@Winedavid49
There’s some Beringer that may fit that profile;
but which one?
And I like the Moran Manor direction better.
Anagram would be a pricy selection.
But it has to be a hop … so Frog or a Rabbit. But Frog’s Leap is in Napa (and hasn’t been on CM, IIRC) and Frog’s Tooth is in Murphy’s (Sierra Foothils). So Rabbit Ridge looks to be the winner?
And Oceano had two offers in Oct., Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay.
@MarkDaSpark@msten@Winedavid59 Oh, that makes sense.
It’s totally WD’s diabolical plan to wait until just after Berserker Day to unleash irresistible deals. Shame on you!
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49@Winedavid59 I don’t know where you got married!
Bennett Valley?
Russian River Valley? (Hard to say it doesn’t get enough love)
Unless you mean something far more fun like the Santa Clara Valley - we going to the Bay Area? I have spent many miles biking along Sand Hill Road. Woodside Vineyards is near there.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49 I had the same thought when I read “tasing and spitting”. I get a picture of someone swishing wine around in their mouth and spitting it out when they are tased.
@kawichris650@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid59 Laura Michael sounds right assuming that “theze” was part of the clue. But then again WD isn’t known for his error-free spelling/typing!
It was the first and only clue of yours that I was able to figure out. (But I admit I’m nowhere near as knowledgeable about wineries as many of the others on here.)
@kawichris650@Winedavid59 All this clue makes me think of is the Dead song. I doubt we’re getting Alabama wine! But I’m sure there are a couple Grateful Dead themed wineries/wines…
Hey - how’s everyone’s brackets doing? Does anyone even have time for a guess…
“A red from the heart of the Rhône Valley, where sun-kissed vines produce a wine with deep, spiced flavors. Named after a saint and a riding accessory, this bottle is ready to take your taste buds on a bold ride.”
my MM bracket not doing so good. Anyways, onto the clue: A wine blend that HOPS between flavors as lively as its name, crafted to leap out of the glass with rich, bold reds and can possibly stain your enamel.
Mermosa Bubbles by Mermosa Wines
Or other offer from them.
Our mermaids create Mermosa using Premium white wine and a splash of natural orange and pineapple juices for a refreshing, not-too-sweet finish. We handcraft our wines in the coastal range of the US where the Pacific Ocean maritime air currents shape the flavor profile of the grapes.
@klezman@MarkDaSpark@WCCWineGirl
I try to guess a winery that has been here before unless the clue indicates that they are new or if I can’t find anything from a previous winery that fits the clue. When I googled, Ascension had an appropriately named wine and I bought a dessert wine of theirs from WW back in 2017, so I went with that.
I did wonder if owning the new UC had opened up access to La Sirena, as they have had La Sirena in some recent offers, and all of my own La Sirena bottles have come from the original UC.
I think it’s Tuesday evening, and there should be a new wine for Wednesday. @WCCWineGirl shouldn’t we have gotten a clue by now? It’s only 90 minutes away…
Her track record definitely speaks for itself and her mind seems to be in sync with WD, but without any clue whatsoever, even Karen might struggle on this one (unless she happens to be a Lab Rat).
@kawichris650@rjquillin@WCCWineGirl
Y’all are cracking me up! Sadly, I crashed last night before any of this was posted. Of course, I then woke up at 1am and couldn’t go back to sleep. Stupid sleep cycle.
The TRUTH of the matter is I got delayed and HONESTLY almost forgot but this wine is purely VIRTUOUS and it saddens me to let you all know that this will be their last offer on Casemates. Don’t let it slip away…
@MarkDaSpark clue? whenever i see this winery name (known as much for growing as making) it reminds me of Earl, paint and body repair company (southern cal i think).
@karenhynes@klezman@MarkDaSpark@Ten9Eight@Winedavid59
and they are here in San Diego. Stopped by years ago to buy/pick-up a smaller walk-in cellar from them and there were jugs of mega purple in the back room…
just sayin
popular every release. i need to check, but i bet it’s our 4th time vintage from this small wine maker. the label reminds us it will go good with steak.
@MarkDaSpark haha, i’ll live. but i felt like a snared anamial for a while. kind of an odd feeling. but i’m good.
this (first name) person is already in the hall. Pete and Shoeless can now join him. Shoeless played in the same era and people reminded him of Pete. spikes up!
@davirom@Winedavid49 well done. Agree likely a case deal. ( well, I guess they’re all a “case deal”). Has the Twisted Oak inventory been distributed? I see the “whoops”, but the extra special character could be a loose T.O. reference.
Hmm. See video. The next part is “. . .or you can call me Jay”, so maybe J vineyards? It goes on “. . . but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson”, and there are a lot of Johnson wine references.
good evening. i don’t know about a clue but this winery has become a treasure trove of quality wines and a fantastic price. go ahead and get swept away with this offer.
@msten@Winedavid59 I was going to suggest Tank Garage (who has appeared here) Expression Session, but then I noticed that WD had already liked your reply. Oh well…
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid59@karenhynes OK, how did IH have my email address? Just after posting my guess I got an email inviting me to peruse their site. That’s a first.
@Mark_L@MarkDaSpark@msten@Winedavid49
MacRostie would be enticing, and their office is/was in the same building WD once occupied. And that reminds me I need to go and find some of them…
once this d@*&^% covid departs and I feel like eating/drinking again
@InFrom Thanks. Can’t call this one the China flu, as the wife just returned from Japan, and brought me this gift; sigh.
No wine, no coffee since last Friday; first world problem.
@kaolis@Winedavid59@karenhynes
Somewhat, but still testing positive. Over a week now, but just a week since I actually first tested.
Thanks.
And I’ve got a '13 of that open in the fridge right now; good stuff at +12.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49@Winedavid59 Too true. Every day I get an email saying your wine will be delivered tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Hopefully it is still lovely. And no, it never made it on the truck for delivery. Maybe tomorrow.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin ok, so that was the longest trip back from the central valley to Sonoma. note to self, don’t take an electric car on a trip through the san juaquin valley. paltry options for charging stations…
clue? i am VERY excited to bring this RPM alum winery back together with us. Maybe the proprietor play some music during the offer!
good evening. this may be the most fun offer we’ve ever done. two " Rushmore" winemakers, both of them labratting each other’s wines. wines neither of them will produce again. i could not be more excited.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49@Winedavid59 Noceto gets mentioned in this category as well, as well as Wellington (but I’m doubtful of that, but it would be very special!).
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid59
I saw that…are Sonoma Plaza and Sonoma Square the same place/thing? I haven’t been in the area in years. Overdue for a visit, me thinks!
Capo Isetta:
This tasting room is located on the Sonoma Plaza and has been open for a few weeks. It features a back room with comfortable seating for four and plans for another room with a TV and large table.
@jmdavidson1@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid59 I think it was actually a woot gathering. molarchae and I were camping in Calaveras County, were trying to get to Scott’s, and then got a flat tire. We got there late, but enjoyed the 1982 Late Harvest Riesling that Scott made and shared!
@klezman Dont you remember the rpm tour during which we had dinner in the vineyard and afterwards we went to his cellar and he opened his homemade something?
Scott is very generous to us. It was several times … RPM Tour and at least 2 times we were there AFTER the PS I LOVE You silent auction party that us Wooters gathered there on the following night.
So while most of us were wooters, we did have several non-wooters there (after hitting favorite wineries that day). WD & WineFarm came by at least 1 time too.
Rut Row, Rhaggy! Rott Harvey (Scott Harvey) Mountain Rection Rines (Mountain Selection Wines … Syrah & Zin have York Vineyards grapes in them).
Edit: Google said TickleMeWines also use York Vineyard grapes (Concord), and one of Scott’s labels are Tickle Me (Pink/Blond/Noir), but not sure it they meant his label.
@msten@Winedavid59
Reminds me of a buddy from back in the day. Mr. Hero’s slogan used to be “The family place to go”. When we would eat lunch there, he always called it the “Ramily race to row”.
Did you know that Mr. Hero exists only in Ohio? Almost exclusively in NEO. Can you imagine life without the Romanburger? That is not a World I would want to live in!
I believe WD’s property backs up against a vineyard/producer that has sold here before, but for the life of me, I don’t recall which one, despite him mentioning them long ago.
@Winedavid49
MacRostie would be nice, you used to be neighbors with them in your storage building, at least when I was up there once; may still be. Go twist an arm.
@rjquillin@winedavid49
I thought it was Schug that was adjacent to WD’s home…Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly?
(not a guess for the clue, just a response to Ron’s earlier question.)
@MarkDaSpark clue? Ana is one of my favorite owners. Originally from Mexico, although her last name does not reflect it. This label, does give a nod to her Mexican heritage.
@jmdavidson1@rjquillin@Winedavid59 It’s >20 mins past turnover time, and we have a clue, finally! Something to do with an old dog, per the survey question. Chateau Vieux Chien, that’s my guess.
/giphy Chateau Vieux Chien
Anybody have a clue when the wine will make an appearance?
Another anomaly, over on meh there’s no link for to discuss the Ruah offer.
@jmdavidson1@rjquillin@Winedavid59 Funny, when I refreshed Casemates the new sale didn’t load, ditto when I closed the tab and clicked the link over on meh. But when I clicked the “Casemates” link at the bottom of this page, there it was.
I still don’t see a discussion on either site. @ilCesare is waiting patiently to make his post…
I’ve run out of clues for this one, even though it remains popular. Kind of like the catalog business that was on Jerry Seinfeld with Elaine working there. W/out the j and replace m with an s.
Hi all. had a great night in the city last night. saw the singers from the Movie “Once” in concert. Fantastic. great indy movie if you haven’t seen it. a family favorite.
clue?
originally Dairy farmers, this Russian River gem from the next generation is highly regarded. glad we have the chance to offer at a very very good price.
" i wouldn’t trade it for gold…" (highly obscure Once reference).
just came back from a apple brandy tasting up in Sebastopol (not part of the clue). but this winery is on it’s way sort of. it’s been a minute since we’ve run these folks. but i’m sure the offer will light up the sky.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid49@Winedavid59 Love Prohibition Spirits! Their Zinfandel brandy is excellent. The Pinot Noir too. Not in Sebastopol, true, but that’s what came to mind.
@MarkDaSpark
Karen can usually read WD’s mind, so she probably nailed it with Mclaren Vale, but I will go deep into the woods to guess Ginkgo Forest Winery.
This neighbor and small partner winery has always appreciated the quick revenue injection a casemates type offer gives. sometimes we’ll even put them on quicker than normal. which is cool.
@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid59 Onesta? J Dusi? I don’t think we’ve had Acquiesce before. I can’t imagine it would be Iron Horse who would have been rumoured to be selling, or Cathy.
@MarkDaSpark@rjquillin@Winedavid59 let’s go Blue Jays! I haven’t been this jazzed about baseball since 1993. Cito Gaston and Joe Carter throwing out the first pitches for games 1 and 2 gave me some feels. Fingers crossed for Jays in 6, but I think this actually goes 7.
@MarkDaSpark Good evening. just came back from Sam Sebastiani’s funeral and celebration of life at Viansa winery. Sam (and ironically Jon) brought me to Sonoma. it was a good day.
clue? there may have been a few at the service. but i don’t think any of them were bearded.
@karenhynes@msten@rjquillin 1: horse that brung us – points to one of our OG wineries. 2: large rabbit – if you don’t see it, well, neither did anyone else (except for Elwood P. Dowd).
@karenhynes@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid59 I’d guess the second offer is the relabeled Pedroncelli friends red or Sonoma Classico with the wish-it-was-funny-like-woot label.
@Winedavid49 I would guess Pedroncelli (Legacy Block Zinfandel, Courage Zinfandel, Endurance Estate Red Blend) if they hadn’t appeared here so recently, but might as well throw it in the ring.
@CruelMelody@Winedavid59 Oh, of course! She is absolutely doing interesting stuff! And neither far north nor south in CA. Maybe some Enz Vineyard Cabernet Pfeffer is on the way…
@winedavid59
Just in case you’ve lost track of when this is.
I think tomorrow is Friday.
Aren’t we due for a clue?
@rjquillin hah! You are right!!
I need a butler! (Yes that is part of the clue)
Knights Valley offering!
Great for the mansion!
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 Moran Manor?
@Winedavid49
There’s some Beringer that may fit that profile;
but which one?
And I like the Moran Manor direction better.
Anagram would be a pricy selection.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark he all! clue? i bet this wine has a great soul. maybe that of a lion.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Daou?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Daou “Soul of a Lion” sure fits. Surprising as there was a Daou offering just two weeks ago.
@karenhynes @Mark_L @Winedavid59
That was last year!
@karenhynes @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 I’ll guess King estate. (King of the jungle).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Leoni?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59

