For those interested, a group of us Wine.Wooters went on a Historical Tour of Napa/Sonoma last year, and there are pictures of us walking through the Pedroncelli vineyards. First 28 pictures in this photo album. Jim Pedroncelli, owner and California wine pioneer, is in the blue shirt in the pictures.

There is at least 2 of us!!!
Laid off last week…birthday yesterday…birthday code needs to be used by the 30th…
In for one. 
I totally agree with the others, I don’t remember who, about the photo. Photo shows the syrah, circa 2005.
PS 2006
Syrah 2005
2x Zinfandels 2006
Rose 2007
shrug The only difference this would make for me is that I know that Pedroncelli was clearancing their 2003 Syrah a few weeks ago at $8 a bottle. I’m still in for one, regardless.

I was debating saying anything about that. Oh well, for the Pedroncelli fans in general, check the deals thread in the world of woot section for some additional deals. Those are good through 6/30/09.
They are different wines so they don’t really take away from the deal here at wine.woot.
Damn I’ve been so good at not buying anymore for quite awhile but couldn’t pass this up. In for 2.

I’m sure it’ll be quite awesome, especially if it is your first. I tried the Sangio from Mandolina in a pasta sauce when I was having that…heavenly. I’m intent on having Sangio for my red sauces in the future.
[QUOTE=Pixiedoodle11, post:13, topic:226982]
Photo shows a syrah, descrip shows sangi. Both are excellent (though I’m a dedicated syrah fan) but curious which is the mistake?
[/quote]
UH-OH…who packed the wine for the photo shoot???
[QUOTE=funchucky, post:7, topic:226982]
mmmm…Pedroncelli

couldn’t agree more!

Wise choice…it is by no accident that Italian cuisine is classically paired with a fine Chianti. Sangio and tomato sauce are palate soul mates…bella!

It’s Sangiovese!!! Not sure how the Syrah made it into the photo-shoot package.

Had a bottle at lunch today–Administrative Proffesionals Day–good reason to have a bottle of Sangiovese! Drinking really well, especially with a Chicken Panino with avocado, pesto, applewood bacon on a foccacia roll with a side of chic pea salad with pickled daikon…YUM!

I knew it was classic…I just wasn’t sure how classic it would be with cheap store-bought sauce and meat. It worked out well enough(in the sauce, it should be noted), that like I said, I plan on doing it again in the future.

Hi Ed. Welcome back.
I went in on 2 sets of this on their last offering. I still have a few bottles left.
I didnt take many notes, but as far as I remember, these are great everyday drinkers.
I really liked the mother clone zin, and the merlot wasnt to shabby either. Ill have to go look at my cellar and see if I have room for these
I saw.
I clicked.
I’m not sure if it is possible to state “Great QPR” too many times in the next few days.
I’ll note that there were folks who have not found this winery to their taste on previous offerings. It is really California Traditional wine. These wines need to be paired with a meal. Not cheese and cracker wines. Nor late night by the fire with a Joseph Conrad novel and a pipe of “Old Gumboot.”
These are spaghetti, grilled brats, pot roast, potato salad wines. These wines drink well poured in a tumbler. Easy picnic choices.
