Dang it! Went down the rabbit hole with the NHL player (Ryan), getting Caterina, thus Poundstone Wines from their use of Sangiocomo’s Catarina Vineyard.
I did some research and most breweries that would want to do this are self distributors. Self distribution laws vary by each state – but breweries are restricted to selling beers to permit holders (restaurants, Liquor stores). I think the idea of casemates is to pass off logistics to the winery, and it doesn’t seem feasible to have breweries do this.
@rjquillin It was a stretch to make the connection to the lack of a clue being the clue. It was the best I could do to order the chaos. About 8 years ago I got a clue of “invisible” through WD being a James Stewart fan to Harvey. But being new to the game didn’t get to Scott Harvey. Now that was a stretch.
The proximity to the Atacama, makes rain in this region extremely rare, extending the grape growing season by 6 weeks more than other regions of South America.
With its own unique microclimate caused by its proximity to the
Atacama Desert and the Pacific has led to three of Chile’s largest
wineries; Concha y Toro, San Pedro and Santa Rita to produce wines
here.
@MarkDaSpark Friday clues are the hardest. but here goes. sound like a french villa where the star of “what’s up Doc” (it holds up if you watch it again, very funny).
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 Swilly didn’t have to say anything. His wines are almost always high alcohol and he talks about them in proof sometimes. When you say Zeppelin, I think high alc. So to me that was the clue, fwiw.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49 maybe it’s one of the other Mondavi kids that owns one of the big brands we see here a lot. Can’t remember the name at the moment.
With a legacy that developed Opus One into a world-renowned icon, winemaker Daniel Manies has ventured out on his own to develop his own signature label of elegant wines.
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song, ‘Love me do,’ I think it was. From there it didn’t take him long. Got himself a guitar, used to play every night, Now he’s in a rock ‘n’ roll outfit,
@klezman@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49
Only one problem, I can think of…
Gamma rays are the real deal. I used to build instruments and detectors for them that are still in orbit.
Happy New Year!!!
@Winedavid49
Happy New Year!
47 on his 38th! Witness!
@Winedavid49 King Estates
@msten @Winedavid49
Fat Ass Ranch & Winery?


He’s no Michael Jordan. Talent, yes. Class? Nope.
If you look closely, there is an arrow in the logo
@Winedavid49
Well, there’s …
Nocking Point Wines
The Huntsman Cabernet Sauvignon
Punta de Flechas Corte Argentinian Blend
@Winedavid49
There’s also Arrow Creek Wines and Arrow & Branch (although they are a premium winery).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Does FedEx have a winery now??
@Winedavid49 We haven’t seen NxNw in a while, and they do have an arrow integrated into their logo…
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark howdy howdy.
clue?
Cassius and Sharpe
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Clay Shannon?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
But which one? Pistol Grip, Buck Shack, or Urgency?
Or another label from Shannon Ridge (Clay and Angie Shannon are owners).
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
WD says Howdy, howdy
So more
Pistol Grip (western theme label)?
Happy Friday.
Clue? Harvey’s S.O.
@Winedavid49 A Jana offering?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
but which one, or assortment?
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 The only one offered here was a 2019 Sauvignon Blanc.
@Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49 But the old site had Cathedral and the Riesling, too. Even the Zin once, iirc.
@Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Correction: The Scott Harvey Mixed Zins offer here had a “2011 or 2012 Jana” Zin in it.
Mixed Zins offer
@Winedavid49
Clue?
skateboard slang for excited.
@Winedavid49
A return of Stokes’ Ghost Petite Sirah ?
I see there’s a The Stoke wines out of Australia…
@Winedavid49
joakim’s parent.
@Winedavid49 Y. Rousseau?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Dang it! Went down the rabbit hole with the NHL player (Ryan), getting Caterina, thus Poundstone Wines from their use of Sangiocomo’s Catarina Vineyard.
Then saw Noah, BB Center and Dad, Yannick!
@Winedavid49
clue?
i bet Di Maria would like another offer from our “goto” winery.
@Winedavid49
Durigutti?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 The “goto” comment connects with some Peterson offerings.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or perhaps Scott Harvey Angel Eis?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Thought of those, along with Pedroncelli, but Di Maria is an Argentinian Futbol player.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark happy friday. clue? Wellington connection.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Denier-Handal?
@ctmariner @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Could be something from David Noyes, but D-H more likely.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue?
This wine is great by any measurement, k?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 nice clue.
good evening.
i’m grateful to have this winery back again. as good an expression of single vineyard wines (not just Lodi) around.
@Winedavid49 Onesta?
@Winedavid49
Boedecker Cellars or Peterson Winery?
Or Kukeri?
@Winedavid49
Clue? opposite of "Noya " Wayne?
@Winedavid49
Wait, it wasn’t “Yesya”???



@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark happy friday! Clue? apparently Fred and Zero Manipulation go hand in hand.
Yay!! Peterson?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Might need to wait for the SF game to end.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark good point.
two previous offers combined for another great value deal offer. (zin and cab)
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Seems to be a lot of possibilities, but Kunde would work.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Pedroncelli?
Scott Harvey?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Scott Harvey Cab???
@Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49
SH Zin & Jana Cab. But not to be …
Ivory and Burt
@msten
Good call!
Harvest Moon
@Savagesam that might actually get me to bite. The week before Berserker Day, no less.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good evening. Clue?
Spittin’ Image
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 About all I can come up with is Stolen Identity or Replica.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
There’s a Wirra Wirra Dead Ringer…and a Brave New Wine Doppleganger.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Good call!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? well this is a change of pace. will probably get there in time for Super Bowl Sunday a.m. tailgate!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 beer?!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 beer would have been better
@klezman @Winedavid49
Silly Canadian!
Cider, Mead, or Mimosa (maybe Sake?)
Hmmm, didn’t we get Beer Kits on the old site?
Happy Friday. clue? it’s not just for ports, that’s the message!
@Winedavid49
St. Amant Winery Speakeasy Red Blend?
@Winedavid49
Well, Dorina Lindemann Touriga Nacional (or her Tinta Barroca) or Vidigal Vinho Tinto?
Or
Opta Tinto?
Lindemann & Vidigal have both been here before. Opta is also from the Elixir Group like the other 2.
@Winedavid49
“the message” … I see what you did there!

@Winedavid49 nicely done
A tinta cao bottling? Hmmm. Could be interesting. A few seen on rws.
good evening.
clue?
3 vowels 4 letters. great wine.
@Winedavid49
Daou?
@Winedavid49
Avivo?
A, i, o
A, v, i, o
@Winedavid49 ioTA?
@Winedavid49
Pareto’s
a, e, o
p, r, t, s
If you separate them …
But most likely Daou
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Humm…
@karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Not like they haven’t been here before.
Buenos dais,
this region shares its name with the river flowing through its center.
@Winedavid49 perhaps a Malbec from Mendoza?
@msten @Winedavid49
Hmmm, Mendoza river only irrigates around “… 17 percent of the Mendoza vineyards, and about 360 wineries.” …

Loire?
Rhóne? (Maybe Domaine La Loyane?)
Douro?
Mosel?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
Are any of those Spanish speaking?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49 I’m not sure the clue is in Spanish either. Buenos dais?
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin oops
@InFrom @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49 looks like Douro I guess…
@InFrom @karenhynes @klezman @msten @rjquillin @Winedavid49
I forgot to check between the Maipo and Colchagua valleys!


@winedavid49
Seems like there is some slacking in asking for a clue…
@rjquillin Thanks for the nudge.
New Beginnings loosely translated
@Winedavid49
Just crickets;
strange
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 I was at a work dinner but if I hadn’t been it’s conceivable I’d have guessed De Novo!
@rjquillin oops …


