’s clue like you said!
tonight clue?
Patty Duke turn.
@Winedavid49 Keller Estates?
@Winedavid49 Unless there’s an Identical Cousins winery.
This fan favorite owner is definitely NOT a stooge.
@Winedavid49
Tercero?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 and since he just announced a flash sale on his pink wine maybe it’s something else…
always great to have Larry from Tercero on the boards.
Tonight’s clue? Where’s the rush?
@Winedavid49 I certainly hope it’s NOT Sutter('s Mill) Home!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark this vocation/profession is as old as domesticated fire. and yet when i use a thesaurus the best it comes up with is “skinner”.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Slaughterhouse Cellars?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
NSFW
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Tanner Vineyards?
@Winedavid49
The Arsonist?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Y Rousseau Son of a Butcher?
Tanner Vineyards?
@hscottk nope. not a winery name, but a label.
@hscottk @Winedavid49
Darn, then not Carver Sutro PS.
@hscottk @Winedavid49
The Butcher from Shelter Vineyards?
Butcher’s Cut from Argentina?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark looks like the have a tasting room in Ellensburg now (and woodenville and…)
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Gard?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 gard?
@a5meiser @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 You’re both wrong! It’s Gård!
@a5meiser @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
Hopefully, we won’t get April Fooled!
@MarkDaSpark @snapster
So, i don’t know if you’ve been reading Founder @snapster recent blog over on Meh.com. Fascinating stuff.
So, some news, Casemates is going to fall under this new department run by Snapster himself. Among the overall changes is the name InLo (aka inverse logistics). Come to find out every site that falls under this new division will have the parent name InLO in the title.
To play off that theme, Matt (fearless leader) has come up with the name “WineLo” as a new approach. So, once we have the programming bandwidth, we’ll be making a new skin and everything. WineLo lives! more to come!!
@snapster
Clue? another western novel? oh wait, it’s a great deal on French wine!
@MarkDaSpark @snapster @Winedavid49
That thread has quite some history embedded.
Been great reading…
@snapster @Winedavid49
Louis Latour offer (Louis Lamour)
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin clearly a poor attempt at April Fools!
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
It did stump me for a while!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? Edna is right in the middle of trying.
Pulchella Awakening ?
@Winedavid49
Ooh, ooh EFFORT Edna Valley
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 If you said Center of Effort you would probably nail it.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Effort is from Center of Effort winery.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I guess I’m a perfectionist (blame it on my engineering mindset).
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Perfectionist wins!
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark if you were into numbers, this would be Jim Brown’s farm.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Ranch 32?
@MarkDaSpark That looks like Arnold Palmer in the background of the giphy.
@davirom @MarkDaSpark Ted Knight?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
…or maybe 32 Winds?
@davirom
Only if he was there in Caddyshack!
@karenhynes @Mark_L @Winedavid49
Or Cru 32 (Surh Cellars) if WD found more.
While JB wore #44 at Syracuse, I don’t think WD is getting Wisconson wineries (Parallel 44)!
So it’s probably Ranch 32, as the other Mark posted.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Maybe I’ll hit Parallel 44/Door 44 this summer. Skipped it last year.
@jmdavidson1 @MarkDaSpark Behind Ted’s right shoulder
@davirom @jmdavidson1
Pretty sure it’s a lookalike.

A celebration of Audrey’s birthday.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Iron Horse?
@chefjess @Winedavid49
Has to be!
2019 Audrey Chardonnay or 2018 Spring Rosè
@chefjess @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
predicting a plastic melting offer.
Hey, WD, that balsamic over there from you?
@chefjess @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin yep.
@chefjess @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
thread hijack alert
When are we getting this?
I’m out!
@chefjess @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin couldn’t get the Olio this year…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
You are one pricy ***fellow this evening
@Winedavid49
Something not as pricy?
@Winedavid49
@Winddavid49, you know, maybe you should drum up some business/awareness for casemates by selling some promotional wine deal on meh. Like maybe some rosé? Maybe that begins with P?
@wardad i know right? getting harder to pull that off about now. but stay tuned.
clue? known for single vineyard Rhone varieties.
Andrew Murray was last seen 11 months ago
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
I think @Winedavid49 meant to post this instead of whispering it.
@Winedavid49
Two Jakes of Diamonds?
Or Stillman Brown (pocket kings aka “Elvis Presley”) ?
Edit: Wordle = jakes or elvis
@MarkDaSpark oops… yes.
@Winedavid49
Oh, and congrats!
BTW, aren’t you a bit old to still be in HS?
/giphy oldest-graduate
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I was pretty sure WD graduated around the same year I graduated…
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
I couldn’t resist … everyone knows WD is a proud papa of both offspring!
