@CorTot@InFrom@rjquillin
Definitely think it’s some kind of Rose based on the weather related comment. Not sure why CorTot jumped on Ped so quickly, maybe their 2018 Rose was just released? As RJ implies, the “like” from WD usually indicates a correct guess.
@chipgreen@CorTot@rjquillin Well, maybe he was just liking the Rose part, that’s my theory. And you have to admit, it would be a really fast turnaround!
@Winedavid49 St. Julian Winery Head Games
Native Flora First Time Pinot Noir
Revolution Brewing Juke Box Hero, oops, that’s a beer
Barton Family Winery Hot Blooded
I didn’t see any listed under Deals on Casemates, nor remember any except on WW, but the “Favorite” could pertain only to Winesmith and the Ah-So towards the FC.
@karenhynes@Winedavid49 Mathis was Ravenswood, too, wasn’t he? Maybe somebody else related to Joel Peterson? Once & Future would be great, but I seriously doubt that’s happening. Ditto Bedrock.
Peter Mathis also said this is his “old school” project, so I wonder if he’s got a new one going. I couldn’t find anything obvious about it.
@radiolysis
That was actually my first thought…but I couldn’t think of who would be a modern version of Johnny Mathis (and I had to run to meet a friend for dinner). Josh Groban? Michael Bublé?
Josh Groban had a pinot for charity with Halleck a while back, but they’ve been here before.
@InFrom@MarkDaSpark@Winedavid49
Nice find indeed and being a one-day offer that sometimes means limited quantities I decided to shoot first and ask for Casemates later!
@Winedavid49
That’s a tough one… Primrose = primus vulgaris. A search for Primus wine turns up a foreign producer but also somehow brings up the Leviathan red blend.
I really don’t have a good guess so I’ll go with the Leviathan.
@Winedavid49
Ha! And here I mentioned just yesterday that the first instinct is often the best and my first thought tonight was Primrose Lane before I started getting cute looking up botanical info on primroses.
Another (lesser) possibility is Falkner Winery in Temecula. Tim Duncan was generally recognized as the #1 Power Forward. Falkner Winery’s winemaker is Duncan William’s.
3 of their 2015 wines were 90-pt rated by Wine Enthusiast, with 5 previous wines 90 plus points.
@karenhynes@Winedavid49 Thanks, WD! BTW, I’m serious about that Alysian SB, that one was real popular around these parts. The case is almost gone. If there’s any more left, let’s have an encore!
SH’s Superhero label on the InZinerator were banned as well for being thought “targeted to underage drinkers”, IIRC. Because you know, Super Hero images on wine labels are the primary consideration for underage drinking.
@Winedavid49
Buoncristiani?
I shall continue pondering while sitting in my favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant with my salad and chicken cacciatore.
@chipgreen@Winedavid49@karenhynes
compass points; good and likely clue.
If it weren’t for the ‘summer’ comment, I could go with Fossil Point.
For no good reason at all, I could hope for some Anne Amie.
@InFrom@rjquillin@Winedavid49
Ironically, I don’t get the emails. I think because one time I ordered from Clark’s website and paid with PayPal using a PP specific email address. Then all email from WineSmith (including emails about rat bottles) started going to that address which I do not really monitor. I made a comment about it after missing a delivery and ever since then I am alerted to rat bottles via my preferred email address but the offer preview emails have ceased entirely. Weird…
You don’t tug on superwoman’s cape
You don’t spit the wine out
You don’t pull the cork off that old wine bottle
And you don’t mess around with karenhynes!
Oh man, I’m on day 1 on a trip London/ Ireland. I’m all bassackwards. Will have it together by next clue timing… so much for being an effective international man of mystery!
@Winedavid49 Well, there’s always Antica Townsend Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, named for June Townsend, who sold the vineyard. (Sounds like Townshend.)
Pedroncelli rose
@CorTot
With a like from WD, seems like a rosy guess.
@CorTot @rjquillin I’m going for the Apriori rose.
@CorTot @InFrom @rjquillin
Definitely think it’s some kind of Rose based on the weather related comment. Not sure why CorTot jumped on Ped so quickly, maybe their 2018 Rose was just released? As RJ implies, the “like” from WD usually indicates a correct guess.
@CorTot @InFrom @rjquillin
Noooo…I’m too weak.