Yesterday was a weird day. Grubhub delivered dinner on time, but the App showed the driver elsewhere for 30 minutes!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark another croaker of an offer from this new (relatively) casemates favorite.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Frog’s Leap. If the Petite Syrah is offered, my moratorium will be lifted.
@danandlisa @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 It seems like Frog’s Tooth is what has been here.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 You are correct. It has been a long week.
good evening. Clue? Viansa use to be the first winery on 121.
@Winedavid49
Ram’s Gate Winery?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Either that or Roche Carneros.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Roche would be a great offer… Just saying…
@winedavid49
only 90 some odd minutes left, and counting down, for you to submit a clue for the Rats to review…
@rjquillin crap, my mind told
Me on several occasions today that I offered up a clue and damn I spaced on it! My bad!
Winedavid “59” may have to start delegating if this keeps up!
Apologies
@Winedavid49 at least we ~have~ rats on this one!
Maybe rjquillin asking for a clue was the clue. After all he is an “insider “
@msten
unpaid Volunteer Moderator, yup;
insider, like I know what’s going on and coming up, nope, not at all.
@rjquillin It was a stretch to make the connection to the lack of a clue being the clue. It was the best I could do to order the chaos. About 8 years ago I got a clue of “invisible” through WD being a James Stewart fan to Harvey. But being new to the game didn’t get to Scott Harvey. Now that was a stretch.
@msten @rjquillin haha, i remember that!
not messing around today.
clue?
I’m hear to tell the tale, this is not made in Kentucky.
One of those Bourbon Barrel offers I don’t totally recall?
@rjquillin 1,000 Stories (or Buck Shack)
Perhaps Barrel Burner Cabernet Sauvignon
@Winedavid49 … What? No early clue?
good evening. i know i need to give a clue, if just to subdue or quiet the masses.
@Winedavid49
I guess I need to start setting a 2nd timer to remind me to check back!
Hmmm, Wonder how long a delay for a clue if @Winedavid49 is watching the "Super"bowl?
@MarkDaSpark haha! quick clue (before i go back to the game). “proximity to the Atacama”. i’ll give another clue if needed.
@Winedavid49
Elqui Wines
@Winedavid49
Looks like Tabali Wines are on the north of the Atacama.
So either one from Elixir Group (Elqui) or one from One Vine Wine Group.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 A search showed information about Limari Valley that said:
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
But most wines from outside the US here have been through Elixir or One Vine.
Happy Valentines day!
seems appropriate to have this goto OR value white come around again.
@Winedavid49 Maybe another Anne Amie offering?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49 or King’s Estate
@danandlisa @Mark_L @Winedavid49
Or Pedroncelli Friends?
Although it might be Scott & Jana’s One Last Kiss, if it had been here before.
@danandlisa @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
methinks something from OR, not CA
@danandlisa @Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Good point on that! Forget how tricky WD can be.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Friday clues are the hardest. but here goes. sound like a french villa where the star of “what’s up Doc” (it holds up if you watch it again, very funny).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 O’Neill Vintners?
@Winedavid49
Sound like?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Yes and some more of the Anne Amie, please!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Chateau bugs?
Maison Barbera ? Or maison Hannah?
I doubt any of those are actually wineries!
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 There is a Bannister Wines, but I don’t see any french villa connection.
@klezman Maison Barbra, maybe, but you’re
barking up the wrong tree with the cartoon ideas.
My guess: Babs Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir.
Although there’s no French villa in that, so nvm.
@InFrom @Mark_L @klezman
I thought Chateau, but forgot Maison. And I searched using both stars, and their character names.
But Château Saint Barbe didn’t pop up. At least InFrom had Maison Barbra!
Edit: I thought Bugs too at first, but realized WD was talking about the movie.
I did see a Shaqteau O’Neal reference!
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L
Interesting:
Château Barbanau shows up (really down the list) if you use
Château Sainte Barbe shows up if you add “France” to it, 2nd result.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? founding fathers Jefferson and Patrick.
Thomas Henry? The Cab was offered before
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
Table Tennis that interesting?

always feel lucky to snag a dose of these small lot gems.
not for sissies. pairs with Wolf steak that say.
@Winedavid49
Villa Wolf?
@Winedavid49
Duh! Raised by Wolves
@Winedavid49
Also Grey Wolf Cellars, Wolf Family Vineyards, and Lost Wolf Wine Company.
Still trying to see if “dose” fits in somewhere.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
bubbles?
But that doesn’t fit with the PS
@Winedavid49
Small Lot? Da!
The rest of the clue ???

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Not for sissies -> high alcohol! That’s Swilly’s calling card!
@klezman @Winedavid49
Is it?

Can’t find him saying it.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark am i the only one who remembers him saying his wines pairs with wolf steak?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Swilly didn’t have to say anything. His wines are almost always high alcohol and he talks about them in proof sometimes. When you say Zeppelin, I think high alc. So to me that was the clue, fwiw.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? this wine is not what it says it is on the label. but still, it’s a darn good value for the price.
hi everyone. Clue?
this wine comes from a hill top town with a clock tower.
@Winedavid49
A wine from Montalcino, Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, Italy?
Or other Tuscany wine?
Lazzeretti Rosso di Montalcino DOC ?
@Winedavid49
Or other Lazzeretti wine?
Or Scopone Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva DOCG?
Or a repeat of Col D’Orcia Brunello di Montalcino?
@Winedavid49 Bueller? Bueller?
@MarkDaSpark those are all close, but not the actual area mentioned.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark sorry, just came back from the snow on the foothills!!!
Clue?
This “bunch” is giving us another set of alternative to wine offerings.
@Winedavid49
Stoke’s Ghost ?
Lost Eden?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Perhaps a mead offering?
@Winedavid49
clue? Peter is the son. So glad to have them back!
@Winedavid49 Kukeri?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Or diabolically … Peterson Winery