Gary Farrell
@karenhynes @klezman @Winedavid59
Tie? Both said " a few seconds ago" !!
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
I haven’t even opened a bottle from the last case.
it’s on my “short list” of options for this weekend.
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
do let us know, but before this weekend
about to watch the football game!
this is a major event, this white wine is a major discount. unlike the name on the label (sp?).
@Winedavid59
Sterling Vineyards?
Tayson Pierce Rothchild?
@Winedavid59 good game
@rjquillin @Winedavid59 bad pun
@Winedavid59
Good clue
Another football game and time for another clue @WineDavid59!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark pretty distracted!
clue?
a new favorite (2nd offer?) for a great deal on wine just a hop down Paso way.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 I didn’t do any research but I’m saying frogs leap
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Rabbit Ridge? Have they been here?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Isn’t Oceano from SLO, a stone’s throw from Paso
@msten @Winedavid59 @karenhynes
But it has to be a hop … so Frog or a Rabbit. But Frog’s Leap is in Napa (and hasn’t been on CM, IIRC) and Frog’s Tooth is in Murphy’s (Sierra Foothils). So Rabbit Ridge looks to be the winner?
And Oceano had two offers in Oct., Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay.
@karenhynes @msten @Winedavid59
Although, WD did indicate they’d been up at least once, and neither Rabbit Ridge nor Frolicking Frog Cellars has been up yet.
So maybe it is Oceano, but not sure where the “hop” comes in … ??
And SLO is down Paso way …
@karenhynes @msten @Winedavid59
Aha! Sneaky, sneaky WD!
Goats can “hop”. And while from Flying Goat Cellars (who have had several offers), their YNOT? Label has only been up once!
Santa Barbara County is “close” to Paso.
Google also had the Oceanic Dolphin “hopping” … really? But that “could” be the reason if it’s Oceano …
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 dang I even ratted that one
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 clue?
not only the name of a winery, but also a color or fabric, and a town in Mass.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Somerset Vineyards and Winery.
@msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
There’s also Andover Estate Wines in the Arroyo Seco appellation (Monterey region).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Well done!
Uh huh!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
A worthy repeat. I think you’ll agree they always hit the mark
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Slingshot?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Probably, but i’ll go with “Markus Wine Co.”, just for contrarianism.
Archery Summit?
@DanOR ooo. That’d be nice in the future!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hello. apologies. just had a couple of nice glasses with Cameron Hughes (not part of the clue). he’s got some things cooking.
clue? Moscato in the house! more than 4 people will want this wine!
@Winedavid59
Tell me it’s Vino Noceto’s Frivolo!
Or is it Raywood Vineyards?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 How about funf5 moscato?
@InFrom @Winedavid59
Forgot about Quady …
Clue tonight?
daughter of Davis.
@Winedavid59 Not finding a lot, but maybe Lily Fleur Rose?
@Mark_L @Winedavid59
Or a “daughter” of UC Davis?
Onesta?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
First name Davis
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Alexia (New Zealand)?
@Winedavid59
Stella
@Mark_L @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Really? Really?
Typo alert!
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Hold up. Davis Bynum wine is connected.
I know the Baltimore-Buffalo game is still on but it’s time to ask @WineDavid59 for a clue!
@klezman
Sorry, was at Medieval Times and just got home.

@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Good football.
clue? i’d consider this northwest winery a find over the last couple of years. another couple of gems tonight (made by sand?).
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Shannon Ridge Old Pearl?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 More Desert Wind?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Sandstone Cellars?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? also a Neil Young song i can’t get out of my head.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Another appearance of Harvest Moon?
@InFrom @Winedavid59
Hoping it’s the song & not the Album!
Iron Horse Heart of the Vineyard Chardonnay?
or
Il Cuore “The Heart” Cabernet Sauvignon?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Why’s that?
@InFrom @Winedavid59
As in “Heart of Gold” Song, duh!
Which could mean Iron Horse!
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
That was/is an outstanding album
Clue? i don’t think it’s a meritage, but it’s located there.
@Winedavid59
Trinitas??
@Winedavid59
Please Sir, can we have more?
@karenhynes @Winedavid59
And Star Lane Vineyard & Winery, and Winesmith, and Judd’s Hill, and …
Thus, begging for more!
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 chateau haut Merlot
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? no, not just Tannat!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
The mere mention of tannat brings to mind Y Rousseau or Wine Smith.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 And the “not just” suggests Yannick will be back, maybe with one of his Cabernets.
Clue? we hold these truths…
@Winedavid59
Obvious Wines?
@karenhynes @Winedavid59 alternate winery
Clue? solid repeat at a better price. perfect for home or bungalow.

