Robot says mystery wine is 2021 Chimney Rock

From the description…my guess is Stag’s Leap Artemis.

Artemis can be found regularly under $100 and is only $85 on their website.

Vineyards are close, however.

Given the clues, it has to be Artemis.

And “best web” on wine-searcher is $107.

“Who saw that sliver of the moon last night? Made me want to string up my bow and quiver and go for a woodland stroll…maybe spot a deer or boar along the way? Too bad I’m a guy and wouldn’t be allowed in the hunt.”

The punctuation clue I think can be interpreted to point to Stag’s vs Stags’.

What I don’t know is the “Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Jughead Jones, and Mickey Mouse” reference. Makes me think there should be some sort of alliteration in the name.

Vs.

Stags’ Leap Winery

Punctuation - Winiarski sued the recently departed Carl Doumani over Stag’s Leap over Stags’ Leap

Artemis was goddess of the hunt, no men allowed.

Alliteration clue is Warren Winiarski.

Wrong vintage. Mystery bottle is 2022

Now, worth it at $45? I see $60 retail price out there…

It’s got to be Artemis, but that $110 price is BS! I don’t see that anywhere.

AI got it wrong? Color me shocked!

Mystery bottle is a 2022 though.

$45 seems like a decent deal, esp with free shipping for 3. If you like the Artemis bottling.

Can’t trust the dumb robot

it did give me this though:
