"Aromas of vanilla, licorice, mint and berries follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a vanilla cream and raspberry aftertaste. Very jammy style. But it grows on you. Move over Australia. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Best after 2007. 3,500 cases made."
This wine is a blend of 25% Syrah, 30% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is actually the final vintage of this wine made by Dr. Giacomo Tachis, the man who is known as the 'father or Super Tuscans'. He was the winemaker for Antinori for over 30 years, and was the original winemaker for Sassicaia as well.
"Argiano`s vineyards are blessed with a fortunate microclimate and enviable position both of which contribute to favourable development of the grapes. The extended vegetative cycle and maturation period are due to the 300m above see level plateau thus creating cool nights in the summer months. The moderate rainfall in general of Montalcino promotes a better and healthier ripening period, bringing more concentration and flavours to the wine. This combined with the constant and warm winds from the Maremma that cool down the grapes during the hottest days of summer enables a slower ripening period rendering all over favourable conditions. Last but not the least, the close proximity of Argiano to Monte Amiata, one of Tuscany’s highest peak that shelters the whole area from bad weather. Consequently, all factors combined enable Argiano to produce year after year high profile wines and consistently good vintages." - Winery
"The grapes are picked from end-September to beginning of October. The harvest always begins with the Syrah and the Merlot grapes while the Cabernet Sauvignon grape needs some more time to express its whole personality through a later ripening. The three different grapes are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with temperature control for 12 to 16 days. The second fermentation, also called Malolactic (which all red wines undergo), occurred immediately after the alcoholic fermentation to emphasize softness of both fruit and tannin. The wine then aged 15 to 17 months in new French oak barrels. Solengo is usually blended at the end of May with a final blend composed of 25% Syrah, 30% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is bottled in July with no filtration and as a result may possess the harmless sediment which is the sign of high quality, natural wine." - Winery

Discussion On Tonight’s Wine
Why does it have to be a competition between WL, WTSO, and wine.woot? Why can’t we just be happy to have all these great wine deals sites and be able to buy from any of them, depending upon their selection and tastes? I personally have bought from all 3 sites (among others) and hope they all thrive!
Great offering, another great idea from Gary V. in the spirit of Woot.com (a 1:00 AM East coast starter). Should be interesting as we roll into a global wine and grape glut.
12 midnite is too late for us East Coasters. Earlier is better and certainly more fair for your peeps on the right coast.
Gary, Don’t change the time….that’s the thing that makes it fun and different. You can do other things for those who can’t hang with the big boys!
Nice start – hope this is not a tease but the start of a beautiful relationship!
What is going on?
Just got on now and figured it would all be gone! Oh well!
holy crap- it’s sold out already. Gary V., what’s up with the midnight offering? Just checking my wine cellar, I paid $78 for the 2001 Solengo (95 pts). $24 is an insane price.
I didn’t buy this, for fear that my spouse would be indicted for homicide. This is a seriously dangerous website. I fear the restraint cannot last. When that time comes, please go gentle on her. She means well….
Bring on the offerings of both sparkling wine and zinfandel !
Why release the new wines at midnight and make everyone wait up? How about 8pm?
I hope they gonna send me a Argiano solengo ’03 and not a pumpkin ;p
Gary & gang…love the site. Trouble for the bank account. Might need a bigger cellar. Vic…how did WTSO betray their customers? I don’t buy there too often but they seem cool…
Whats going on?
Like the pumpkin for sold out!
So, a wine is released at midnight each day? Is this to help the west coast folks? Afraid the good ones will be gone by the time I get up and check.
Am I correct about the release time? Midnight?

WhatImDrinking Says:
Time might be changing
Great start! I am a little concerned about missing some wines because they could be sold out before I even wake up….but all in all…glad WL has launched the site.
When I click to read “all 69 comments” I get taken to the “add a comment” screen instead. So, my comment is, “please fix this”.
These wines may also be purchased at your shop, Gary? Wow, this flew out of the place!! I’ll have to stay up late now to catch your fantastic offerings, or hop in the car and drive right over!
You guys are off to a great start, keep it up, How about some good Spanish wines
Great deal! Congrats to WL. Beware of WTSO spammers, they are depraved.
Lose the pumpkin! Looks like this site could be great! Keep up the good work!
the way I read it, there is only a three bottle minimum to get the free shipping, otherwise, it looks like you can order as few as you want????
watch out WTSO – you betrayed your customers and now you have none – first offering is fantastic!
Wow, that price is outrageous. I’d buy if not for the 3 btl minimum. Will there always be a minimum btl purchase?
This is going to be awesome!! Great idea!!
Looks like it will be great! Please bring me some Rieslings so I can stock up!!!

This issue as to whether WTSO or Cinderellawine is best remains to be seen. Right now, the most imporant distinction is that we know the people at Wine Library. Nobody know who is behind WTSO! Wine Library has an incredible staff, and incredible store, and a great track record of customer service. I’m very much looking forward to the holiday season, when I purchase lots of gift wines and baskets (which I hope will be included on this site.)
The Cinderella Wine is a great idea. Hope we will see the American Classic Cabs from CA. in the future. Keep up the great work.
Way better then winestilsoldout.com, (sorry guys) these are real deals. I will fill up my cellar in no time. Free shipping is another plus.
Can’t see the other comments so I don’t know if this has already been posted (sorry if it has). Here’s the CellarTracker link for this wine:

If only it is available worldwide….sigh
yes
Looks like a great deal. This could get addicting!
seriously, who do i have to petition to get wine shipped to MA? this is torture! we can do ANYTHING else in MA except ship wine!
Nice idea. WinesTilSoldOut.com will have competition
