@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 If it’s the one that I’m a rat for, which isn’t Annie Anne, I can’t wait to see the price. It’s delicious. (teaser) (Loved the mystery referral. LOL)
@MarkDaSpark sorry, i got stuck listening to Jayson Kelce’s retirement speech! great, but took a while.
ok, i have a very big sweet spot for Navarro Vineyards, but from a QPR perspective, this winery (at this deal price!) is the best winery in that area for the money. HANDS down.
@karenhynes@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 Sharp as always. I ratted the Zin on a previous offer. Seemed to be the belle of the ball. Haven’t tried any of the others yet.
this series of wines, is at the top of the hill. every time. i believe it’s the lowest price we’ve ever had it here or back in the day. Climb to the top to grab this amazing wine.
@MarkDaSpark I took the night off for my daughter’s wedding in Chicago. Easily the highest end meal I’ve ever eaten (the place is Michelin starred 2011-2023), and service that was beyond impeccable. Sadly, my taste and smell has not yet returned. (Sorry for the blurry image.)
I was hoping Jana & Scott had a Sparkling Rosé, but doesn’t look like it since their sparkling is white. But I did mention the Sparkling in the other three guesses!
It took us over seven months to agree on the name of our daughter, Alaina. Then we liked it so much we decided to name our next baby, which just happened to be a Rosé
King snake, also known as a milk snake or chain snake, is probably one of the most beautiful snakes found on our farms. But that is not where they get the names from. The name ‘king’ comes from their ability to kill and prey on other snakes including the venomous ones, without the venom affecting them. They can eat snakes of the same size and even larger them. They are nonvenomous and that why some people keep them as a pet.
The clue should have been last year! The offer is this year!
@MarkDaSpark happy new year!!
@Winedavid49
Happy New Year!
howdy all. back for a clue.
This wine maker apprenticed under Tom Eddy for many impressive projects. Glad to have them up again.

No problem. Hope everything goes well.

@MarkDaSpark ok, back in the game. Moved my pops to a new spot. not easy. Love that man, regardless of condition.
Clue?
Well, i wouldn’t call it an inferno, but this is one hot deal!
@Winedavid49 Good to hear! Know what you are going through.
Barrel Burner?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 The “inferno” reference makes me think of Dante.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Great call!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark hmmmm amazing single vineyard zin. Friday 24 hour sale. Don’t wince or you might miss it.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Well, Harvest Moon Pitts Estate would fit the “amazing SV Zin” but probably not the actual clue.

@hscottk @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark the book was SO much better.

@MarkDaSpark such a fan of this interpretation ever year. 5 years running? “O bird home” !
@Winedavid49
Twisted Oak?
Meadowcroft?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49

@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark another solid offer from this newish winery partner. Ledbetter vineyards sourced. take the A train!
@Winedavid49
Avivo?
Avivo, like mds said 5 minutes ago. I’ll see myself out.
FYI, other wine is up on Meh
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark such a fun offer coming up. think service station vibe.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Tank Garage Winery?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Probably.
Lower probability: DeSante L’Atelier
Good Evening. Clue?
Harvey’s better half.
@Winedavid49
Jana? Guessing Sauv Blanc but hoping for Rose.
@chipgreen @Winedavid49
I’d be in on the Riesling or Cathedral fer sure
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
Been a looong time since a Cathedral offer.
@chipgreen @rjquillin @Winedavid49 but Angel EIS would be even better
@chipgreen @klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49 I know, I know! but I got ratted…
@chipgreen @jasisk @rjquillin @Winedavid49 love the bubbly. Not the pink. Oh well - not like I need more wine, especially after berserker day.
@jasisk @klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Yeah, not the Rose I was hoping for.
I’d be tickled pink by a Jana offer & better if mixed with her Sav Blanc. I think my wallet just shook!
Ok, football games are over. Where’s the clue @WineDavid49?
@klezman @markdaspark
how 'bout them Niners!
clue?
Latino for Vineyard.

