It’s not Summer anymore. Back to $5 shipping please (like you couldn’t have just bumped all the prices by two bucks anyhow).
Mill…
Well, looks like my money is safe this week. I think this is only the second winery I’ve seen here @ wine.woot that won’t ship to Vermont.
I have tasted thier Syrah and it was quite good, especially for the price.
Looks like the pinot and meritage (both of which were favorably reviewd on CT) can be picked up at Binny’s here in Chicago…
I’ve had their 2003 Central Coast Cabernet. In my opinion it wasn’t bad for the price. The nose was full of fruit - cherries, blackberries, some smoke and a little oak. It was probably the fruitiest cab I’ve tasted. Lots of cherry and berries, again a little oak. I remember it had a very short dry finish.
For 50 bucks this is a pretty good buy. I’m in.
Regarding the CT info on the 2005 Smith & Hook, I’m not sure I trust the “avg price” of the two entries at $16.50 - it seems low. BevMo sells it for $22.99. When I checked CT’s “other vintages,” 2001-2003, the avg price was around $22, and the ratings were pretty good.
These wines sound interesting. But I, too, am disappointed that the Cab Franc isn’t included – discovered this as a standalone varietal last year and it’s one of my favorite finds now. [edit: I meant Cab Franc in general – I haven’t tried the Hahn wines.]
Love love love the Meritage. One of my favorites for the price. Supplanted the Coppola Claret at that price point for me. Feel comfortable from reading that the Cab is good stuff. A little gun shy on Pinot’s lately and not sure about the Red Flyer. Can anyone comment on these?
mill must have a giant cellar just devoted to wine.woot.
hum… 4 wines for 50 dollars… I m in the market currently for some cheap wines and id say these would fit the bill. I shall think about it. wnemaker come persuade me!
well, it’s still 110 here in phoenix…
but alas, this week’s offer isn’t coming to arizona.
i’d raise the smith & hook to $20, drop the meritage to $11, the red flyer to $6 (its readily available at Trader Joe’s for $5.99). Just to be a lil more precise =P Good job on the price linking tho, rather helpful.
ohhh also, i’ve seen the Tytanium wine at the Wine pavilion in the OC, they had it for 24.99. I see quite a few wine.woots there
yeah i’ve seen that red flyer at TJ’s commonly for about 7 bucks. its one of the better wines for the price. a little spicey if i remember right.
Guessed correctly…but alas DC doesn’t seem to be listed as a permissible state despite the Hahn website saying they do ship to DC.
Bat woot guys, the price isn’t good enough to get me to buy it. If the wines retailed at 65 or 75 I’d have bought them and broke them apart and sued them as gifts but these wines arent that good of wines, hell one of them is nearly a two buck chuck, selling for a mere $7 on average.
Arrrgh… methinks that me FIL’s penchant fer the Hahn libations that he be sharin’ wit me inflooence me a wee bit…
wait a minute, why am I posting in pirate-ese?
I’ve liked the Hahn Cabs that I’ve had at my inlaws in recent weeks. Will wait and see what the maker has to say… it may only take a nudge to topple me off the fence.
Talk like a pirate day is coming! September 19! see
make it a 7 buck chuck
Gosh. Is it true? Our nation’s capital is off the list this week? No wine for me. A little forced frugality, I guess.
Oh, and the Jim Bakker reference went right over my head. Didn’t click at all until this morning. I guess I’m either too old or too young (well, forget the young part).
Still 95+ everyday here in Florida, unless it rains more like 90 with a lot of steam.
It still says $7 shipping for me…it is way to hot in Texas to leave something on the UPS truck all day, so leave it until October, please.
Meritage. I’ll have to be in somehow, but will wait until I’ve finished the bills.
Anyway, the sites:
Hahn Estates
Smith & Hook
Red Flyer
Red Flyer is Flash heavy.