@chipgreen @CorTot @rjquillin Well, maybe he was just liking the Rose part, that’s my theory. And you have to admit, it would be a really fast turnaround!
@chipgreen @CorTot @InFrom
We just got the Ped mixed case not long ago.
At least, I just found mine.
@karenhynes
Aha! A new thread is your Kryptonite!
@MarkDaSpark many things are my kryptonite!
@CorTot
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
@CorTot @rjquillin @karenhynes
I called it first! Last Thursday!
Or WineSmith…we know he has offers in the wings.
new clue? this repeat can be blamed on a last second pull out from a new winery partner. Savvy?
@Winedavid49
Urgency Cabernet Sauvignon by Shannon Ridge?
Offered August 2018
@Winedavid49
Is Pedroncelli Italian for savvy??
@Winedavid49
Apriori offer?
@Winedavid49 I want to know who pulled out!
@klezman @Winedavid49
Agreed!
@Winedavid49 Savvygnon Blanc? I just got my order of Alysian this afternoon.
@InFrom @Winedavid49
Or a Cabernet Savvygnon?
@klezman hah, nah, we probably moved on them too quick. Need to handle newbies with kid gloves.
@klezman @Winedavid49 Are you implying we may be a bit abrupt with newbies?
Ok, perhaps, when they only feed us a pile of marketing drivel.
@klezman @rjquillin @Winedavid49 I think he was talking about before we even see the wine.
@InFrom @klezman @Winedavid49
Yes, of course, but we can be harsh to pablum as well.
@klezman cant figure out how to PM. Anyway, we are in Los Olivos in case you need a Tercero pick up.
next clue? wasn’t it part of a Foreigner song?
@Winedavid49
Urgency?
@Winedavid49
Woodinville Cellars Double Vision?
@Winedavid49 St. Julian Winery Head Games
Native Flora First Time Pinot Noir
Revolution Brewing Juke Box Hero, oops, that’s a beer
Barton Family Winery Hot Blooded
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Well, so much for Kryptonite!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark love it!
new clue? your going to need an Ah-So to access this casemates favorite. but it will be worth the effort.
@Winedavid49
Laurel Glen Library Cabernet Sauvignon
@Winedavid49
Or more WineSmith 2010 Cabernet Franc ?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I vote for the WineSmith Cab Franc.
@danandlisa @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Or the WineSmith Faux Chablis?
@danandlisa @karenhynes @Winedavid49
How old was the Faux Chablis? Ah-So indicates aged wines. And is there any left?
@danandlisa @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
I agree with the Faux Chablis, those corks crumble consistently. I have an ah-so around here somewhere…
@danandlisa @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
We have been offered 2003 thru 2005 at least during my WW/CM tenure. So, maybe a 2006 now or the last of the 2005s?
@chipgreen @danandlisa @karenhynes @Winedavid49
I didn’t see any listed under Deals on Casemates, nor remember any except on WW, but the “Favorite” could pertain only to Winesmith and the Ah-So towards the FC.
@MarkDaSpark
You’re right we have not been offered Faux Chablis on Casemates. The 2003, 2004s and 2005s in my cellar were all from wine.woot.
Casemates WineSmith offers so far;
2014 WineSmith Grenache
2010 WineSmith Cabernet Franc
2013 WineSmith Cellars Meritage
2008 WineSmith Cellars Pinot Noir
2013 WineSmith Cabernet Sauvignon
None of you I’m afraid are close to home
@Winedavid49 old Clayhouse?
@Winedavid49.
I would say the 2008 Whitehall Lane Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, but that had a glass stopper. No need for an Ah-So.
@Winedavid49
Moran Manor?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 yeah. We did get that '07 before
@Winedavid49
I hate this clue mostly because it makes it sound like something I’m gonna want and I’m supposed to be cutting back.
@Winedavid49
Broken Earth PULL CdR Red Blend.
(Evidently there’s a Chinese sauce also called Ah-So). Thinking Broken Earth = Good Earth (novel about China) but “home” (as in here in the USA).
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Even worse if it’s an Iron Horse Chinese Cuvee!
@chipgreen @Winedavid49.
And we have a new winner!
“Each order will receive 1 Casemates Ah-So Wine Bottle Opener”
Sneaky!
@chipgreen good work!
