Wine Berserkers - international wine social media, online community, and discussion

That would be a bummer if they did slap the bottles with .97 instead of .99 so we can use the codes. What exactly does this mean? I know I will be in for between 1 and 6 bottles but have a month to decide I guess. Did anybody actually review this vintage? The .97 on wine.com means the price ends in...

Price is down $10 per bottle but I am going to hold off. I think I can do better using a $100 off $300 wine.com code and get this for closer to $200 per with free shipping. I don't see Shafer selling out of HSS in this economy. That has worked for me as well in the past, have picked up recent vinta...

Sssshhhh! I'm Tier One, not Tier Awesome, but was just able to place my order. Yes. Shhhhh. I just made tier awesome as well. Lets keep this quiet. Not sure what the magic number is that gets me onto this tier but for 2018 I am at 18 bottles. Been on the list since 2012. Smith wines are beautiful. ...

Just popped open the 2013 Bedrock Monte Rosso.

Very nice wine. It has come together.

Not to ruin anybody’s day here but 2017 MacDonald allocations won’t be out until mid September.

Beckstoffer is a man clearly not in touch with reality. Love what other people do with his grapes but as he has said all along, all he did was buy up what was the perceived best prices of land making the best grapes.

To me, he is just a landlord.

Full case.

I grabbed one eagle summit and one redhead magnum.

Thanks for the offer.

While my portfolio has dropped a good 12% last week, I am sure I will not see an equal drop in prices for wine. Like ever.

Whoops, yes you’re correct.

Mental note- don’t post after several glasses of wine... fixed

I’m not taking your word for this. Later tonight after a couple or three glasses, I will post my insights into investing in this market. Your money, not mine.

I would back out if I didn't already have tickets in hand that were non refundable. And if it gets worse, tickets in hand be damned.

Opened the 2016 Evangelo tonight. Hoping for the best. I am also looking at opening my last bottle of 2010 Papas all blacks relatively soon. Meaning weeks/months, probably this year. Any thoughts on this one? Glenn Levine reported on one last year and said he'd open his next one in ten years. I'm p...

Finally placed my order. I did get me some wedlock. Always grab Weil away. Lorenzo too.
We agree on that!

We must have good taste.

Did not get my wish list Dr Crane. Thanked them anyways. It was explained to me that the allocation wines are good for 7 days and no matter how fast you are on getting your order in with the wish list items, your quickness will BE IGNORED and the extra wines not taken through allocation go to whomev...

2014 Elysian or Macdonald.

Well, I hope the producers I buy from read this article. Allocation prices seem a bit inflated to me.

I will be contacting Saxum tomorrow to relinquish my position on the list. I’ve enjoyed taking my small allocations over the last 6 years or so but Rhône blends just don’t bring as much pleasure to my wife or me as a hearty Napa Cab. And I really need to cut back. I hope a Berserker gets lucky and ...

Braised short ribs with a nice mushroom risotto is my all time favorite dish.

Consider that there are still a lot of people whose response to "How about zinfandel" is "The red kind or the white kind?" There is too little appreciation of the better quality zins. I suspect that the fluctuation is the result of periodic fascination with another grape (e.g., Malbec) that causes ...

Grabbed
2 To-Kalon
1 Dr Crane.

Happy but wished for more.

Popeyes blows chunks and anyone who prefers In n Out over anything needs some help.

KFC is what's good for America.

I can’t seem to get onto this list. Is there a secret code or password I need?

I will be pulling money out of my retirement account to cover BD11 plus other wine purchases this month.

How many bottles were produced for the 2015 and 2016

I still had shipping on my Emailed invoice.

First time buying this wine. Grabbed a three pack of the 2015 Salt Vine Cabernet.

Easiest purchase for me. Took 4 cabs and 2 syrahs.

Thanks I will definitely enjoy these.

2015 Bedrock Pagani.

I am always in a good place drinking this wine. One of my favorites from Morgan.

Took my usual three bottles of Materium.

Opened 125 bottles.

Dumped down the drain. 5 bottles.

Looks like I am passed over. Again. Signed up in early 2013.

Was able to get on at 4 minutes to and placed my order within two minutes.

3 dr Crane
3 dr Crane Elysian.

So, I guess I am not making the list this year.

Realm
MacDonald
Maybach
Riverain
Becklyn
Myriad
More Realm

Hey Anton, Let’s not drink one together. I will not drink to that. Joe..that’s great. Because as I recall you’ve got a bunch of 2012 Caymus and no one wants to drink that. You are alone w your Caymus. I unfortunately do have about 12-14 bottles of caymus left. 3 750ml and 3 1000ml 2012 bottles whic...

I’m glad it’s out now, that way I can start not drinking it sooner!

I will not drink to that.

Well, Realm the Bard should have been in the top 10 not #36

Plus a 2014 Peller estate ice wine

Opening the last Match wine I own

2010 Match Butterdragon magnum

Butterball. Hopefully bleached. Brined overnight with salt, brown sugar, allspice pods and rosemary. I use Alton Browns method to cook it. Stuff turkey with apples, oranges, lemons and rosemary. 30 minutes at 500 degrees then reduce to 350 degrees Looks like this after 30 minutes 14EDFEF2-D7E1-42CC-...

I have said it at least 15 times. Only twice was the wine actually undrinkable when it was not obviously corked or heat damaged.

Joe,

I am bit confused by your tasting note. It sounds like you absolutely hated the wine, but you gave it a score of 92? Or was that a joke?

Inside joke where people post bad notes with good scores. I gave it an 85. Which was too high.

I really do not know what I am drinking but it a cross between a little bit of over the hill medicine with that flatness effect on my tongue and a whole lot of prune juice. The prune juice may have expired. (92)

Initially narrowed down to 5 wines I want to order...need to get it down to 3.

Monte Rosso, Dolinsek*, and???

*Dolinsek tends to be tiny allocations, so I might be able to grab a fourth.

Farmhouse. To be honest I have a vertical back to 2013 and have not cracked a single one.

I just got denied my shipment until further notice.

I had wine shipped to a Walgreens- they moved it into the store onto shelves behind the counter at the photo department. I had to show ID and tracking number to take possession of it. Worked smoothly. I've also shipped wine to folks who picked it up at a Walgreens- I got confirmation they signed fo...

16 of the 17 hottest years on this planet have been since 2000, where have you been? Not sure which way to go with this information. Climate change is real but didn’t affect anything wine related or climate change is fake which is why there was no change in wine. Either way everyone who was all doo...

We all feared at the time that 2003 was the first of many such vintages - luckily that hasn't happened yet.

Was there a reason for this fear?