@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
clue?
it’s been nuts how long it took me to get this winery back for another offer. but i persevered
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Maybe Noceto. Wine club is “nuts”.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 Oh, that makes sense.
It’s totally WD’s diabolical plan to wait until just after Berserker Day to unleash irresistible deals. Shame on you!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
More likely the charm of Alice, or WineFarm …
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hah, great movie scene!!
this is a chance to buy again on a great value wine from San Carlos (Altamira) and Tunuyán regions!
@Winedavid59
Carlos Basso aka Bodega Amalia
Their Argentinian Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec again?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Inconceivable! (but probable!)
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark Stokes ghost
@MarkDaSpark crap. Sorry. Got pulled
Early super bowl day clue (so i don’t eff it up again):
i believe it’s the first non holloween time frame wine we have offerred from this winery.
here’s to a competitive game! (and great commercials)!!
@Winedavid59 Something from Armida, perhaps?
@Winedavid59
Michael Pozzan
@rjquillin @Winedavid59 @InFrom
Or Vampire Vineyards?
@Winedavid59
Armida was my first thought but I will throw Stokes Ghost and Ghost Signs out there.
@chipgreen @Winedavid59 @InFrom @rjquillin
I think only Armida and Vampire have been here in October.
Your 2 have been here several times outside Halloween.

tonight’s label could be a description of a knitting prowess or an M16 or CIA description.
@Winedavid59 Warp & Weft?
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? excited to run this underappreciated region. personal note. got married at a cathedral in this Valley. near sand hill.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Anderson Valley? Shenandoah Valley? Santa Maria Valley? Carmel Valley? All underappreciated by some measures…
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 nope
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 I don’t know where you got married!
Bennett Valley?
Russian River Valley? (Hard to say it doesn’t get enough love)
Unless you mean something far more fun like the Santa Clara Valley - we going to the Bay Area? I have spent many miles biking along Sand Hill Road. Woodside Vineyards is near there.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 missed it by thiiiis much!
@WineDavid59
@MarkDaSpark back in the saddle.
clue?
gaffer.
Early clue. Out at premiere napa “”tasing and “spitting”.
Clue? Apparently it’s also a kind of chestnut.
@Winedavid49 Portuguese Rapadas
@Winedavid49 Enjoy! That sounds like fun! Maybe you can secure a special barrel for us casemateers!
@Winedavid49
Domaine Maraval?
@Winedavid49 One of the many wineries with Castagno in the name?
@Winedavid49 “tasing”???
Gives new meaning to Wine Tastings!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I had the same thought when I read “tasing and spitting”. I get a picture of someone swishing wine around in their mouth and spitting it out when they are tased.
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark !!
Next to the Margaret River. Apparently they have a beautiful outdoor theatre. Maybe they’ll play that Deniro thriller with Nick Nolte
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Cape Fear Vineyard?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Meh… that’s in NC…unlikely.
I shall halt consumption and continue searching. Soon.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
There’s a Cape Mentelle, though no Nolte on staff.
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark i’m so sad about Cathy Gore (Cheron98) who passed away way too young. a true friend of this community.
i’m going to tell you what is launching tonight and has been in que for a long time. which makes this coincidence all the mor poignant.
tonight’s offer is from the winery where Cat and Eric (HitanyKey) celebrated their wedding.
Twisted Oak… Man…
@Winedavid59 That is poignant.
She would have appreciated it.
@Winedavid59 You and your timing…ugh
Almost pulled it.
@WineDavid59
@MarkDaSpark place your bets on this wine, you may hit paydirt
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Longshot wines.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Ace of spades
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Great clue.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 thank you. tonight’s? not so much.
a long par 5 from my home in carneros. first time winery here. killer deal coming up.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 what’s your addy?
@losthighwayz @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
I’m not sure exactly where WD lives, but I’m confident is saying…it’s a long waaaaay
@karenhynes @losthighwayz @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Can I guess it’s a Pinot?
Robledo?
@chipgreen
I guess Robledo is only a par 4 from the homestead.
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
Clue? “ get a grip on it Peter!”
I crack myself up.
@Winedavid49
Barnard Griffin Winery?
Or Scott Harvey’s The Griffin Society wines?
@Winedavid49
Guess you had to be there?
Thought with the “crack me up” thought it was “Family Guy’s” Peter Griffin, instead, Peter Wellington.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I think he was laughing at his own pun. Grip ---- Handal.
@WineDavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark good evening. clue ?
an italian next to Ty.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Muscardini!
@losthighwayz @Winedavid59
Probably … but VJB Vineyards & Cellars is in between Ty & Muscardini tasting rooms!
They haven’t shared that tasting room in years!
WD probably forgot they aren’t roomies anymore!
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? a Frenchman in Clarksburg can do wonders.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Y Rousseau (Clarksburg Tannat)?
clue?
~$20.00 more this time. but worth it.
@Winedavid59
I think we might need more than that!
So many good’uns!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Well, in another thread he said to look for Twisted Oak, so maybe more Spaniard? Potty Mouth? Tempranillo?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 There’s another clue on The Spaniard thread.
@davirom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 mixed case with come Cockamamie would be great.
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
early sell out. great stuff!
good thing we have a great offer coming up. it’s Real Madrid v Barcelona, i’m telling you.
@Winedavid59 Noceto California Classico?
Well at least I had the Classico part right! Can’t believe I didn’t think of Pedroncelli.
Sounds Spanish, so Tempranillo?
@Winedavid59
Hopefully remembered it was Spring “Forward”!
@Winedavid59
Maybe he didn’t?
Clue? this brand does not say storm, but i do think of Schwarzkopf.
@Winedavid59 Desert Wind.
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? is this her first white with us after all theze years?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Laura Michael?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Gård Vintners
Albariño?
@kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Laura Michael sounds right assuming that “theze” was part of the clue. But then again WD isn’t known for his error-free spelling/typing!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
I can’t recall a J Dusi white wine.
@kawichris650 @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Yes, more likely; I see she does do some Chard and has a '23 Chenin on CT.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
I have bought several vintages of J. Dusi Pinot Gris here and at the old site. My favorite PG!
I was going to guess Onesta but the only white on their website is a BdB (I wish!), so how about Peterson?
good guess on Laura Michael!
clue? funny, i’m about to take a vacation. a getaway…
@Winedavid59
It was the first and only clue of yours that I was able to figure out.
(But I admit I’m nowhere near as knowledgeable about wineries as many of the others on here.)
@kawichris650 @Winedavid59 All this clue makes me think of is the Dead song. I doubt we’re getting Alabama wine! But I’m sure there are a couple Grateful Dead themed wineries/wines…
@kawichris650 @klezman @Winedavid59 red car
hello, last clue from me for a week or so. Winegirl will be an able replacement. Off to Costa Rica, clue? the beauty, majesty, scope of it all…
@Winedavid59
Stardust? Mulderbosch?
@Winedavid59 Have a great trip!
@InFrom @Winedavid59
Friend of mine retired there; built a house.
It has guest rooms.
Nice piece of property in a very rural area.
What part of CR you visiting?
I’m on deck for the next 2 weeks. Here we go…
This prickly duo hails from the Napa Valley.
Happy Sunday all.
@WCCWineGirl
Welcome back!
Two Old Dogs?
@WCCWineGirl Thorn Hill?
@InFrom @WCCWineGirl Good one!
@InFrom ooooo so close
@WCCWineGirl
@WCCWineGirl
a red blend that shares its name with a sibling.
Too difficult? From Paso.
@WCCWineGirl
Four Sisters?
@WCCWineGirl
Daou?
@WCCWineGirl
Nah, but I got distracted and forgot to check back! Doh!
Hey - how’s everyone’s brackets doing? Does anyone even have time for a guess…
“A red from the heart of the Rhône Valley, where sun-kissed vines produce a wine with deep, spiced flavors. Named after a saint and a riding accessory, this bottle is ready to take your taste buds on a bold ride.”
@WCCWineGirl
Combes Saint Sauveur ?
@MarkDaSpark no but seems close
@MarkDaSpark it does start with a C and Saint is in the wine name
@MarkDaSpark @WCCWineGirl Chateau De Saint Cosme?
my MM bracket not doing so good. Anyways, onto the clue: A wine blend that HOPS between flavors as lively as its name, crafted to leap out of the glass with rich, bold reds and can possibly stain your enamel.
@WCCWineGirl Easy enough that even I can figure out it’s Frog’s Tooth!
@WCCWineGirl maybe I can be a rat again at some point!
Like a mermaid’s kiss on a sunny day, this rosé brings a refreshing blend of fruity and floral notes, perfect for a taste of the Mediterranean.
@WCCWineGirl
Ascension Siren Rosé?
@WCCWineGirl
Mermosa Bubbles by Mermosa Wines
Or other offer from them.
@chipgreen @WCCWineGirl
Bella Sirena Wines?
@chipgreen @WCCWineGirl
So close! Kept thinking it was a European wine because of the “Mediterranean” mention! Doh!
@MarkDaSpark @WCCWineGirl
Figures. La Sirena was actually my first thought but didn’t expect to see a Heidi Barrett wine here.
@chipgreen @MarkDaSpark @WCCWineGirl Why not? La Sirena shows up on Wine Spies often enough.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @WCCWineGirl
I try to guess a winery that has been here before unless the clue indicates that they are new or if I can’t find anything from a previous winery that fits the clue. When I googled, Ascension had an appropriately named wine and I bought a dessert wine of theirs from WW back in 2017, so I went with that.
I did wonder if owning the new UC had opened up access to La Sirena, as they have had La Sirena in some recent offers, and all of my own La Sirena bottles have come from the original UC.
I think it’s Tuesday evening, and there should be a new wine for Wednesday. @WCCWineGirl shouldn’t we have gotten a clue by now? It’s only 90 minutes away…
@rjquillin
You are correct. And that can only mean…
Tomorrow is Wednesday.
@kawichris650 @WCCWineGirl @WindDavid59
What a piker for a substitute.
Where’s ElJefe or Peter?
@rjquillin @WCCWineGirl
Perhaps a labrat could chime in with a last second clue? (But I won’t hold my breath.)
@kawichris650 @WCCWineGirl
We don’t need a clue, just ask @karenhynes, she should know for sure!
@karenhynes @rjquillin @WCCWineGirl
Her track record definitely speaks for itself and her mind seems to be in sync with WD, but without any clue whatsoever, even Karen might struggle on this one (unless she happens to be a Lab Rat).
@karenhynes @kawichris650 @rjquillin apologies for my delay.
@kawichris650 @rjquillin @WCCWineGirl
Y’all are cracking me up! Sadly, I crashed last night before any of this was posted. Of course, I then woke up at 1am and couldn’t go back to sleep. Stupid sleep cycle.
The TRUTH of the matter is I got delayed and HONESTLY almost forgot but this wine is purely VIRTUOUS and it saddens me to let you all know that this will be their last offer on Casemates.
Don’t let it slip away…
@WCCWineGirl Onesta?
@WCCWineGirl
@MarkDaSpark Pura Vida everyone!
clue? Edwin and Junius
@Winedavid59
Miller Family Wine Company J. Wilkes label?