New clue? Agrarian Lance.
@Winedavid49
Peirano Estate wines
@Winedavid49
Or Cutler Cellars?
@Winedavid49
Bahahahaha! Lance Farmstrong!
WD is killing me with the clues lately.
new clue?
connected to 40,41 and 43
@Winedavid49 Reagan served Iron Horse at the White House. I think subsequent presidents continued to do so…
Reagan and the two Bushes? Can’t wait to find out the connection!
@InFrom A winery in Cheney, WA?
wow, I thought there’d be a dozen guesses by now.
@Winedavid49
Are you saying it’s not Irom Horse?
Because we thought klez nailed it.
@Winedavid49
Expression Pinot Noir?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49
I’m with Chip on this one.
@chipgreen @Winedavid49
Or Latitude 42?
Note to self , don’t give clue where a false guess is a casemates favorite…
@Winedavid49
Lucy!
Btw, james baker served Reagan and both bushes …
@Winedavid49 Hey, that was a solid clue. Lots of confounding possibilities!
tonight’s clue? new generation Mathis?
@Winedavid49
Well, Mathis Vineyard/Mathis Wine seems a bit too obvious. I’ll keep thinking.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Mathis was Ravenswood, too, wasn’t he? Maybe somebody else related to Joel Peterson? Once & Future would be great, but I seriously doubt that’s happening. Ditto Bedrock.
Peter Mathis also said this is his “old school” project, so I wonder if he’s got a new one going. I couldn’t find anything obvious about it.
@karenhynes @klezman @Winedavid49
I’ve been sworn to secrecy but I can’t see anyone pulling this one out of a hat (no, that is not a clue!).
I will give a small hint though… pretty sure this producer is a first-timer to the Casemates/Winewoot community.
I am really liking this wine! My so-called SIWBM may be taking another shot to the bow this evening (also not a clue!).
As an aside, I would love to see a Bedrock offer sometime…
And I go to Johnny Mathis. so some new crooner?
@radiolysis
That was actually my first thought…but I couldn’t think of who would be a modern version of Johnny Mathis (and I had to run to meet a friend for dinner). Josh Groban? Michael Bublé?
Josh Groban had a pinot for charity with Halleck a while back, but they’ve been here before.
Bublé = bubbly?
@Winedavid49
I was also thinking of Johnny Mathis.
One possibilty: Wildhurst Vineyards in Lake County. Winemaker Banyon Kirkendall (there is a Kirkendahl that does a tribute to Johnny Mathis).
Of course, I can always hope that it will be Aaron Wines (Petite Sirah) out of Paso! ❤❤
Chances are, nobody’s coming up with the answer in the next 12 minutes.
@InFrom
Well, it would have been handy to have another hint from @Winedavid49 or @chipgreen!
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Sometimes it’s best to go with that first instinct. Karen was on the right track initially…
@chipgreen @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 That was supposed to be a Johnny Mathis joke…
@chipgreen @InFrom @MarkDaSpark that was a bit obscure. Btw, this is a find.
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
My ignorance wears a silly grin
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Nice find indeed and being a one-day offer that sometimes means limited quantities I decided to shoot first and ask for Casemates later!
Water mill?
ok, writers block on a clue tonight. any takers?? whisper me.
@Winedavid49
I’m out to dinner and on bottle number four, so I’ll let someone else do the plotting.
Okay here goes. Primrose
@Winedavid49
That’s a tough one… Primrose = primus vulgaris. A search for Primus wine turns up a foreign producer but also somehow brings up the Leviathan red blend.
I really don’t have a good guess so I’ll go with the Leviathan.
@chipgreen @Winedavid49
I sense a rosé. Though I’m probably wrong…just home from dinner…no time to search.
@Winedavid49
Ha! And here I mentioned just yesterday that the first instinct is often the best and my first thought tonight was Primrose Lane before I started getting cute looking up botanical info on primroses.
@mediocrebot
ROFLMAO
Happy Sunday. New clue?
A drink now repeat that’s holding up nicely from up north.
@Winedavid49
King Estate, North by Northwest. Several varietals have been offered; Riesling, Chardonnay, rose.
@pseudogourmet98 @Winedavid49 I’ll take a case of that drink-now Rose, thanks.
Clue tonight?
It’s not a leap.
