For the former Wine Wooters… I completed the list of Woot Cellars wines that was started and maintained for years by JOATMON but hadn’t been updated since September of 2016 when The Pouracle was released.
35 wines altogether, in order of offer date, starting with 2000 Woot Cellars Rinfrescante and ending with 2015 Woot Cellars Under the Mistletoe.
I don’t care about novelty labels, but what it is in the bottle. My absolute favorite woot wine was D’Ontspille. I know it was a Wellington, and we knew the appellation and clones used, and I assumed it had some David Noyes connections but couldn’t pinpoint the souce(s). It wouldn’t be the same, but I wanted more pinot from that source for a long while.
I have little interest in casements-labeled wines that are the same version of an available wine. The Revelry was a “mini victory” blend from Wellington I couldn’t buy enough of.
I hope the casemates branded wines are unique small lots not available elsewhere. Hit or miss, that uniqueness is worth it to me.
@foxrunner It didn’t live up to its name in the tooth-staining department, but that’s just as well. It was my first woot of any kind, so it has a special place in my heart. The gateway to my online wine-buying.

I have 24 of the 35. Missing 1-9 plus (11) Albino Rhino and (15) Triacipedis & the Mintoaur’s Chalice. Willing to buy or trade to fill in the blanks…
Woot cellars always seemed to be really good values. Would loooove to get some casemates branded wine if it means excellent QPR

@KNmeh7 Yes! And I would add the original Toothstein to this list (of which I have one remaining bottle…)
@KNmeh7 @KzooHiker Hear Hear!
Toothy was great juice if poorly named.
@foxrunner I always thought it was kind of cute.
@InFrom The label is still one of my personal favs. The wine should have been a dark and brooding Petite Syrah to match the imagery.

Triacipedis was so delicious. Well balanced and enjoyable