There’s also Jim Barry Wines
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Thinking about this more, isn’t it maybe Peter Mondavi?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Maybe
@Winedavid49
Why do I keep wondering if Yannick’s dad was a Peter (or a Pierre) ?
Y. Rousseau’s Son of a Butcher?
@klezman @Winedavid49
On second thought, highly doubtful. I don’t think Mondavi has been on here for WD to be “glad to have them back”.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
There were a few Mondavi offers on the old site.
@klezman @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 maybe it’s one of the other Mondavi kids that owns one of the big brands we see here a lot. Can’t remember the name at the moment.
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Peter is Tom’s son
Good clue!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? this winery has really found its slot. Hitting its stride.
@Winedavid49
Comanche Cellars (named for horse)?
Malacara Wines (Argentinian, also named for a Horse)?
Iron Horse?
Red Mare Wines?
@Winedavid49
Ok, I can see “slot” can apply to music. But … “Hitting it’s stride”???
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 To me, “getting in the groove” conveys the same general idea as finding one’s slot or hitting one’s stride.
@InFrom @Winedavid49
Maybe, but stride indicates some type of running/walking. Thus the horse thought.
In the groove also applies to other activities as well.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 You forgot about stride piano… Not that it has anything to do with the clue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stride_(music)#
@InFrom @Winedavid49
But that would be Piano Abuse! (Hitting it
)
And more obscure than usual!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good evening. clue? old opus one.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I have no idea where to go with that
@klezman @MarkDaSpark winemaker
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 now it’s Tim Mondavi? Doubt we getting continuum here…
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
That was my first thought (on the second clue)…also doubtful, even for a Friday offer.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Manies isn’t mentioned on their website! No fair!
@karenhynes @klezman @Winedavid49
@karenhynes @klezman @Winedavid49
Even searching using Cellarmaster, Assistant Winemaker, or Wine Making Team doesn’t show him.
Only his website says it!

Well, and Wine Searcher for his wines!
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or, the write up from the previous offer here on CM:
@davirom @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I dunno - cellar master != Winemaker
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Wasn’t George Santos the cellarmaster there?
Fair enough…
on to next clue (please!)?
Dry Stream is the region.
@Winedavid49 OK, Arroyo Seco. After that – I’ve got nothing.
@InFrom @Winedavid49 agreed on Arroyo Seco. Probably Schied then.
@Winedavid49
Scotto Cellars (V-14)
or
Scott Family Estate (leaning towards them the most)
or
Bernardus Winery
(And could be Scheid as @klezman wrote)
)
(But spelled correctly
@klezman @Winedavid49
Well, if I had checked on Friday instead of playing poker … I would have been right!
Instead, somehow missed it was for Friday’s offer!


@Winedavid49
It is a Sunday evening…
@rjquillin @markdaspark
“Love me do” I think it was…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
There is a Beatle Winery?
Or Beatle Juice…
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 There’s a Fences Winery run by some some with the name of Lennon.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin
Lyric
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 “Someone Like You” winery? “I’ll Always Be True” winery? Oh well, we’ll find out in a few minutes.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 It was their first single, which turned them into shooting stars?
@InFrom @Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Ah! Bad Company song!
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Perfect clue for all those Bad Company fans out there…
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark it’s about time for him to show up. and i usually don’t have to give a clue. loving this next offer.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 WineSmith?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Got to be! He usually lets his peeps know before launch!




@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I guess WD has laid down the law!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark love that one. any new?
i get nostalgic about this FARM winery up north.
early adopters for us and distinctly good wine. and at the Casemates price??
i haven’t checked, but this may be our first (set) of blends with them.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Art + Farm?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I gotta go with Gard.
@InFrom @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I agree!
@InFrom @karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Of the seven, we’ve had three mixed offers from Gård.
One was a true blend and the other two CS with only minor blending.
@Winedavid49 sheesh! A new meme?
@MarkDaSpark i know, i’m just a little miscreant!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 If only you could mean Dirty & Rowdy…
@klezman @Winedavid49
Hoi Polloi, their Taste of Evil and/or Illicit wines?
Idle Cellars?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Then again, a little miscreant could also be known as a “Juvenile Delinquent” … aka biker gang.
But I don’t think bikers ride Durigutti’s!

But I keep thinking a Durigutti offer.
@Winedavid49
Ah … that type of “little miscreant” !!!


@Winedavid49
Just a little reminder!

