Wellington explosion today, eh?
Last wooter to woot: bigbear83
I didn’t think we’d see any more Victory 'round these parts.
Needless to say…
lol
I’m in on that. All the Victory!
I’ve never had the Revely, but I assume it too is good stuff.

Nor have I.
Good discussion from last time here:

The Revelry is quite nice- we picked up this combo earlier this year. You know the Victory is outstanding, and the Revelry is an added woot-based bonus.
Is this the final vintage of victory?
I have to say the love of Wellington here is compelling and why I have bought 24 bottles in the last month.
I have not tried the 2001 Victory bottles I was sent in the mystery pack a few weeks ago. I take it this is the flagship that makes everyone happiest?

That would be a definite yes.

The Revelry is a result of the 2014 rpm woot tour, where various blends were created by wooters and this final blend was voted the winner by those same wooters.
Enjoy!

Yes, but as with the majority of Woot Cellar red wines, vastly improves after a year from the first sale.
From the main page:
In the summer of 2014 the Wellington crew was narrowing in on the final blend for the 2013 Victory. The RPM Tour group had the opportunity to make their own blend (Revelry) from the same components, but with only one day to blend, taste, reblend, and make a decision. I personally tasted the two wines side by side for the first time just this past Monday. We tasted them blind, described them, chose a favorite and guessed what they were. All three of us preferred the Victory, but only two of three guessed which was which. My personal opinion is that the Revelry is currently more open, complex and accessible. The Victory is denser and more concentrated, but a bit simple and closed in at this stage. I’m curious and would really appreciate comments after people receive the wines and have a chance to try them, particularly any side by side tastings. Please be aware that both of these wines are relative infants and should continue to develop for several more years.

Such a great write up!
Not library victory but still in for 3! We haven’t opened a 2013 Victory yet, but did pop a Revelry a few months ago. It was very good but still a baby. These 6 bottles are going in off site storage for a few years. Thanks Peter!!
First time Revelry up: Oct. 27, 2015 (discussion thread)
So they should be drinking nicely!
Edit: Or in 6 more months! (See knlprez’s post just above)
I’m sad I missed the large bottles! :wah:
Rats and double rats. Got my order in, but it was declined. So I ordered again and it went through. And I got confirmation that the first order went through, too. So I now have two orders coming. Yay!!
Unfortunately, I no longer live at the address on record, so wine is going to the wrong place. I need to either get wine rerouted (preferred) or cancelled (unfortunate). I have sent email to support with a new address, but…

Try changing it on Amazon now. Maybe when it ships, it will pick up the new, correct address.
Although, IIRC, you need to order something for the new address to be seen here.

Might be able to reroute with FedEx as well.