@Winedavid49
Bridge 1904?
@Winedavid49
Stag Hollow?
St Hubert’s North Coast CS “The Stag”?
Again I should have followed my first instinct. When I saw the clue, I almost posted “Well, we know it’s not Frog’s Leap”…
Clue for Friday?
Taking a page from @karenhynes. Iron Horse?
@MarkDaSpark
Tonight’s clue?
not sure, but i will be enjoying the NBA playoff games. I"ve always been more of a forward myself.
@Winedavid49
Forward Kidd is my too obvious to be correct guess. Appears to have been produced by Merryvale as a second label or one-off blend?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49
Possibly.
Another (lesser) possibility is Falkner Winery in Temecula. Tim Duncan was generally recognized as the #1 Power Forward. Falkner Winery’s winemaker is Duncan William’s.
3 of their 2015 wines were 90-pt rated by Wine Enthusiast, with 5 previous wines 90 plus points.
@Winedavid49
How about Little Vineyards Center Stage?
https://www.sonomanews.com/sports/9531045-181/upset-winner-in-jack-benny
@Winedavid49
Congrats on the big upset W!
@Winedavid49
Wait a minute … we’re buying wine from someone who’s NOT the Team Captain? I’m outta here!
/youtube
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Ha! Classic…
@Winedavid49
Well done indeed!
Looks like you tower over competition and teammates as well,
standing tall in the back row.
Ah, but a closer look will show my most proud part of this enjoyable hoops run.
@Winedavid49
Ah, your most proud part must be your lovely teammate, Annie. Might we be due some Annie Amie?
@Winedavid49
Yes, of course. Why was I thinking WineFarm…?
Yea, the only 24 year old woman tearing it up in an over 39 men’s league.
Kudos to her and a forward thinking league. You should see our pick n roll.
@Winedavid49
Doh! We weren’t thinking obvious enough!
@Winedavid49. Tick tock!
Clue? Ed Rooney’s phone call.
@Winedavid49
Buehler?..Buehler?
@Winedavid49 primrose?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 my thoughts as well
Peterson winery?
@suzanne17 that’s good work!
Cameron Winery?
Pardon the delay. Open the onslaught of guesses
@Winedavid49
Barrage Cellars?
@Winedavid49
Slingshot?
@Winedavid49 Didn’t we have a Hesitation something…?
GLM Wine Co, Deluge?
Hmm… A nice Rose, maybe?
Alysian, where have I heard of that?
(And when can I get some more?)
@InFrom Well done!
@InFrom
Nice call!
@karenhynes your Deluge led me there.
Hope it’s as good as the Alysian. Rosé weather is upon us. There’s nothing about it in CT.
@InFrom @karenhynes Bravo!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Thanks, WD! BTW, I’m serious about that Alysian SB, that one was real popular around these parts. The case is almost gone. If there’s any more left, let’s have an encore!
@Winedavid49. No clue tonight? Less than 2 hours to go? Iron Horse!
Clue? Strictly not allowed !
@Winedavid49 Forbidden? Is that a winery?
@klezman @Winedavid49
There’s a Tabu Malbec.
Something about Prohibition is striking me. Either a winery that made it through (Concannon, etc) or with Prohibition in the name.
@radiolysis
Big House Wines Prohibition Red. Comes in a 3L box!
@radiolysis @Winedavid49
Hope it’s not Big House Wines Prohibition box wine!
And @karenhynes beat me by a minute!
@karenhynes great for parties!
@Winedavid49
Some other international choices:
Friedrich Becker Verbotene
Forbidden Vines
Schieber Winery - TABU / TABOO
Contraband (Australia)
Contraband Sparkling (Canada)
Soooo many possibilities.
Where’s @MarkDaSpark?
Who’s labels were banned in some of the more conservative states? Swilly?
My brain is too tired to recall.
@karenhynes
Ooh, ooh … Scott Harvey’s Superhero wine label was banned in a Southern state. Tennessee?
@MarkDaSpark
Yeah, that. Inzinerator?
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark
North Carolina
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark
Alabama, iirc.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin
That was the Cycles Gladiator Banned in 'Bama Cuvee.
@karenhynes. Yes.
@chipgreen @karenhynes @rjquillin
SH’s Superhero label on the InZinerator were banned as well for being thought “targeted to underage drinkers”, IIRC. Because you know, Super Hero images on wine labels are the primary consideration for underage drinking.