@MarkDaSpark
They are having their own sale, of sorts.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin good evening. clue?
C & E - it’s the E.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin i might have given the clue on a past offer. if so, sorry about that.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 That clue (and apology) suggests another E11even offering.
Good evening. clue? not just some of the best zinfandel in the world. also Etrusca!
@Winedavid59
I’m starting my initial guess with Gamba Winery.
@karenhynes @Winedavid59 prima materia

@a5meiser @Winedavid59
Kale Wines?
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark i don’t know about a clue, but in times like these there’s a rush to quality. Amador rushmore, coming with the good stuff.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Scott Harvey?
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? whenever i see this winery name (known as much for growing as making) it reminds me of Earl, paint and body repair company (southern cal i think).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
I’m guessing Scheid Vineyards?
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
Sorry, got pulled.
quick clue?
Beer music!
@Winedavid59 Wow, you went super literal today!
Best we moved on from today’s offer. rare early clue??
by far the best deal from this winery. Even Randall would be proud!
So early!..and with no begging!
Not sure my brain can engage before I pop a cork but I’ll try.
Two guesses: Harvest Moon or Bonny Doon?
Haha! I’m a poet!!!
@karenhynes @Winedavid59
That or his Pacific Rim label!
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Ivory & Burt would also fit the “Randall” bent.
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Plank! Where’s the plank?! Who’s got the plank?!
@davirom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
/giphy walk the plank
@Winedavid59 I am guessing someone is busy.
@danandlisa @Winedavid59
Or still trying to recover from Friday
@davirom @kawichris650 @Winedavid59 @danandlisa @rjquillin
Or recovering from basketball. The Heart Attack League …
@danandlisa @davirom @kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59
Ok, I do have an excuse. Not a very good one.
I was out playing golf with my buddies at his son’s bachelor weekend.
we were taping the masters and my friends said I could not access a computer or the phone until we watched it.
Just watched Rory put on the green jacket. Love it (with apologies)
@danandlisa @davirom @kawichris650 @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 “taping”? lol we are getting old
@danandlisa @davirom @kawichris650 @losthighwayz @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 dead give away!
Good evening. a great deal coming up from Argentina. i happen to think of olives when this name comes up. am i wrong?
@Winedavid59
Bent Press?
@Winedavid59 Yes
For those wondering … Olio Alberti. Not one most of us are familiar with!
@Winedavid59
Excited for this winemaker’s expression this grape.
Earlier than Z…
@Winedavid49 Yannick coming back with some Cabernet this time?
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? Berghoff and Mike (not Alda).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59

@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark Back from the central valley. great in the spring.
this wine is from our white wine friendly friends from the northwest. and…also out of the playoffs
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
King Estate?
@Winedavid59
(Forgot to use this for Monday’s offer!)
@MarkDaSpark nice!
i wouldn’t say the wine in this offer is resplendent, but it’s pretty good and the price is akin to the Grand Canyon view!
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? Was Rico from the Verona area??
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Was Uncle Rico Dynamite from Verona, Lake County, California?
good evening. when in doubt go with the brothers! chao.
@Winedavid59
Buoncristiani?
And did you mean Ciao?
@Winedavid59 ciao* ( it’s been a long week)
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Dagnabit! I was thinking Pedroncelli too, but discounted due to “brothers”! Doh!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 I guess you need to read the back of the bottle, then!
a more specific clue tonight. geography test.
a ridge in a ski area in the san Gabriel mountains is same name as the vineyard source of this wine.
@Winedavid59
deLorimier Winery
St. Anne’s Crossing Winery
Rock Wall
@Winedavid59
Or another Harris Kratka Vineyard winery?
@Winedavid59
Of course, it was Bruce Patch, one of the Harris Kratka unnamed wineries! It was going to be the 4th initially, but I try to only list 3! Doh!
Early clue (there’s playoff basketball to watch!).
staying sports theme (shocking). Former MLB pitcher Ron…
@Winedavid59
Darling Wines?
@Winedavid59
Happy May Day!
@MarkDaSpark alright. clue?
Nothing normal about this offer.
@Winedavid59
I would have said Grandeur, except they were up recently.
Nothing “normal”??? Zeppelin Wines!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Mackinaw Valley Vineyard from outside Normal, IL?
@MarkDaSpark @Ten9Eight @Winedavid59 Isn’t there an Unusual Wines?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Ten9Eight @Winedavid59
There’s an Abnormal Wine Company…
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Ten9Eight @Winedavid59
and they are here in San Diego. Stopped by years ago to buy/pick-up a smaller walk-in cellar from them and there were jugs of mega purple in the back room…
just sayin
Maybe a sarcastic clue? Obvious wines
@WineDavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? nothing weak about this offer Mr. Czervik!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 menu
Caddyshack Buschwood Crest Etched Wine
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
2nd clue played by…
@msten @Winedavid59
Dagnabit! I forgot to check back!
Al Czervik = Rodney Dangerfield
Rodney & Winery Google search finds …
Rodney Strong!
And I forgot to check back!
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
Yeah…I had it too, but got distracted…by wine!
@karenhynes @msten @Winedavid59
I blame msten!
(Didn’t we used to blame @jwhite6114 or @tommythecat?)
@jwhite6114 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 Blame?! Moi?! I never did anything blame worthy back in the day!!! Really though it was @jwhite6114 that was at fault for most things…
@jwhite6114 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @tommythecat @Winedavid59
LOL
@jwhite6114 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @tommythecat @Winedavid59
Though I may have knocked you off the trail of a good clue, the Bushwood would have been a sellout.
@jwhite6114 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @msten @tommythecat @Winedavid59
I thought everything was @corrado’s fault
@corrado @jwhite6114 @karenhynes @klezman @msten @tommythecat @Winedavid59
@jwhite6114 @karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @tommythecat @Winedavid59 Some things never change.
@corrado @jwhite6114 @karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 My somewhat bad memory tried to run cover for ya but alas the truth came out…
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark go Warriors.
popular every release. i need to check, but i bet it’s our 4th time vintage from this small wine maker. the label reminds us it will go good with steak.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 maybe I’ll finally get a case of the butcher red blend?
@CruelMelody @Winedavid59
Unless WD is miscounting, that’s been up st least 5 times already!
@CruelMelody @Winedavid59
Plus, I didn’t see "steak"on front or back labels.
Unless it’s due to the cow?
@Winedavid59
Must be busy with basketball …
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark Well, if it helps, I’m a natural rat for this one…
@benguin986 @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark wow, i just flat out missed it. wasn’t even drinking. sorry folks. will get one out tonight.
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hello. this sonoma winery has a wine from Cayote Creek. care to guess?
@Winedavid59
Rancho Coyote Vineyards & Winery?
Ooh, oooh!
Muscardini ! Vermentino 2021
Sheesh! Almost forgot to ask @Winedavid59 for the clue!
Oh man, a trip to urgent care after a run in with some rusty barbed wire that snagged me. Alls well after the tetanus shot. Sorry I missed the clue.
@Winedavid49
Ugh. Fixing fences at your digs?
@Winedavid59
All better after Urgent Care? Or do we need Daryl?
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark haha, i’ll live. but i felt like a snared anamial for a while. kind of an odd feeling. but i’m good.
this (first name) person is already in the hall. Pete and Shoeless can now join him. Shoeless played in the same era and people reminded him of Pete. spikes up!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Time for some Ty???
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Well done.
Yes. The C C needs a break