@Winedavid49
Sanctuary Wines
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Sounds like y’all are getting drenched. Should we send you some extra oars for your…boat?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Or maybe Hundred Acre Ark Vineyard?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Or Canoe Ridge Vineyards
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark No, Sasha Baron Cohen did not produce this import.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I’ve got a Domaine Barat, also a Terra D’aligi winery (Ali G., get it?)
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good evening. one of the few brands we’ve offerred from this country. wonder if Dricus du Plessis has visited.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Among the possibilities are Warwick Estate, Warp + Weft, Mulderbosch Vineyards (Raised By Wolves), Stellenbosch…
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
You forgot Marvelous Wines!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 My language was quite precise: the word “Among” is the key!
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Well, that was the only one you didn’t name!
Happy Friday.
this winery is located in a house in Veneto with historical significance.
@Winedavid49 Quite a few choices. Villa Santa Sofia fits.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Guerrieri-Rizzardi
Or
Tenute SalvaTerra
@Winedavid49 Two italian wineries in a week?! Bravo!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark love it!! quite a weekend. i have on good authority that a bowl full is great remedy for hangovers…
@Winedavid49
And I even created a new meme!
@MarkDaSpark
Oh man,
Sorry. I’m only human (and overserved)
@Winedavid49
Well, what did you think about the new meme?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? almost like this old world winery was named after “Fighting Bob”.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 La Follette Los Primeros Chardonnay?
@DanOR @Winedavid49
Tricky! Missed the “old world” significance.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Sparky!
this one is becoming a go to for a quality red blend at a great price. Gotta have some Tannat in it, right??
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Y Rousseau?
@hscottk @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I was just going to say Y. Rousseau. Son of a Butcher Red Blend, but you got there first!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark

good evening. Clue?
Best price ever on this great great partner of ours.
love these wines. they are the Boss, amigo’s!!
@Winedavid49 Twisted Oak?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49 eljefe was commenting earlier this week.
@Mark_L @msten @Winedavid49 agreed. Twisted in the house to try to break our buying moratoria.
good evening. raining like the dickens here. which is also the location of our next offer.
Amazing Pinot’s, first time offerred, post Walt.
@Winedavid49
If not Schug as @msten said, maybe
Foursight Wines (Charles Vineyard)
Or
Papapietro-Perry Winery (Charles Vineyard)
Or even
WALT wines?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 Unless it’s a Roessler offer, since they sold the brand to WALT. He’s got a new(er) label.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Roessler Pinot never disappoints. Have purchased directly post WW days.
@klezman @msten @Winedavid49
Great call!
So the “dickens” was general (Anderson Valley) and not pacific
(sorry klez and @ddeuddeg, couldn’t resist)!
Schug comes to mind, but we’ve seen a couple times in the last year.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark hah, winedavid59 does work…
this parent company winery has become very much a goto for daily drinkers fighting above it’s weight. this brand is splendid with amplitude…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Gard Grand Klasse?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Sounds like Scheid to me.
@Winedavid49
Took you long enough to notice!
going the Warriors game tonight (not part of the clue).
unless you want to start calling him “swishy” !
@Winedavid49 Seems like a slam dunk for Swilly and Zeppelin.
@hscottk @Winedavid49
My thoughts too!
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark well, the source of this vineyard father certainly know’s best.
Something from the Macmurray ranch winery?
@msten @winedavid49
Or Young’s Vineyards?
@msten yep, My 3 Sons is not the correct show. I like the Robert Young responses much better. Good job.
Maybe something from Robert Young Estate Winery.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark happy sunday. always good to come back to some OG’s. Magnifico!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Is Pedroncelli in the house?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 noceto ?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Seems like de Négoce on the threshold
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark working very hard on Noceto. Suzy is a tough cookie.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark well what do you know, another Robert Young sighting. this time for clone.
i believe young in Bulgarian is: Mlad.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Kukeri?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 everyone’s favorite Bulgarian
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49

If brother is a clue … if …
Maybe Durigutti or Roessler?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 don’t fall for it, rats.

i’m very intrigued by the winemaker (and namesake owner) of this new to casemates winery. From Switzerland to Lodi.
@CruelMelody @InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Markus Wine Co.
@Winedavid49
Markus Wine Co?
@CruelMelody @InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 Oy, finally! Oy because I’m not supposed to buy anything. Finally, because we tasted his stuff on the 2018 Tour and it was all delicious!
@CruelMelody @InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Wines look interesting. Encouraged hearing of your experience tasting. WBMs out the door.

Hopefully we don’t have to wait for a clue until the polls close!
And here I created a new meme!
@MarkDaSpark sorry, i got stuck listening to Jayson Kelce’s retirement speech! great, but took a while.
ok, i have a very big sweet spot for Navarro Vineyards, but from a QPR perspective, this winery (at this deal price!) is the best winery in that area for the money. HANDS down.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Handley fits.
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49

@karenhynes @Winedavid49
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Sharp as always. I ratted the Zin on a previous offer. Seemed to be the belle of the ball. Haven’t tried any of the others yet.
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue?
Back by popular demand. ironically, these selections probably don’t go well with a good cut of beef.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Could “ironically” be a reference to Iron (Horse)?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 y rosseau white blend?
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark sorry, hoops ran long.

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Coen Wines or B.R. Cohn?