P.S.: Last one we need to put through college! Yay!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
WD has much to be proud of!
good evening. early clue since i’m heading to a company function.
one of my family’s favorite obscure brittish sitcom’s (and a current sci fi show).
@Winedavid49
So, an obvious clue then!
Raised by Wolves!
Cinsaut Cabernet Sauvignon or a new one
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I didn’t think they were still operating.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Oh ok…. Different wolves!
@hscottk @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I was secretly hoping there was a wine called “Are You Being Served?”
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue?
Counting Crow’s favorite color.
and a southern debutante’.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Any chance it’s Bluebell British bubbly?
Graybehl the Grenachista
@msten That makes a lot more sense than my guess…but it would be great to get some British bubbly!
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark That new TZ has you too eager.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @pedroncelli
Sorry, escaped dog chase took me away (2.5m run).
tonight? Shout out to my boy EstJ. i hope he can chime in this weekend. i mean the man is unstoppable!
No clue tonight?
@winedavid49
@jmdavidson1 Need to tag @WineDavid49!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark this label has an old fashioned one of these on the label. the label name is a description of the action of the item. can drink good wine with out them.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 jelly jar!!
@MarkDaSpark correction: CAN’T drink good wine with out them.
@CorTot @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 horse and plow?
Root and vine?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Roarke Wine Co?
@Winedavid49 fog & light?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Oh, don’t let Larry see this clue. You’ll never hear the end of it!
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? proprietor is same name as Ferris’ best friend.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Cameron Hughes fits.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
True. But could WD pull a fast one with another offer from Broken Eart (Chris Cameron)?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Not sure if he’s ever gone back-to-back before…
@Winedavid49
Clue?
a Winona turn, plural.
@Winedavid49 Ryder Estates?
@klezman good guess. but no.
@Winedavid49
Heather Creek Ranch?
@klezman @Winedavid49 @karenhynes
Judd’s Hill? I like Karen’s guess better
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Didn’t think mine fit that well, but Karen seems straight on target as usual.
clue?
it’s that time again (to celebrate). stock up!
@Winedavid49
Gruet?
@chefjess @Winedavid49 Sounds more likely than Iron Horse…
@chefjess @klezman @Winedavid49
Would be much kinder to the plastic as well…
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
My first thought was IH since their website literally asks, ‘how will you celebrate’, but @winedavid49 mentioned they have not been very forthcoming with their bubbly so deferred to Gruet. Was Gratitude the last bubbly offer we saw from IH? That was a nice offer.
@chefjess @klezman @Winedavid49

and I found this
so it was the old site.
Given the comment by @chipgreen over in the pub, I wonder if he was chosen to rat an IH?
@davirom My thought was that he and the missus are planning a trip out West.
@InFrom @chipgreen If so, they should also plan on coming to a Concert on the Green (see what I did there?)
@chipgreen @davirom @InFrom hell yes they should! You should really meet the little ones, chip!
@davirom @InFrom @klezman
Would love to meet the kiddos! Unfortunately, no current plans to head West anytime soon. One of our friends is going to Sonoma and has bought his fair share of Iron Horse from both WW and CM.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? Brando’s most popular outcry.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I coulda been a contender? More likely, “STELLA!”
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 A few wineries use the name The Godfather, and there is also Vino Godfather. WRT Stella, hopefully WD isn’t trying to compete with Walmart!
@InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Going out on a limb and turning Stella into Stellenbosch??
@InFrom @karenhynes @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
five minutes…
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark stand by.
This wine region could be confused with a Texas competition. ( sorry, it’s late)
@Winedavid49
Chile?
@Winedavid49
So…maybe Altue or Caliterra?
Wine Tasting and phone acting up delayed whine for clue.
Still … @Winedavid49?
Six suns redux
@Winedavid49
Seis Soles?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 I’m warming up my Cien Dolares! That Rose was delish! Lots of tartrate crystals, which in no way hurt the wine.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 OK, I’ll admit it, I don’t get it.
@InFrom @Winedavid49 Ditto!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Right clue, wrong night?
@InFrom @karenhynes @Winedavid49
I could see 10 suns, but only 6?
Unless he used tomorrow’s clue?
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Can I reserve my guess for tomorrow?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I’ll keep that 100 bucks on hand as well.
@Winedavid49
Do we need a new Clue or was last night’s clue for tonight?
ok, so yea that was a total gaffe on my part. can you tell we had a company gathering the last couple of nights…?? ugh.
Must be a bad sign…!! (yes that’s a clue)
@Winedavid49
Omen?
@Winedavid49
St. Mayhem canned wine?
Or Writer’s Block?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Your guess is better!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
good evening.
clue?
Utopian Rim.
@Winedavid49
Cougar Crest. Oh wait, a general Utopia … Columbia Crest?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? Relic spot.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Sounds like Fossil Point.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
This recent go to winery soured this from a vineyard OU Sam would undoubtedly enjoy.