@Winedavid59
Sei Querce Wines
@Winedavid59 seis soles
Good evening. Clue?
This label is named after the word “fire” translated from the original inhabitants of Mendoza and San Juan called the Huarpes.
Well, there is Huarpe Wines but that’s got to be too obvious to count
Clue?
93 James Suckling makes it hard for this wine to be incognito. killer deal.
@Winedavid59
So many to choose from!
Substance? Schug? Provenance? Keenan?
Provenance in the lead?
@Winedavid59 Guess I’ll have to hide the cc.
@jmdavidson1 @Winedavid59
Tricky! Good one WD!
Good evening. clue?
Another stellar offer from a newer “goto” winery. This one isn’t from Bradford, but another renowned vineyard. great price as always.
@Winedavid59
Peterson?
@Winedavid59
Peterson Winery?
Edit: beat me by 3 minutes!
Delay due to OCD … checking spelling, putting in winery, etc.
@Winedavid59
@Winedavid59
1 hour to go!
@MarkDaSpark sorry, kids in town.
clue?
this is the first napa winery i remember, that came out of the shoot with a more modern architecture.
great to have them in our corridors.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 We’ve seen Artesa before.
good evening. clue?
let’s just say i don’t have to go to the gym the week leading up to this next event. plenty of ~$38lb weights to lug around.
@Winedavid49 38 lb is about the weight of a case, but the “$” is throwing me.
@davirom oops
@davirom @Winedavid49 maybe a mystery case? I’m hoping for an assortment of white wines
@davirom @Winedavid49 well done. Agree likely a case deal. ( well, I guess they’re all a “case deal”). Has the Twisted Oak inventory been distributed? I see the “whoops”, but the extra special character could be a loose T.O. reference.
@Winedavid59
wow, what a fantastic mystery case response!
Let’s Celebrate!!
@Winedavid59
Iron Horse?
@kawichris650 nah, we are only getting Joy’s chard and Pinot (stay tuned) nowadays.
@kawichris650 @Winedavid59 Gruet?
@Winedavid59

@Mark_L @karenhynes
Yep, that was my other guess.
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
Good evening.
Clue? I’ve only let one of my grandfather’s and recently a Dubliner pal call me this.
Anyone else muttered it, it was a provocation. Got it Buster?!?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 gobshite winery
@Winedavid49 Great Clue!
good evening. clue?
if memory serves, the lead scientist in the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind (great movie!) would have called a UFO this.
@Winedavid59 OVNI shows up in several wines/wineries (Bonny Doon, Chilean Ovni, Spanish, …).
Clue?
You can call me ray or you can call me… do you see?
@Winedavid49 ha I’ll take the easy ones! J Dusi
@CruelMelody @Winedavid49
Man, Hawaii time is throwing me off! I keep thinking 3 hours behind, so keep missing (7:41 Hawaii, but new offer already up)!
Hmm. See video. The next part is “. . .or you can call me Jay”, so maybe J vineyards? It goes on “. . . but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson”, and there are a lot of Johnson wine references.
@davirom Overthinking it I guess. But I’m glad I found the video
.
good evening. i don’t know about a clue but this winery has become a treasure trove of quality wines and a fantastic price. go ahead and get swept away with this offer.
Desert Wind?
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark Good evening. stock up on this daily drinker from about as trusted a source as they come. priced like Frivolo.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59

@chipgreen @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 well done.
Maybe a Pedroncelli friends white

Golden bear/Charger receiver.
93 suckling… hmmmm…
@Winedavid59
Keenan Winery … Chardonnay or Cab
good evening. quite the contrast from tonight’s deal.
clue? Beatle’s album that was never released?
@Winedavid59 We’ve seen Rutherford Ranch Winery before, they have a low alcohol CA Sessions line.
@msten @Winedavid59 I was going to suggest Tank Garage (who has appeared here) Expression Session, but then I noticed that WD had already liked your reply. Oh well…
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark good evening. Excited to be starting something new tonight. stay tuned.
as far as a clue, Paso Robles never new what hit 'em when they started their winery.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 So many choices. J. Lohr, Turley, Tablas Creek, …?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 is this finally becoming moonshine mates?
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Ah, “new” as in a hold option, not the appearance of a new winery.
good evening. clue?
no this is not a private boarding school in the tennis capital of California.
@Winedavid59

@MarkDaSpark @winedavid59 Frog’s Leap or Toad Hollow?
@WineDavid59
@MarkDaSpark love this offer. it’s like Ortega started a wine brand.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 ha there’s a winery literally called Ortega family wines
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 but maybe we’re going Spanish with picante espana
@WineDavid59
@MarkDaSpark Good evening. clue? this fan and my personal favorite can pull it off. like a freight train!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Iron Horse something? Enjoying a bottle of their Resilience tonight, as it happens. Goes well with heat and humidity.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 @karenhynes OK, how did IH have my email address? Just after posting my guess I got an email inviting me to peruse their site. That’s a first.
@WineDavid59 So, no clue tonight?
@jmdavidson1
Sorry , got caught up. Guess I can’t criticize when I have glass barn err…
Second clue(this late): 8th street