@chipgreen @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin that’s a great guess.
This man needs no introduction.
@Winedavid49
Strange guess…Artesa?
@Winedavid49
Or Swilly?!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Could have been Clark, but we know better…
But, which Swilly?
@karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Who is the other Swilly?
@chipgreen @rjquillin @Winedavid49
There is only one Swilly. He broke the mold!
evening clue?
@Winedavid49
Slingshot Cab?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 Nice call!
clue tonight? i bet there will be an accompanied video like they’ve done in the past.
@Winedavid49
People’s Wine Revolution?
Hmmmm…Clark does videos.
Meadowcroft has done some videos. I’m in if it’s their pinot.
Scott Harvey? Doesn’t he do videos?
@Turner103200
Apparently there have been a lot of videos.
I sure could use some zin, just finished my last bottle of Inzinerator 2012 from the WW days.
Doh! I almost added Onesta to my list up there…but I got distracted.
Double Doh! Forgot I was in another Time Zone and missed looking!
Not a good clue tonight (warriors game) , but this wine is grande’
@Winedavid49
I got nothing…Vincent Arroyo?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 You gotta be kidding me! How do you do that?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
/giphy whisky-tango-foxtrot
you hack wd?
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 @InFrom
My mind is a very scary place.
@InFrom @karenhynes @rjquillin
The ken Jennings of clue guessing!
clue?
Italian inspired.
@Winedavid49 Noceto? Pavi?
@Winedavid49
Buoncristiani?
I shall continue pondering while sitting in my favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant with my salad and chicken cacciatore.
@Winedavid49
J Dusi?
@Winedavid49
Vino Noceto or Seghesio
@karenhynes
The restaurant with the your hot young date on the wall?? Karenhynes doing it right
@ScottW58
Ah yes! Mr April is soooo last month. Next week I will try to remember to snag a pic of Mr May, before he retires.
I’m hoping for one of my woot favorites Giornata
This offer points to a repeat Just too good not to offer. Not with summer coming.
@Winedavid49
North x Northwest?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 @karenhynes
compass points; good and likely clue.
If it weren’t for the ‘summer’ comment, I could go with Fossil Point.
For no good reason at all, I could hope for some Anne Amie.
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 huzzah!
@winedavid49
A clue?
No need for one tonight…
@rjquillin yea, hard to keep this guy quiet. he’s such a fan of you Casemates folk.
@rjquillin @Winedavid49 I saw this and thought, whinily, “I didn’t get an email from Clark”, then I re-checked, and there it was. Like clockwork!
@InFrom @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Ironically, I don’t get the emails. I think because one time I ordered from Clark’s website and paid with PayPal using a PP specific email address. Then all email from WineSmith (including emails about rat bottles) started going to that address which I do not really monitor. I made a comment about it after missing a delivery and ever since then I am alerted to rat bottles via my preferred email address but the offer preview emails have ceased entirely. Weird…
@chipgreen @InFrom @rjquillin one comment to clark and that will be remedied.
clark is a tough act to follow. But i like this small “yorky” winery. 2500 ft elevation?
@Winedavid49
Shannon Ridge
@Winedavid49 Yorkville Highlands? Could this somehow be a Halcon offer?
@klezman @Winedavid49
Or just Yorkville Cellars
@klezman @Winedavid49 ding ding ding ding!
At least for the producer.
@klezman @Winedavid49
Good job, klez!
@klezman @Winedavid49
Nice call!
@chipgreen @klezman impressive!!
new clue?
hard not to keep coming back to pristine late ripening Walla Walla estate Juice.
@Winedavid49
Amavi?
@Winedavid49 WASHINGTON HILLS > LATE HARVEST RIESLING
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
With a +1 from WD, do we even need to continue?
@CorTot @Winedavid49 glad you’re wrong!
@CorTot @klezman @Winedavid49 @karenhynes
You don’t tug on superwoman’s cape
You don’t spit the wine out
You don’t pull the cork off that old wine bottle
And you don’t mess around with karenhynes!
Well, I guess it is a holiday.
@Winedavid49 #NoHolidayClueSadness
yea, my daughter was giving me grief about not getting a clue out…
@Winedavid49
More Anne Amie Vineyards?