@Winedavid49
Using some convoluted “logic”, my first guess is Peterson.
@Winedavid49 Winter’s Hill? Who else is “certified sustainable”?
But I also like the Noble Riesling guess…
Neither are really go-to wineries, though.
@Winedavid49
Pacific Rim Noble wine
@Winedavid49
Aargh … been having issues loading Casemate pages. I refreshed, and it didn’t appear any guess yet. But it must not have refreshed correctly, since the only post I saw was WD’s.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
'splain please
OU Sam brought up Sam Noble Museum. Note: Not one word of who “Sam Noble” was on their site. Anywhere. Even about us fails to mention him (Oilman, grad of OU. Foundation donated money for new museum. Info found elsewhere!).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Sam Bradford, OU Quarterback, Heisman Trophy Winner, 2008.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Nevermind. Excluding Noble popped Sam Bradford (OU QB and Heisman winner, NFL QB for Rams etc.) up.
Noble is the clue. We’ve had a Pacific Rim Noble Riesling.
This winery’s cab has a lunar influence.
@Winedavid59
Humm, valley of the moon, sonoma, Ty?
Happy Day to those Mother’s out there.
clue? Farm rental.
@Winedavid49 Sharecroppers?
@Winedavid49
Ah, crofter …
@Winedavid49 … overslept your alarm?
@MarkDaSpark clue??
Buffalo Hump
@Winedavid49
Bison Ridge?
@Winedavid49
Or somehow from Meeker? (Last time Buffaloes was mentioned, IIRC).
@Winedavid49
Ah, the obvious clue! Forgot to just search on Comanche!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark pardon the delay. snuck out and played golf (rare) and my buddy wanted to play an “emergency 3” holes after 18. betting had nothing to do with it…
.
clue? this import is from a “historic house in Veneto”.
Ok, earlier tonight, not so late asking, like last night!
@Winedavid49
Happy Friday!
Clue? Oriental is one of them.
@Winedavid49 Something from Colli Orientali? (sp?)
@klezman @Winedavid49
Two Italians in a row?
@klezman @ScottW58 @Winedavid49
Or it’s an offer from wineries in Maule Valley, Chile.
Oriental is a winery there.
@MarkDaSpark @ScottW58 @Winedavid49 Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve had wines from the same place twice in a row.
Happy Sunday,
well i put up a tent here at one point, may do it again.
lo entiendes?
@Winedavid49
Washington Cab Trio? Huntsman, The Guide, & Canoe Ridge?
Still trying to equate Oriental with Rioja …
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Would really like to better understand this connection.
@rjquillin He put up a tent in his backyard? A su casa, as it were?
@InFrom @rjquillin Yes…yes he did on previous RPM Tours. Sneaky reference, since I’d have thought of it as him putting up a tent at Keller…
howdy, going to go see Neilfindswine at farmer’s market. he is visiting.
clue? i bet the rumored inter Miami future player would like this type of wine.
@Winedavid49
Sounds like Argentina to me. Maybe a Cab or Malbec…perhaps from Bodega Valentin Bianchi?
clue? The wine is coming from a region that reminds me of F-1.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49 Is this another running of Cantoro or another wine from Emilia-Romagna?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Or a Sparkling Wine Region (Winners drink from winner’s cup)?
Champagne or Catalonia (Cava)?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Or a Crémant de Limoux?
Perhaps another Aimery Crémant de Limoux Brut Sparkling?
Second clue? Norris
@Winedavid49
McLaren Vale?
@Winedavid49 Lando Wines RRV Pinot? Might have to break out the black tie.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark TGIF ! another part of the world tonight. Reminds me of the guy in the red and white striped shirt but with one slot different in the alphabet. Where’s?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Valdo sparkling?
@hscottk @Winedavid49
Probably … Valdo Ca’ Del Cino Prosecco
Doubt it will be the new brand Saldo (Red Blend, Zin, & a Chenin Blanc) from The Prisoner.
Golfer Nick Faldo has a winery association but it definitely would be in the black tie price range.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
Sorry, late afternoon soccer. Funny label tonight. “Aspire to do great things” OK, Mr Brown?
@Winedavid49
Stillman Brown with a Zeppelin Winery offer?

@MarkDaSpark sorry, tennis went to a third set and the loser had to buy me a beer…
clue?
62% Domenico and 38% Acquarello Estate Vineyards
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Le Vigne Winery?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue?
i say, i say this pairs well with Chicken Hawk!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Leghorn?
Or Foghorn.
@msten
Leghorn Sauvignon Blanc has been up before.
happy friday. this is a solid fairly new partner. they may even have been on siete times before or…
@Winedavid49
Toughie!
