My understanding was there wasn’t enough for a daily deal…not sure what the haps is, but apparently it didn’t happen…bummer as WS is making some good juice IMHO.
I think I have you to blame (well thank actually) for pushing me into the Wellington white mixed case last time around. The wife and I are not white fans, but overall enjoyed the mixed case. It was a nice change of pace for us, and overall we’ve been enjoying these whites.
We’ve opened the Riesling and chard.
Here are the notes on the Riesling;
7/7/2013
Muted yellow color, fridge temp leads to little on the nose except a mild apple. On the tongue it’s very tart and the flavor is almost like apple juice. The bit of sweetness bites in the finish which really seems to linger. Not one of my favorites but nice at the discounted woot price.
No notes on the chard as it was consumed by my parents before I could get a drop.
I’ll wear the “enabler” badge with honor. I mostly did reds too, except for those butter/oak bomb chards in the 70’s. It’s only been the past couple years I’ve begun to appreciate well made white and rosé, and Peter does an admirable job indeed, at a fair price.
Also not a big white drinker but new house will have a wonderful patio for evening relaxation, and some cool white should be a nice treat on a hot, humid Texas evening.
As I think you should wear the badge with honor. My wife and I enjoyed a bottle of the Roussanne last night. I’ve been quite pleased by the overall quality of the Wellington brand for a fair price. I think this was my fourth Wellington related woot.
