2023 (it's about time!) Clue.

@Winedavid49 King Estates

@msten @Winedavid49

Fat Ass Ranch & Winery?

He’s no Michael Jordan. Talent, yes. Class? Nope.

@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…

@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)?

@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

A return of Stokes’ Ghost Petite Sirah ?

@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

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.

@MarkDaSpark happy friday. clue? Wellington connection.

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Denier-Handal?

@ctmariner @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Could be something from David Noyes, but D-H more likely.

@MarkDaSpark clue?

This wine is great by any measurement, k?

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 nice clue.

@Winedavid49 Onesta?

@Winedavid49

Boedecker Cellars or Peterson Winery?

Or Kukeri?

@Winedavid49

Wait, it wasn’t “Yesya”???

@MarkDaSpark happy friday! Clue? apparently Fred and Zero Manipulation go hand in hand.

@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

Scott Harvey Cab???

SH Zin & Jana Cab. But not to be …

@msten

Good call!

@Savagesam that might actually get me to bite. The week before Berserker Day, no less.

@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!

@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?)

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.

Kevin said Fri, Dec 29th 2017 at 10:54am ET

Hmmm, didn’t we get Beer Kits on the old site?

@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

@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

Daou?

Humm…

@karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid49

Humm…

Not like they haven’t been here before.

@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!

@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!

@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.

@Winedavid49

Ram’s Gate Winery?

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Either that or Roche Carneros.

@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Roche would be a great offer… Just saying…

@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!

@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!

@rjquillin 1,000 Stories (or Buck Shack)

@Winedavid49

I guess I need to start setting a 2nd timer to remind me to check back!

@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

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.

@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:

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.

@Mark_L @Winedavid49

But most wines from outside the US here have been through Elixir or One Vine.

@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

goto OR value

methinks something from OR, not CA

@danandlisa @Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49

Good point on that! Forget how tricky WD can be.

@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”, winery, barb

Château Sainte Barbe shows up if you add “France” to it, 2nd result.

@MarkDaSpark clue? founding fathers Jefferson and Patrick.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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 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

Thinking about this more, isn’t it maybe Peter Mondavi?

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

TOM & MARILYN STOLPMAN - Founding Partners

Peter is Tom’s son

Good clue!

@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!

@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!

French-born Daniel Manies was the first cellarmaster at Opus One.

@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or, the write up from the previous offer here on CM:

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.

@davirom @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I dunno - cellar master != Winemaker

@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Wasn’t George Santos the cellarmaster there?

@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!

@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!

“Shooting Star”

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,

@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Perfect clue for all those Bad Company fans out there…

@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!

@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.

@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” !!!

@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

@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?

Aged their Napa red wines for three months in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.

@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 @rjquillin Yes indeed!

Forgot it was Pine Tree and not rocks (SNL skit? Based on his Grape Nuts commercials.)

@Winedavid49

@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!

@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.

@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

@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

si the younger guy getting it correct means what, then?

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!

@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?

@Winedavid49

@MarkDaSpark Sonoma film festival movie ran long! I met Karen Allen!

Clue? Nothing opaque here. Right in front of your nose!

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Seems Obvious.

@MarkDaSpark Matias can party.

@Winedavid49 tch, tch, tch I knew I should have used the Obvious/Obscure meme!

Matías Riccitelli The Party Malbec

@MarkDaSpark hey now! clue? tilling comes to mind.

you’re an all-star

@Winedavid49

Broken Earth!

@mediocrebot what is the trigger for the “all-star” response?

@davirom The bot’s version of rick-rolling?

@davirom @InFrom
hey now!

just testing

you’re an all-star

@davirom @InFrom
Yup, that was it…

awesome

it seems is out of favor.

@Winedavid49 Marshall and Lollobrigida Cellars?

@Winedavid49 OK, there’s a Marshall Davis winery, that says “We make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from our estate vineyard located in The Yamhill-Carlton AVA…”
Very tricky if that’s right, since there really isn’t an actress named Gina Davis… There is a Geena tho.

@InFrom @Winedavid49 yeah but WD has never been known for his spelling accuracy

@MarkDaSpark clue? Marine- Mammal -Center

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49

Iron horse? Specifically, ocean reserve

@joe139 @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I think I’ve seen that one offered elsewhere lately too…

@joe139 @Winedavid49

I can see why we ALL thought it would be Ocean Reserve!

I am very excited to announce a new partnership. Proceeds from our just released 2019 vintage of Ocean Reserve Blanc de Blancs will be donated to The Marine Mammal Center, the world’s largest marine mammal hospital, based in Sausalito, CA. The caring work that the scientists, veterinarians and expert caregivers provide for sick and injured marine mammals is both heart-warming and essential to the diverse eco system of our California coast, helping protect the health of the ocean.

@stever52 good question! I shoulda used mine by now.

@jmdavidson1 @stever52
Wasted mine as well; sigh…

@rjquillin @stever52 is there really a statute of limitations on those coupons? State law should be that there are no expiration dates!!!

@MarkDaSpark

Clue?

aka McGuire street

@Winedavid49

Please sir, can we have more?

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Baker Lane?

@karenhynes @Winedavid49

Tricky!

Tobey Mcguire ( his G is not capitalized!)

@MarkDaSpark clue? made by a winery At the foot of mount Cetona…

@Winedavid49

Couldn’t be DAOU, right?

DAOU buys in Tuscany

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Barbanera?

@karenhynes @Winedavid49

Colle Nero Tra Di Noi?

@MarkDaSpark clue? VERY excited about this offer. a long par 5 from my house and the walk would pass by vineyards owned by the grower mentioned on these bottles.

please tell your friends about this one. i consider the grower as friends.

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Schug?

@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
This, or a nearly identical, clue has been used before, I think; but my grey matter is leaking out so I have no additional recollection.

@karenhynes @Winedavid49

Maybe … but WD doesn’t say the Par 5 is to the Winery, just that the “walk” would pass the vineyards the “grower” owns.

Durrell Vineyards is the grower?

So maybe Saxon Brown?

@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Well, I do get it dealt with generally once a year, except during the recent madness.

@Winedavid49 What is the vineyard just behind your property?