how about sedimentary street.
Adobe Road
@merrybill
Thought you had it! Tricky WD!
@Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hello!
Clue? Famous Winemaker same name as movie that infamously interrupted NFL game many years ago.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Heidi Barrett, but which wine?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 Probably correct, but (not as famous) MacRostie has Heidi Bridenhagen as a winemaker.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
MacRostie would be enticing, and their office is/was in the same building WD once occupied. And that reminds me I need to go and find some of them…
once this d@*&^% covid departs and I feel like eating/drinking again
@rjquillin Sorry to hear you’re sick. Feel better soon. Eating and drinking are important.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
La Sirena has been here before, me thinks…
@InFrom Thanks. Can’t call this one the China flu, as the wife just returned from Japan, and brought me this gift; sigh.
No wine, no coffee since last Friday; first world problem.
@karenhynes @msten @Winedavid49 @rjquillin
Just moved a La Sirena Rose from my wine locker to my home wine refrigerator today!
Also, Scheid Family Vineyards has a Heidi too!
Sorry covid hit you RJQ!
Edit: Shows how Texas time affects me! Didn’t look at the time to see that it was AFTER! Doh!
@rjquillin bummer
@kaolis @rjquillin Hope you are feeling better @rjquillin. clue?
hmmm… i wonder if he was named after George… after all his father was in the motion picture business… i’m geeked to have them back!
@kaolis @rjquillin @Winedavid59
Meeker?
@kaolis @Winedavid59 @karenhynes
Somewhat, but still testing positive. Over a week now, but just a week since I actually first tested.
Thanks.
And I’ve got a '13 of that open in the fridge right now; good stuff at +12.
@kaolis @karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid59 Meeker?! Yes! Extra bonus from the “geeked out” comment.
Friday’s always sneak up on me. clue? easy one.
masculine connotation for Scott?
@Winedavid59
Scott Harvey!
Or Scotto Family Cellars
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? may be our most important NW winery partner. top 2 for sure.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 King Estate’s North by Northwest certainly comes to mind.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Or Gård.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 wow, two notifications in short order. next thing you’ll be employing yellow journalism (that’s my clue).
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Hmm…Randolph Cellars?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Or Hearst Ranch.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Also noticed Gray Randolph Wines.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Technically, the 2nd notice was almost 30 minutes AFTER the first “Waiting” … which was 3 HOURS after the initial begging!
clue?
Eugene, OR brewing. fun offer!
@Winedavid59 Alesong Brewing?
@Mark_L @Winedavid59 Viking Braggot?
@Winedavid59 You are in my front yard. There are so many choices.
@Winedavid59 is sake one over there? That’d be nice!
Where’s a drunken bowtie when you need him?
@klezman @Winedavid59
I’ve tried contacting steve the president once a quarter for the last two or three years tough nut
@klezman @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Maybe try every other month?
Or threaten to have him added to the AARP mailing list?
Happy 4th of July!
Better get a clue in before going to more Sonoma festivities!
some times the deal is so in your face, to clear, you have to run it. you feel me?
@Winedavid59
Dragon Ridge? (“feel me” => Radioactive by Imagine Dragons )
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Sounds like it may be Obvious (although they had a recent offering).
good evening. Clue?
after Dave met Emily, they both dug deep to start great this winery.
Miner Family Winery
good evening. clue?
this Edna Valley “vinyard Coast” winery is a steal at this upcoming price.
@Winedavid59
Fossil Point? Piedra Creek? Kochana Wines?
Effort/Center of Effort?
@Winedavid59
Ha, ha, ha … “Vineyard Coast” = Costa Vinedo
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @winedavid59
is there some sporting event preempting the clue?
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59
OMG, I had the clue and I swear to God I thought I did it earlier. My mistake sorry.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
For now, we’ll just call you Mr. UPS
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Too true. Every day I get an email saying your wine will be delivered tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Hopefully it is still lovely. And no, it never made it on the truck for delivery. Maybe tomorrow.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 i deserved that!
@danandlisa @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Or the two purchases that were delivered weeks before the shipping notice even went out.
early clue so i don’t forget!
even though this is in South America, this wine evokes a
Spanish region.
@Winedavid59
Maybe a Torrontes from La Rioja region of Argentina
@msten @Winedavid59
Or something from the La Riojana Co-op?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
perhaps we need to get @winedavid59 a TicToc account so he can keep track of time
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin ok, so that was the longest trip back from the central valley to Sonoma. note to self, don’t take an electric car on a trip through the san juaquin valley. paltry options for charging stations…
clue? i am VERY excited to bring this RPM alum winery back together with us. Maybe the proprietor play some music during the offer!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Kunde?
Buena Vista?
Rasmussen?
more unlikely
(were either of these from rpm?)
Little Vineyards
or Clark…
@rjquillin @Winedavid59
Proprietor playing must be Rich Little from Little Vineyards. Played for us during the first RPM Tour (2008)!
Kunde was on at least the 2010 Tour. BV was in 2008 (first appearance of the count(?) for anyone there). Kent was always after the tours for us.
RPM is the distinguished silver haired gentleman on the left, and the other is @AndyDuncan.
Their Band Blend is fantastic!
@Winedavid59, @Winedavid49
@Winedavid59, @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark It had better be an All Star offering!
He’s stuck in a UPS truck; delivery tomorrow, possibly
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 Perfect answer! Maybe the day after…
@danandlisa @rjquillin @Winedavid49 I just hope he’s not declared “Undeliverable. Returned to shipper.”!
Got lost in the all star game!
@Winedavid59, @Winedavid49
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
good evening. this may be the most fun offer we’ve ever done. two " Rushmore" winemakers, both of them labratting each other’s wines. wines neither of them will produce again. i could not be more excited.
enjoy this.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Maybe Pedroncelli? Scott Harvey?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Noceto gets mentioned in this category as well, as well as Wellington (but I’m doubtful of that, but it would be very special!).
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Not sure if they both have attained “Mt. Rushmore”-stature, but I’m going with Twisted Oak and Onesta.
@InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 I don’t know if Onesta has Rushmore status. But Pedroncelli, Scott, Wellington, Twisted Oak, and Noceto definitely have it.
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Are these sticky?
@InFrom @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 All of the above make/made port. All delicious, too!
@InFrom @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59
Yes
Wow, what a great day.
Tough fact to follow
We have to go all the way to La Morra Italy for this person plus his brother Gianni to bring you our next great offer.
@Winedavid49
ENZO BOGLIETTI Winery
@Winedavid59, @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark clue? pretty sure they have the newest tasting room on the Sonoma square.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Moon Hollow?
@karenhynes @Winedavid59
If not them, Patz & Hall just got approval in June for a tasting room just off the Plaza.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Good guess. And probably accurate, but not the answer!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
I saw that…are Sonoma Plaza and Sonoma Square the same place/thing? I haven’t been in the area in years. Overdue for a visit, me thinks!
@karenhynes @Winedavid59
I believe so …
Gehricke Wines Tasting Room?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Oooh…I like their pinots!
@karenhynes @Winedavid59

@MarkDaSpark
Generally, a character thinks it goes good with fava beens etc.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 There are far too many Chiantis out there!
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 It has been suggested for Benessere Zin and Pinot Grigio,
@klezman @Mark_L @Winedavid49
Perhaps one that’s already been on Casemates?
Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Riserva
or
Campo Pietra Chianti Riserva
or
Villa Bibbiani Chianti Montalbano DOCG
@WineDavid59, @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Good evening. Petaluma Gap does a pretty good interpretation of Cote’…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Keller Estate Rôtie?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Taht sounds accurate! Maybe I should open up a bottle of the 2016 I have.
@klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Those have all been good, from what I recall, but I’d have to dig back a few more vintages to find one.
happy friday!
clue? Jenna and Greg…
@Winedavid59
Dharma is a line of wines produced by Bodega Calle
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Howdy. clue? a select few have tasted his brandy underneath the house… and it was, like his wines, great as expected.
@Winedavid59
Scott Harvey!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
What, you can’t elevate “underneath the house” to cellar?
@rjquillin @Winedavid59
Well, technically, it didn’t start as a wine cellar!
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 that was the best time I’ve ever had in a Kosher slaughterhouse.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 Was that rpm 2014?
@jmdavidson1 @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 I think it was actually a woot gathering. molarchae and I were camping in Calaveras County, were trying to get to Scott’s, and then got a flat tire. We got there late, but enjoyed the 1982 Late Harvest Riesling that Scott made and shared!
@klezman Dont you remember the rpm tour during which we had dinner in the vineyard and afterwards we went to his cellar and he opened his homemade something?
@jmdavidson1 @klezman @rpm
I think that may have been the '12 tour; were you on that one? I know you went on the '14 but don’t have the details handy…
@klezman @rjquillin Yes.
@jmdavidson1 yes, there were multiple times we did that!
@jmdavidson1 @klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid59
Scott is very generous to us. It was several times … RPM Tour and at least 2 times we were there AFTER the PS I LOVE You silent auction party that us Wooters gathered there on the following night.
So while most of us were wooters, we did have several non-wooters there (after hitting favorite wineries that day). WD & WineFarm came by at least 1 time too.
Clue?
standing, four legged, on top of Jamieson Canyon no doubt.

@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Wilson Winery?
or Vinum Cellars (Their grapes come from Wilson Farms)?
or Katy Wilson of Anaba Dutton Ranch Wines?
@InFrom @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Teach me to take too long researching all possibilities!!
Also there’s Castaway Island Chardonnay from
New Zealand Gisborne (very remote possibility!)
@InFrom @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Kicking myself … CAST was the first on Google, and wanted to list it as CAST(away) and left it off focusing on the “Wilson” aspect! Doh!

Dry Creek is like Switzerland?
@Winedavid59

@Winedavid59 There seems to be several Dry Creek wineries, including Peterson, producing wine from neutral barrels…
@davirom @Winedavid59
Doh! Helps to look at Dry Creek, not Lodi wineries!
Frei Brothers?
Or Asti Winery (Souverain), part of EJ Gallo (if still open!)
(Asti used to be Italian Swiss Colony.)
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59

Clue?
Bound to be some dust on this farm.
@Winedavid49
Desert Wind
@msten @Winedavid49
Probably that. Or Wind Gap Wines with a lower probability.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 wind Gap gas been gone for years. Unless pax found a stash of wine I doubt that’s it.
@Winedavid49. Airballed a good clue
@msten @Winedavid49 farm ≠ ranch
That really was a good clue tho
@Winedavid59, @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good one!

Although there’s a Cider Horse Farm that might be a possibility.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark inconceivable!
clue? no delusions here. next offer is a killer price!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Is it something Obvious?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Not quite.
@danandlisa @Mark_L @Winedavid59
Saw it, but the “Delusions of Grandeur” never occurred to me … until AFTER the change.
I did see it on the list of past Wineries, and wondered, but the “Delusions of” was forgotten!
Great one WD!
Good evening. US open, Djokovich. that my excuse…

@msten @CruelMelody @Winedavid59
Rut Row, Rhaggy! Rott Harvey (Scott Harvey) Mountain Rection Rines (Mountain Selection Wines … Syrah & Zin have York Vineyards grapes in them).
Edit: Google said TickleMeWines also use York Vineyard grapes (Concord), and one of Scott’s labels are Tickle Me (Pink/Blond/Noir), but not sure it they meant his label.
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 Easton maybe? They have Fiddletown grapes.
@msten @Winedavid59
Reminds me of a buddy from back in the day. Mr. Hero’s slogan used to be “The family place to go”. When we would eat lunch there, he always called it the “Ramily race to row”.
Did you know that Mr. Hero exists only in Ohio? Almost exclusively in NEO. Can you imagine life without the Romanburger? That is not a World I would want to live in!
Clue? Dossier-o

clue? i’ll aways think of the capybara when we launch this boutique winery.
@Winedavid59
Denier-Handel? (Lived in Ecuador for 38 years)
Or Riccitelli?
Or most likely … Calyptra Vineyards & Winery
@Winedavid59
I also keep thinking that WD might use these two:
Costa Vinedo or Cabana wineries!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Nice call with the Denier-Handel!
clue?