@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark one word: bungalow
(White this time)
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Searching for a possibility, and about all I can come up with is Buck Shack.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Do I get out a black tie to go with the White Cottage wine?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or perhaps a Housley Casa Blanca wine
@Winedavid49 Bungalow? Ahem!
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Cabana is a synonym of Bungalow. Speaking of Shack!
@Winedavid49
hello.
another crazy good offer from this now goto winery. reminds me of Elaine’s job on Seinfeld, but this a different consonant.
@Winedavid49 mmm Peterson hopefully
@Winedavid49

@danandlisa
Might as well go with

(Miner as in mining drugs and Barrel Burner as in burning in finale.)
@MarkDaSpark They posted it on their FB page as the wine they were selling today. Whoops. If it is not tonight, it will be soon.
@danandlisa

Appears to be brand new on Casemates. Great job, Way to keep track!
I blame WD!

Clue?
Back by popular demand. this fan favorite wine always hits the QPR target!
@Winedavid49
Slingshot?
Edit: Was just getting ready to ask!
Well, we had an Offer spill the beans early, and then an obvious clue … time for an Obscure Clue from @Winedavid49?
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark getting pulled tonight.
Our first one of these in a while. Aka Syrah mate!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Sounds like an Aussie Shiraz.
Farmer’s Leap? Anderson Hill? Shingleback?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 outstanding. You are the GOAT.
Maybe syrahs from those 3 Washington wineries. Canoe ridge and what not
@CruelMelody
I first read that as Wellington winery
@CruelMelody Possible but unlikely. The “mates” indicates Down Under
@CruelMelody @rjquillin
2nd thought was a “mate” of Syrah, i.e., Grenache or Mourvedre (as from GSM blend). But Zin?
I had seen Messenger, but they were Napa/Sonoma sourced. Not from Australia (forgot they were a husband/wife team that had worked there). Doh!
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark a recent “goto” winery with a penchant for QPR. Don’t ask Y.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Y Rousseau?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? a small estate. just across the famous Dordogne river from the Saint Emilion appellation boundary.
@Winedavid49
Château Haut Jonset
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or Château Penin - Vignobles Carteyron or Château Bozelle.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
Or Château Saint Barbe?
Or possibly Marquis de Bellefont or Château de Candale
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Yeah, 4x.
@chipgreen
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark howdy.
killer offer coming up. makes we want to say Booh ya in the Sahara !
@Winedavid49
Showing my age … Sahara makes me think of “Midnight at the Oasis”.
Midnight Cellars?
Or a dessert wine? Scott Harvey’s new Forté…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Here’s a totally wacky guess (because the clue sent me down a twisted rabbit hole)…Boya Chilean?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Not that bad … the Atacama desert is in Chile.
We’ve had:
Elqui Wines
and
Altue from Cremaschi Furlotti Winery
Edit: And that’s my limit of 4!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
If you get 4, I’ll take 2. Another slightly rabbit hole guess…Meeker.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I’m clueless!
@karenhynes @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark second clue. Breeze.
@karenhynes @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Stellenbosch Vineyards?

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 seems to easy
@CruelMelody @Winedavid49
You forget it’s either obscure or obvious …
Evening. hey, what do you know. another & in the mix!
giddyup!
@Winedavid49 A wild guess: Horse & Plow?
@Mark_L @Winedavid49 good guess. I like it
@Winedavid49
@Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? plenty of time for mother’s day delivery. first all pink offer if i recall. i’ll toast to that!
@Winedavid49
Tickle Me Pink and Rosé from Jana & Scott Harvey?
BTW, Gruet Mixed Rosé Sparkling offer on Mon, Apr 24th 2023 was all pink. So Gruet possibly?
@Winedavid49
Ooh, ooh, July of 2018 had Oregon and Washington Rosé
Browne, Waterbrook, & Primarius
So a repeat or similar?
Edit (6:43 PDT): Or an All Browne Family offer of Sparkling & Still Rosé?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 The “toast” clue suggests bubbles.
@Mark_L @Winedavid49
I was hoping Jana & Scott had a Sparkling Rosé, but doesn’t look like it since their sparkling is white. But I did mention the Sparkling in the other three guesses!
Meadowcroft sparkling rose maybe
@CruelMelody maybe iron horse for a Friday offer
@CruelMelody @Winedavid49
Possibly.
Sounds like all pink sparkling though …
Mixed Sparkling Rosé from Portugal?
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 iron horse Brut Rose might defeat my buying moratorium.
@CruelMelody @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Yeah according to CT you have been on a moratorium for a whole 12 days lol.

one of the key figures in the Languedoc wine revolution. their daughter, named after this wine, i bet would agree.
@Winedavid49

@Winedavid49
Mor cluz pls!

@MarkDaSpark fwiw, i thought it was a good clue. even a blind squirrel.
@Winedavid49
It was a great clue!
A Dog & Pony show isn’t supposed to be big or elaborate.
@Winedavid49