@MarkDaSpark @karenhynes @Winedavid49
My first guess as well.
That should jinx it.
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Sparky beat me to it.
@karenhynes @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Timing is everything! Got lucky in checking just a few minutes after WD posted.
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin i know, i’m starting to get predictable… :-0
Well done Sparky!
@karenhynes
Is there a clue for tomorrow’s wine?
@ejrunion
There is when @Winedavid49 puts his thinking cap on!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 I’m all suspense!
@ejrunion @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Did he finally outsource it to @karenhynes ?
@ejrunion @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Nope.
@ejrunion @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
Iron horse
Kent Rasmussen
@ejrunion @jml326 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
You need to throw in one more, someplace that’s been on here recently. That will about cover the possibilities.
@InFrom @jml326 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49 Given karenhynes’s recent track record, I think she should just guess with no clues!
@ejrunion @InFrom @jml326 @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
OK…I could go for some more of those Meadowcroft Pinots…
@ejrunion @jml326 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Joy!
Petite Syrah
I one up you with some Corison Sunbasket, or Kronos.
Don’t we wish…
@ejrunion @InFrom @jml326 @karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @rjquillin she just might. just offered a bad clue.
Crap, kid duty, then the phone ran out of juice, then temperamental salmon on the grill… and now we are here. more like a lamb today… Amador even.
@Winedavid49
Blacksheep Winery?
@Winedavid49
Amador Cellars?
@Winedavid49
Leoni?
@catcoland @Winedavid49 in like a leoni, out like a lamb
@catcoland @Winedavid49
Nice call!
Good evening. go Warriors (Toronto can’t buy wine here!). on to the clue. Sticking to the region for something big!
@Winedavid49
Iron Horse!
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Hey, that’s my line!
@Winedavid49 HEY! You take that back! GO RAPTORS!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Well, wasn’t sure you were around!
@klezman @Winedavid49
Yes, Go far, far away!
@Winedavid49
So, depending on region:
Napa/Sonoma: Scott Harvey Eis Wine
Niagara: Peller Estates Canadian Icewine
New York: Hunt Country Vidal Blanc Ice Wine
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Craving something sweet?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
He did say “sticking”. And Toronto is close to the Niagara wine region. Known for their Ice wines.
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Indeed.
He also like the occasional play on words. Perhaps something “big” from Little Vineyards?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Could be. Or Mondo Cellars in Paso?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 Game 1 for the good guys!
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Or big as in Big bottles! Doh!
1 point for Scott Harvey, -10 points for missing the “big” aspect.
@klezman @MarkDaSpark they looked damn good
@Winedavid49
I know! And I missed out while waiting for Amex payment to clear before I could order!
When I hear “big” around here I think the Spaniards. You know it takes two hands to just hold the bottle, or 6 fingers?
@ScottW58
I was thinking another Amador County offer but Calaveras County is also in the Sierra Foothills region, so I’m going with you on this one!
Hopefully, @Winedavid49 won’t forget to post a clue this time (like their last offer)!
Not trying to pull a fast one on y’all!
@Winedavid49
So you’re pulling a slow one?
@Winedavid49
Whitman Express?
@chipgreen @Winedavid49 Con(n) Valley…nice
Go Fresno state!
Clue? Blue or blood?
@Winedavid49
Valley of the Moon?
Harvest Moon?
@karenhynes @Winedavid49
Probably Harvest Moon offer, as you said.
Or a return of Haywood Estate Winery (on old Wine.Woot), a Moon Mountain AVA.
Evidently, @winedavid49 is still mourning the Bulldogs loss.
With only 13 minutes to the new offer, waiting on @karenhynes to guess Iron Horse!
@MarkDaSpark
Iron Horse!
…but my new campaign is Meadowcroft Pinot Noir!
@karenhynes. Po-tay-toe … Po-ta-toe.
Ok, next time I will say Meadowcraft!
Ok , yes I’m still in morning. But that’s no excuse. I swear I thought I posted it!! So my bad!
@Winedavid49 That excuse won’t work tonight!
thanks for the nudge. actually this small lot wine should have been on today if the timing (and limited case amount) hadn’t proven a day off.
@Winedavid49
Buena Vista 6-6-44
@pseudogourmet98 @Winedavid49
Interesting. But it’s sold out online…unless WD procured the last of it?