@Winedavid59
Villa Wolf rose was a hit.
@msten @Winedavid59

@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @WineDavid59
It was time, this time yesterday!
Given the meager stock that seems to have been allocated.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin guilty as charged!
clue? well, our own winegirl use to work there. terrible clue i know. but that’s what i got!
@rjquillin @Winedavid59
Well, it’s either Ty Caton or Muscardini!
And given Ty had an offer in August, and Muscardini was back in May, I think it’s more likely Muscardini.
But then Ty is ALWAYS popular!
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 something from the wine woot cellar
I believe WD’s property backs up against a vineyard/producer that has sold here before, but for the life of me, I don’t recall which one, despite him mentioning them long ago.
@rjquillin
MacRostie maybe?
New clue. Famous Yale hurler
@Winedavid49 Darling Wines?
@rjquillin @Winedavid49
Darling Family Wines
Edit: Darn it! Thought I refreshed before posting! Nope!
@Winedavid49
MacRostie would be nice, you used to be neighbors with them in your storage building, at least when I was up there once; may still be. Go twist an arm.
@rjquillin yes
@rjquillin @winedavid49
I thought it was Schug that was adjacent to WD’s home…Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly?
(not a guess for the clue, just a response to Ron’s earlier question.)
@karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid49
I think Schug (and maybe) MacRostie were golf drives away.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Schug; I think you’re correct.
Now, if only I could find WD’s address…
Should there not be a new clue?
@danandlisa It’s kind of hidden after Ron’s comment from Tuesday night. Speaking of Rons, Ron Darling figures into the leading guess.
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good evening. sorry for the delay, i was on a brief enjoyable vacation.
@Winedavid59
Sashay Wines?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 sojourn?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Something from Respite Winery?
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
some other sites have sojourn today as well (if that ends up being the offer)
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 I see they were sold recently, the second time in a few years. https://www.wineberserkers.com/t/sojourn-cellars-sold/339225/6
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
Working on it
@MarkDaSpark clue? Ana is one of my favorite owners. Originally from Mexico, although her last name does not reflect it. This label, does give a nod to her Mexican heritage.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Keller Estate? La Cruz?
@Mark_L @Winedavid59
So WD maybe is referring to Keller’s Casa Wines label and not the main one.
We had their Casa Wines Chardonnay & Rosé by Keller Estate in 2021, and the Chardonnay again in 2022.
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
clue? AMV acquisition.
@Winedavid59 More Qupe.
@msten @Winedavid59
would be good
No clue?
@jmdavidson1 @winedavid59
gotta tag him
@jmdavidson1 @Winedavid59
But even that’s not guaranteed to get a result.
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin @Winedavid59 We’re totally clueless.
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin @Winedavid59 It’s >20 mins past turnover time, and we have a clue, finally! Something to do with an old dog, per the survey question. Chateau Vieux Chien, that’s my guess.
/giphy Chateau Vieux Chien
Anybody have a clue when the wine will make an appearance?
Another anomaly, over on meh there’s no link for to discuss the Ruah offer.
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin @Winedavid59 Big miscalculation putting in a Giphy so close to the end of the editing window. Not entertaining at all!
@InFrom @jmdavidson1 @Winedavid59
discussion is up on meh, just not here on CM
@jmdavidson1 @rjquillin @Winedavid59 Funny, when I refreshed Casemates the new sale didn’t load, ditto when I closed the tab and clicked the link over on meh. But when I clicked the “Casemates” link at the bottom of this page, there it was.
I still don’t see a discussion on either site. @ilCesare is waiting patiently to make his post…
Oh, there we go.
@InFrom
you want a different one?
any better?

just came back from a apple brandy tasting up in Sebastopol (not part of the clue). but this winery is on it’s way sort of. it’s been a minute since we’ve run these folks. but i’m sure the offer will light up the sky.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Shooting Star?
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 I didn’t know where that is but Harvest Moon
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Love Prohibition Spirits! Their Zinfandel brandy is excellent. The Pinot Noir too. Not in Sebastopol, true, but that’s what came to mind.
@winedavid59
Just over two hours to go, and MdS seems to be snoozing as well.
Time to ask @WineDavid59 for a clue!
i’m very excited about this coming offer. i hope the boss shows up to give a breakdown. plus a few of my own.
@Winedavid59 The Boss?
@InFrom @Winedavid59 Who’s the Boss?
Or are we getting Tony Danza wine?
@InFrom @klezman @Winedavid59

@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59
McLaren Vale Cellars?
@MarkDaSpark
Karen can usually read WD’s mind, so she probably nailed it with Mclaren Vale, but I will go deep into the woods to guess Ginkgo Forest Winery.
@chipgreen @MarkDaSpark @karenhynes
Help me out; while likely correct, and Absinthe highly improbable, what is the McLaren Vale connection to the clue?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin
I’m assuming Vale is a variation of Valeria. I reverse engineered her answer.
@chipgreen @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin
https://mclarenvalecellars.com/blogs/articles/did-you-know-wine-was-once-used-as-medicine
@chipgreen @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark tnx

Huh, Vinum. I enjoyed their White Elephant blend from back in the day. Think I might still have a couple left!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
This neighbor and small partner winery has always appreciated the quick revenue injection a casemates type offer gives. sometimes we’ll even put them on quicker than normal. which is cool.
Blame it on the John Candy documentary.

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Onesta? J Dusi? I don’t think we’ve had Acquiesce before. I can’t imagine it would be Iron Horse who would have been rumoured to be selling, or Cathy.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59

@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 macchia?
@CruelMelody @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Isn’t that Qupé?
@InFrom Yes. Good call. Qupe =California poppy.
@jmdavidson1 Curious to see which one.
@CruelMelody @InFrom @Mark_L @Winedavid59 @jmdavison1
Depends if WD uses the Chumash word (Qupé) or the Tongva one (Mekachaa aka Macchia).
Edit to add: Although their website says:
@MarkDaSpark In Italian as in caffe macchiato can be spotted or stained.
@jmdavidson1
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark world series. what can i say.
clue?
this vineyard is above the Cosumnes River. and a young TV show.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Provenance Vineyards
And the Jays seem to be on top of the LA blue
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 let’s go Blue Jays! I haven’t been this jazzed about baseball since 1993. Cito Gaston and Joe Carter throwing out the first pitches for games 1 and 2 gave me some feels. Fingers crossed for Jays in 6, but I think this actually goes 7.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 I spoke to a guy yesterday who’s uncle caught Otani’s HR to tie in game 3. The uncle has been offered $2MM for the ball.
I’m really enjoying the series. I hope it goes seven.
Clue? Is this the most expensive wine we’ve ever offered? In Heidi we trust.
@Winedavid49
La Sirena … Cab?
Or a Barrett & Barrett? Or Amuse Bouche?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 this sounds be interesting!
But I hope the Jays close it out tomorrow
@klezman @Winedavid49
Yes … by losing!
@Winedavid49 should be interesting on a couple levels.
@Winedavid49 no, I think the provenance Beckstoffer cab was not expensive than this. Not by a lot, mind you.
@klezman @Winedavid49
but more or less?
Nope, this one is not the most expensive.
That one was $90/btl taxed and delivered from the 20191205 offer where the Case of 12 for $999.99
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 fucking autocorrect generates more errors than corrections. I typed “more” and it changed it after the fact. Grumble.
@klezman
ahhh, must proofread the post, within the edit window
@rjquillin which I do about 90% of the time. Twice. Forgot that time I guess.
good evening. pre-world series clue.
sure, it ain’t no Pepperbridge. but what is??
@Winedavid59
Canoe Ridge?
@karenhynes @Winedavid59 Bridge Lane or Bridge 1904?
good evening!
an unusual mixed offer from this winery. no clones in this block!
@Winedavid59 Pedroncelli (without Mother Clones)?
@Mark_L @Winedavid59
Except Mother Clone IS one of the wines!
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark the clue is designed to guess the winery, not the wine. but i digress.
tonight’s clue? well, it’s not a beaver , but it could be Amalthea.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 My only guess is something associated with a goat. Flying Goat appeared a good while ago.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Donkey And Goat
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
Look to the sky
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Capra?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49 in my defense, it was a “beaver moon” the other night.
clue for tonight?
this wine sounds like a mix between the mickey mouse club and Bowie’s (my favorite) song Suffragette City. go figure.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Wow, not a clue. What are you smoking?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59 the good stuff!
I know, it’s out there. Doesn’t help that it’s French?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Still, I have nothing. Paging karen h.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Great clue.
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
really?
tonight? was the original post office. or famous southern author.
@Mark_L @msten @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Falkner Winery? But they’re Temecula!
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
Sector 6-
@Winedavid49 red truck
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark Good evening. just came back from Sam Sebastiani’s funeral and celebration of life at Viansa winery. Sam (and ironically Jon) brought me to Sonoma. it was a good day.
clue? there may have been a few at the service. but i don’t think any of them were bearded.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Goats Do Roam? There are a surprising number of goat themed labels.
@Winedavid59
Y. Rousseau. Milady Chardonnay ?
Flying Goat?
Donkey & Goat?
Dragon Ridge?
From what I think could be likely to less likely!
@MarkDaSpark goats at Sam’s services?? hmmm… lots of wildlife discussed.
there are other species that are bearded. clams for instance. what else?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Mussels. Irises.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 isn’t there a bearded Jay? So maybe Walt Blue Jay? There are other bearded birds like vultures - Aglianico del Vulture?
Friday is just a bit more than an hour away
MdS and @winedavid59 must both be snoozing…
@rjquillin Probably watching Elsbeth.
@InFrom @rjquillin stokes ghost
@CruelMelody @InFrom
Ahhh, the whisper of a Rat?
@InFrom @rjquillin ha no jk I doubt that would be a Friday offer. WD ghosting us is the clue tonight
@CruelMelody @InFrom @rjquillin Damn, thursdays always mess me up. my bad.