@MarkDaSpark
Oh good! The clock in my car will finally be right again!
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark lol so true!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Obligatory mention of: “it’s saving! Not savings!”
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark
i remember having trouble giving a clue the first time this label came on. and i can’t glean anything from the Oscar’s.
here goes:
first name Carrie, last name Chuck.
great wine quality mate.
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Barry Brothers previously. Jim Barry Wines
@Winedavid49
Maybe a clue before you get absorbed in the Oscars?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? it’s as if Euell Gibbons and Jaques Cousteau created a brand.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I could imagine IH Ocean Reserve, but I won’t.
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
Hmmmm … interesting.
I’d say Sea Grape Cellars, if they shipped to more than California and Florida!
Seafall?
Sea Slopes?
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
Mira Winery?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Sea Change wines?
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Scherrer Calypso Vineyard syrah?
@davirom @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin Ever ate a…?
@davirom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49

Allman Brothers; Eat a Peach
Just tossing a lawn dart
@davirom @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Ghost Pines?
@winedavid49
Well done!
@Winedavid49 @rjquillin Yes indeed!


Forgot it was Pine Tree and not rocks (SNL skit? Based on his Grape Nuts commercials.)
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49 … 16 minutes left!
@Winedavid49
So, NCAA March Madness? Hiking? Driving? Visiting?
Or ?..

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Flooded?
Power outage?
@MarkDaSpark @rquillin a combination of double authentication requirements on salesforce and day drinking while watching March Madness.
i’m contrite, but a pretty sound excuse, really.
@rquillin @Winedavid49
You Paddock Peasant you!


@Winedavid49 … hopefully no delays tonight!
And since you missed it …
@MarkDaSpark
I’m back!
Need these two to open. Trips to win!!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Two Jakes of Diamonds perhaps?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 My brain did not go in the direction of poker…good call.
@klezman @msten @Winedavid49
Probably, although it’s Jacks or better to open.
So possibly Three Wine Men (Kings) ?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
Meeker would work; it’s been awhile.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark the largely imported grape in tonight’s offer reminds me of a description of science fiction beam.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Tractor Beam Trebbiano
@msten how on earth did you know to look for that one??
@msten @Winedavid49
Well, if WD ever got Tablas Creek Vineyard Picardan or if Acquiesce Winery and Vineyards offered it …
Or if there was a lot of Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah! Teleport Gris (Light Red)
Both highly unlikely.
Since WD hasn’t Liked @msten’s post yet …
@msten @Winedavid49
Hmmm, phaser?
Val Beylie “Plaisir” from Elixir Wine Group?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
How does Gamay do that, exactly?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark I didn’t say it was a good clue.
“Gamma ray “
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Only one problem, I can think of…
Gamma rays are the real deal. I used to build instruments and detectors for them that are still in orbit.
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Well, it is from Obvious Wines


And remember “The Incredible Hulk”?
“The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds” (science! The younger daughter’s project).
So while very real, they have been used in multiple scifi books/movies/TV plots.
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Oh, and Lasers are real too, and were also used in many Science Fiction plots.
So, we just didn’t think outside the box!
Probably because we don’t normally think of Gamay wines.
@klezman Totally made up. But if someone produces a Tractor Beam Trebbiano I’ll be obliged to buy a case.
@msten Well played
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Another great deal from this goto “daily drinker” winery and et cetera , et cetera , et cetera.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 A number of past wineries fit. Ballard Lane, Ivory & Burt, de Négoce, Shannon Ranch, …
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
King Estates
I almost never get a movie reference!
@klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Yul be glad you guessed this one!
@klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Well done
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 clever
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @msten @Winedavid49
Clever clue, but showing your age!


@InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 si the younger guy getting it correct means what, then?
@InFrom @klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 For one thing, it means I don’t watch enough movies to even know that there was a movie reference involved.
@klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 Movie, shmoovie! (Disclaimer, I am not old enough to have seen this production!)
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @msten @Winedavid49
That “check engine” light is going to come on very soon!





@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten yes, winedavid49 is becoming more of an unassociated nick name by the year!
Clue for tonight? this style wine is not a spumante. more gentle.
@Winedavid49 Frizzante is considered lighter than spumante.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Prosecco seems to be considered a “Frizzante"
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Sôttal Frisante Rosé Sparkling Wine has been up before, as well as Vino Noceto’s Frivolo. Also, IIRC, Anne Amie’s Amrita was considered Frizzante.
But all those were in with other wines.
Maybe a return of Valdo Ca’ Del Cino Prosecco?