@pseudogourmet98 @Winedavid49
Benovia also has a commemorative release.
i should probably say “type” of wine.
@Winedavid49
Hmm, National Rose day isn’t until Saturday and the Friday offers are one day only, so… I’m stumped!
@Winedavid49 actually, i should say region.
@Winedavid49
Normandy?
@Winedavid49
Parducci Small Lot Rosé
@Winedavid49
Or Raymond Vineyards Small Lot Collection Pinot Noir Rosé
My guess for tomorrow is a Rosé. If it’s not, it’s a fail.
@winedavid49
@pseudogourmet98 C’mon, how much imagination does it take to sell Rosé on Rosé Day? This is a guy who always has a trick up his sleeve!
@InFrom @pseudogourmet98
A Petite Sirah Rosè! That’s what!
@InFrom @MarkDaSpark @pseudogourmet98
@karenhynes @MarkDaSpark @pseudogourmet98 Eureka, I think he’s found it!
Yes, we are sure this wine will allure and endure and be gone in a blur and no it’s not Raymond Burr.
@Winedavid49
I know! Allure Sparkling Pink Moscato!
@Winedavid49
Stoller Family Estates PN Rosè
Melissa Burr is the winemaker.
@WineDavid49
I’ts that time to feed the 'mates a clue.
@rjquillin @winedavid49
I can paint that lumber for $99.95! I hunger to help and won’t play games with your tribute!
District 7 in Hunger Games produced lumber, and Earl Scheib ( sounds like Al Scheid) painted cars.
Or would that have been too obvious a clue?
@MarkDaSpark @rjquillin @Winedavid49
No ups, no extras!
Meadowcraft Pinot Noir!
@MarkDaSpark
Oh man, I’m on day 1 on a trip London/ Ireland. I’m all bassackwards. Will have it together by next clue timing… so much for being an effective international man of mystery!
@Winedavid49 Going to bring back some English bubbly for us?!
@Winedavid49. As long as you remember in the next 2 hours! Less than 5.5 hours til new offer!
Clue? I bet she sure played a mean pin ball.
@Winedavid49
Hmm, another Anderson Family Conn Valley offer?
(Lyn Todd covered Who’s Pinball Wizard. Todd Anderson is winemaker)
@Winedavid49
Unless WD followed up on the Merry Edwards comment in the April Apriori Pinot Noir thread?
She’s one of the top female winemakers.
@Winedavid49 I must be very literal-minded, I keep thinking there must be a deaf, dumb, and blind winemaker out there.
@Winedavid49 Well, there’s always Antica Townsend Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, named for June Townsend, who sold the vineyard. (Sounds like Townshend.)
@InFrom @Winedavid49
I’m thinking you’re on to something. Perhaps take a closer “look” at the clue.
@karenhynes @Winedavid49 Ya know… I thought in these PC times, Helen Keller jokes were out, but I thought wrong!
@InFrom @Winedavid49
Nothing’s off limits here!
Well…maybe not “nothing”.
Could we even fathom (Cathy) Corison?
I’m thinking WD is sound asleep. It’s 4am in London.
Top of the evening to you!
Clue?
Greg’s Domestic.
@Winedavid49 You’re up late.
Just get back from a pub crawl?
@rjquillin yup. Contemplating staying up for warrior game!
@Winedavid49 Greg Norman has some California wines (as well as Australia, New Zealand and Argentina).
Surprised @Winedavid49 hasn’t popped in with a clue yet, since he’s on Europe time!
Meadowcraft Pinot Noir!
Crap. Can’t even blame it on the Guinness tour!
@Winedavid49 Jameson tour maybe?
@Winedavid49 So is today’s excuse going to be epic?
@MarkDaSpark look at the hand Markdaspark!
@Winedavid49
A return of Meeker Handprint Merlot?
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49 gotta be a manos the hands of fate wine
@MarkDaSpark @Winedavid49
Silver Palm?
@Winedavid49
two hands, or 14 hands?
@CorTot @Winedavid49.
@Winedavid49
Poker hand? JAQK Cellars?
Well, I got the Meeker part right! WD just threw a curveball with their Zin.
@Winedavid49. Tick tock, tick tock, 4 and 1/2 hours left!
