Looks like we will be seeing Havens for a while.
(From description):
“Now if something like that were to happen, you could probably expect to see a lot of the remaining wine being sold off. In fact, I’d be willing to wager that some wine-related-websites might sell ONLY Havens wine for the rest of the year. So if Merlot or Cabernet weren’t your thing, you could definitely check back in a couple of days for similar deals on different varietals from the same revered vineyard.”
Absolutely love Havens wine! Was so upset when I learned that they were closed for good, and I was thinking that I should have bought more when I had the opportunity . . . and along comes WineDavid with my chance! Thanks, WD, you rock!
If you ever come across the Havens Bourriquot red wine blend, pick some up–you will not be disappointed!
I hope for Woot and WD’s sake that everybody who orders is fully aware that these puppies cannot be shipped for two weeks. For some reason, these wines cannot be shipped until Jan. 4.
K & L Wines (a San Francisco-based wine shop with a huge web presence--www.klwines.com) is selling the '06 Cab for $9.99. According to their website:
“Havens Wine Cellars has apparently run into tough financial times - their inventory is being liquidated. When we were offered this wine at its current price, we immediately started clearing out space in our warehouse.”
Hence the great deal. I don’t think you could get 4 bottles shipped for $5, but just fyi…
Corrado, the cab you linked is napa valley but the wine here is north coast. Is ct wrong or should a new one be created? I don’t see an H north coast cab in ct.
I’m new to Havens wine; on the home page in the “about” blurb it talks about his style being Bordeaux-like with the mineral/earthy flavor profile (i.e. not a fruit-bomb) and it’s in the past tense.
Is that referring to these wines being of old-world style because in the description having references to fruits has me concerned that these are fruit-bombs.
Shipping four bottles to my family in WA from K & L Wines via UPS Ground would cost $12.86. You’re getting a slightly better deal here at woot, and woot can actually ship this to me in TN, which K & L cannot do. I might be in for one, and the late shipping date will make my husband think that I waited a few weeks to purchase anything else from wine.woot!
