Did anybody get the Wine Library email about this? It looks like Gary V. is setting up a site to compete with WTSO! They will sell a different wine every day..... sound familiar.
It goes live on October 6th. Hmmmm.

The midnight thing makes it useless for me. I'll be in bed when the email comes out. People on the west coast will get it at 9:00. If the deal is that good, the wine will be gone by the time I see it in the morning.

Want me to just buy a couple bottles each evening for you, Bruce?

Aren't you just watching Conan at midnight? Conan - order from Gary - sleep.

Sounds good to me. I appreciate your generosity.

My wife likes to go to bed early. I don't even get to stay up for Leno, let alone Conan.

I took the bait. The last bottle of Argiano I bought was $88!!
Even a light vintage with a 90 rating is worth twenty bucks!
I like it so far.

No offense intended, Gary, but I have to ask. Is this offer not actually targeted at your core audience, but more folks like the geeks like us? It seems to me that your core customer base is not exactly a traditionally styled, pricey Barolo crowd.
Obviously you sell tons of Bordeaux, and likely Burgundy, and Barolo (among everything else). Anyway, I LOVE this deal - I'm quite excited about it and picked up 2 bottles (wish I could have picked up more) - and I'm happy to see you putting something like this out there, and coming here because you knew we'd be fans of it.
I discovered recently that WL (and now Cinderella) can no longer ship to us in Georgia. Certainly not WL's fault - my last couple of attempted online orders with various stores/wineries hit snags due to Ga shipping laws.
Does anyone in Ga. have experience setting up an account with the Alabama ABC stores for receiving and storing deliveries?

Gary, you are the devil. OK, extrapolating from yesterday and today I am going to be spending $100 per day on Cinderellawine. Let's see, that comes to $36,500 per year, right?
I had better look up the address of the local poor-house...

Glad to see something I can pass on, for a change. I hope they sell a lot of the stuff, there is probably a big market for this kind of thing.
