Below post was taken from todays woot of the day. If you haven’t caught this before, woot sells one item a daty until sold out or a new item is sold for the next day. They usually have great prices and they always have good writers who will make the good parts shine and make fun of the bad parts. A couple weeks ago I ran acrossed the fact that if you click on the woot.com logo a second time to refresh the front page, it switched to wine.woot.com, which sold wine. So far for pretty decent prices. Obviously wanting to emphasize the wine sales a bit more, they moved a selection of St. Supery’s best to today’s woot. I have to say it’s a pretty good wine (my opinion) so for a teaser to look into wine.woot.com… it works. The sad thing… it was for a woot off and it’s already changed (A woot off is they sell items only for a short period and then switch to a new item.) And in writing a post I missed a bag of crap and a chance for a real cheap 1 gig USB thumb drive (in a nice leather cover).
Sigh. OK, well, the crybabies who work for wine.woot.com have thrown a hissyfit about missing all the Woot-Off fun, so after he finshed changing their diapers, our boss said we have to include something here about them. Why can’t you, like, get your own lives? We’ve been here for almost two years now and you wine dorks come along and three weeks later it’s all “Oh, heavens, we can’t hurt the poor wine guys’ precious feelings! We have to let the little darlings do whatever they want in the Woot-Off!” What a bunch of prima donnas. And all they have to do is find one deal a week! Nice work if you can get it, huh?
Don’t get us wrong – there’s nothing wrong with the wine itself. You’ll get two bottles apiece of Cabernet Sauvignon (black fruit and anise flavors with a well-balanced finish) and Merlot (a smooth, raspberry-flavored vintage with cherry and sweet herb aromas). Both spring from the noble vines of the award-winning St. Supéry vineyards, set heroically amid the slopes of Napa Valley. This was a very popular choice for the first offering on wine.woot.com a few weeks back. It’s not the wine’s fault that the guys who run that site are such stuck-up idiots.
And we’re supposed to tell you, as if you don’t already know, to visit wine.woot.com for a new wine deal every week, and that the wines are drawn from some of the most acclaimed wineries in Northern California and thereabouts, and you can always get there by clicking the Woot logo above, and vice versa, blah blah blah. Is that everything, masters? Sure you wouldn’t like a foot rub or a cocktail or something? Jerks.
Oh, yeah, then there’s another bit we have to squeeze in somewhere: woot.com is not the seller of record in this transaction. We are simply facilitating the connection between St. Supéry and the consumer. There, we said it. Happy, pinheads? It’s always something with you people. Can we have our Woot-Off back now?