Amavi Cellars? (Seven Hills)
Vincent Arroyo? (Seven Varietals)
@Winedavid49
District 7?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I think you’re right with District 7…
“Siete or” even Seis (Soles, that is).
@Winedavid49
Family Loosely translates to “the mountain”.
@Winedavid49
LaMontagne?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Probably. But …
De La Montanya Winery is in Healdsburg
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? how about Nadal today! heck i bet this “Rushmore” favorite would rather see him win the Italian!
@Winedavid49 Dang, WD, I’m just in the middle of watching the match. I managed to avoid notifications all day, only to be undone on my favorite wine site!
But yes, he sure looked impressive in the first set.
@InFrom um, I was commenting on the first set!
@Winedavid49
Pedroncelli?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark
If WD doesn’t chime in, @klezman could possibly come up with a clue.
@kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark I’m really bad at this.
This repeat winery only has part of their house on their kind of street.
@kawichris650 @klezman @MarkDaSpark thanks Klezman! not bad. apologies. blaming it on the warriors (wow, boston) and the monday holiday messing me up!
@kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 No more spoilers, WD!
Clue?
This large winery company’s name reminds me of the weather of it’s home location.
@Winedavid49
I’d say Windrun or Fog & Light, but I don’t think they’re “large winery” types.
Fog & Wind ?
@Winedavid49 I don’t even know where to start…hot? Foggy? Windy?
32 Winds?
Rainy (kinda).
it’s not my best clue
@Winedavid49 Arbor Mist?
@klezman @Winedavid49
How do you discount that? Must be FREE!!!
@karenhynes @klezman @Winedavid49 You would have to pay me…!
@klezman @Mark_L @Winedavid49
I don’t believe I have ever knowingly partaken…
@Winedavid49
OK…how about Torrent Wines or Torrent Bay??
@Winedavid49
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh! Maybe RAEN?
Pretty unlikely, but kinda fits…
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Still trying to figure out the “best” emphasis.
@karenhynes @Mark_L
It’s all about “ perception”
@karenhynes @Mark_L @Winedavid49 so which brand from precept is rainy?
@karenhynes @klezman @Mark_L Seattle, precipitation.
Sorry…
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? Not just potato’s!
@Winedavid49
Burbank Ranch Vineyard & Winery?
(Templeton in Paso)
Idaho Potatoes are also called Russet or Burbank)
@Winedavid49
Well, there was a group called “The Famous Potatoes” with 2 Baxters …
Baxter Winery (Anderson Valley)?
Oh … the state.
Of course, I haven’t been able to think the same way about Idaho after I saw this …
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue?
it’s not "Recioto ".
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Amarone???
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? normally a goto import source. this one a nice domestic offer.
@Winedavid49
One Vine Wines?
Dom. Cazes Muscat de Rivesaltes?
Piedra Creek offer?
@Winedavid49
Not their “Rosé All Day” in cans! shudder
@Winedavid49
Art+Farm (The Messenger or Circadia) ???
(Began importing wine first.)
Good evening. clue?
no, it’s not Beck and Call.
@Winedavid49
Oh good, it’s not a defunct 4 episode TV Series about 2 female agents whose biggest client is a Pug.
Or is it about the robot and partner in Mighty No. 9? (Video game)
@Winedavid49
“Not” so it wouldn’t be Urgency. Antithesis?
@Winedavid49
Hmmmm, Gård (because you’d couldn’t leave your post)?
Or Au Contraire?
Or Etude (for Attitude)???
@Winedavid49
Ah, the “obvious” one! Not Beck, but Beckon …
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Good evening.
clue?
well, it is Nascar in Sonoma. The weekend tends bring out the “country” in wine country.

I’ll throw out a first guess…Gilbert Cellars (Brantley Gilbert is/was performing today).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Oy, I remember once I accidentally came up to Sonoma that weekend. I got stuck on Highway 37 going across the top of the Bay. For like 45 minutes. I’d never been so happy to make it to the Viansa tasting room!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Well, Gruet Sparkling? (Founder Gilbert Gruet)
Or … Chris Lane performed on Saturday.
Baker Lane?
Bergevin Lane?
Ballard Lane?
Good evening.
locale, Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo,
@Winedavid49
Time for some Malbec?
@Winedavid49
Clue please …
@MarkDaSpark @winedavid49
Difficult week, need something really good!
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin i’ll sure as heck try!
Jim Nanze has been a good one, but really does anyone top Peter coyote??
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Cross Creek?
Guess 1. The Calling
Guess 2. J Dusi- The Narrator
@joe139
They’ve both had gigs as narrators…
There’s also Aerena Wines, The Unreliable Narrator (haven’t seen Aerena here for quite a while).
@joe139 @karenhynes
Got to be the Narrator by Dusi!