@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Domaine audiffred
@CruelMelody @Winedavid59
Wasn’t the Skylark Restaurant in Chicago at 2149 S Halsted STREET?
good afternoon, evening. we couldn’t turn down this repeat at a killer price. who will be “first” to “respond”?
@Winedavid59
Hook and Ladder?
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark good evening. this location reminds me of a movie staring Maureen O’hara, Roddy Mcdowell and walter Pigeon.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Iron Horse???
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Or Dutton Ranch?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Yup, Green Valley
Well done Karen, and nice clue from WD
good evening. clue? i grew up working in my parent’s small town sporting goods store. the opposite physically of what we are know.
@Winedavid59
Box Wine Company ?
Black Box Wine ?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
I’d think that would be weak for a Friday offer,
unless I’m thinking the wrong producer and wine.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 sounds more like brick and mortar
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid59
Forgot about that one
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 I wasn’t even sure it was a winery - but it fit the clue!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark good evening. clue? this winery has become such a reliable partner. i think the name should mean Swedish for QPR !
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 En Gard!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Football…
Dallas was a good one
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 more like farm work while there was daylight… clue?
also a small rural town in Steuben County, New York,
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 Peterson?
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Buena Vista?
@CruelMelody @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59 I’m with CruelMelody since Bradford fits the clue.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark 6 different of these wines? it’s like a…legion!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Roman Reserve? Is Clark coming back? Can he withstand people kvetching about past offers that some didn’t like?
Some people just won’t let bygones be bygones…
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Interesting clue. Perhaps some obscure Kukeri reference?
Well this is the Internet and you know the saying screw me once…
@ScottW58 I’ll keep coming back?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark No clue? It’s a mystery!
Anybody see a discussion thread?
I see it’s up now
good evening.
ok, back to basics. best deal on this set in a long time.
QPR for giorni!
@Winedavid59 Pedroncelli mixed case, or are we getting their last round of Port?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hello! hope you had a nice thanksgiving holiday!
tonight? Thracians ritual.
@Winedavid59
Kukeri
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Enira !?
@rjquillin @Winedavid59
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark
Good evening.
Getting back to the horse that brung us! Or is it a large rabbit?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Scott Harvey
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid49
I’d be more inclined to think Iron Horse.
Another 4-letter site had their '21 Home Block PN up earlier today
@rjquillin I’m with @msten. Scott fits both parts of WD’s hint.
@InFrom @msten
I guess I’m missing the connection then, not at all surprising.
paging @karenhynes
@InFrom @msten @rjquillin
Hmmm…
I’m going to go with Scott Family, Scotto Cellars, or Scotti (Argentina).
(since Scott Harvey was already guessed)
@karenhynes @msten @rjquillin 1: horse that brung us – points to one of our OG wineries. 2: large rabbit – if you don’t see it, well, neither did anyone else (except for Elwood P. Dowd).
@karenhynes @msten @rjquillin The new offer is as invisible as that danged rabbit.
@InFrom @karenhynes @msten
Yeah, I submitted a ticket ~11 minutes into the offer;
working now.
Second offer in a row now…
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Togh one. Hoover animal, that’s the first clue…
Second one. Fantastic participation on her inaugural offer
@Winedavid49 Elkhorn Peak?
@hscottk @Winedavid49
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark clue? this deal is absolute nuts!!! and harder and harder to secure. better jump.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Noceto?
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Well done!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark hello and happy holidays!
two offers tonight. both blends. this one is all from the Tollini vineyards. the other? a few miles southeast. Cheers!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Peterson?
@karenhynes @Winedavid59
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 I’d guess the second offer is the relabeled Pedroncelli friends red or Sonoma Classico with the wish-it-was-funny-like-woot label.
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
On meh?
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin good evening. clue?
Rob Reiner.
@karenhynes @klezman @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59 Hopefully not Andre!
@karenhynes @klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid59
LOL
@klezman @Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Laura Michael (Stivic) Winery??
@karenhynes @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Castle Rock Vineyards?
Or Hartford Family Winery’s Warrior Princess Block
@karenhynes @klezman @Mark_L @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Talk about Obscure!
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark Clue? courage, endurance, legacy.
@Winedavid59
Outcast Wines?
@Winedavid59
Hook & Ladder (firemen have courage, etc.)
Keep coming back to this, too bad no one actually uses it!
All label names btw
@Winedavid49 I would guess Pedroncelli (Legacy Block Zinfandel, Courage Zinfandel, Endurance Estate Red Blend) if they hadn’t appeared here so recently, but might as well throw it in the ring.
good evening. clue?
aka “Home” ly
@Winedavid59
Maison Louis Latour
Casa Wines by Keller Estate
Obscure? Bergevin Lane She-Devil
@Winedavid59
Cabana Winery?
Maison L’Envoye
@winedavid59
Did the clue servers crash?
@rjquillin not yet! clue?
negotiating is getting harder with these wines. but secured a deal just in time for new years!!
@rjquillin @Winedavid59 Seems like time for a Gruet offering.
@Mark_L @Winedavid59
Could be Gruet,
however we haven’t seen any IH bubbly recently, and that would be nice.
@Mark_L @Winedavid59
One could only hope, in vain.
Good evening. clue?
Russian River Original.
@Winedavid59
Replica Wines or Harvest Moon
We’ve had Foppiano previously.
@msten
I was going to say "so? … but you were just stating it.
Edit: You do realize you “can” post a response to WD’s post, right?
@msten @Winedavid59 Also Susie Bynum.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark nothing like Blue Jay, eh Rodger?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 roessler. Haven’t seen for some time. Always enjoyed.
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
More Roessler would always be acceptable
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark ah love the Rob Reiner connection. so sad…
clue?
usually this NW Monarch is our white goto. not tonight!
@Winedavid59 King Estates Reds?
Pinot Noir and/or Cab? Maybe a PS thrown in?
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark tonight’s offer? a gem,
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Is there still some Two Jakes of Diamonds still out there after the mystery offer?
@hscottk @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Moonstone has appeared here before.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
This is probably unlikely. Jemrose?
@hscottk @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 We’ve also seen Muscardini Sangiovese, Ruby Grapes Vineyard.
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark good evening. clue? she’s always run the winery with grace. now she’s running it with Grace!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
Is this a Corison Christmas Miracle?
@MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
A melt your plastic miracle
@MarkDaSpark @msten @ScottW58 @Winedavid59 This should be interesting! How many of us to split a case in LA?
@klezman @MarkDaSpark @msten @Winedavid59
Splitting lol, I kid I kid
Good Evening and Merry Christmas!!!
fascinated by this offer, the winemaker and her winery. this CA region is not often represented here.
is “isness” a word? or isn’t it?
@Winedavid59 Is there somebody up in Humboldt? Or, to the other end of things, Temecula?
@klezman @Winedavid59 Ser winery
@CruelMelody @Winedavid59 Oh, of course! She is absolutely doing interesting stuff! And neither far north nor south in CA. Maybe some Enz Vineyard Cabernet Pfeffer is on the way…
@CruelMelody @klezman @Winedavid59
I keep thinking (and hoping) WD hooked Acquiesce!
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@WineDavid59 @Winedavid49
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
On the road.
Pretty sure it’s s of a b
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Good ole standby that would be.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Y Rousseau?
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
@MarkDaSpark good evening. clue? Mountain, Rutherford and Anderson valley. all lengthy estates.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59 Long Meadow Ranch?
@Mark_L @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid59
The clue was definitely more enticing than the answer!
@Winedavid49 @Winedavid59
Last ask of 2025!
@MarkDaSpark thanks for the reminder! this is a weird week for keeping track.
clue? what’s next trout & pine?
@Winedavid59
Cedar + Salmon from 3 Badge Enology winery
And you’ll have most of New Year’s Day to recover! And hopefully remember to start the 2026 Clue thread!
And everyone have a Safe NYE!
