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

I’ll eat everything unless it’s mixed or prepared in a way that it shouldn’t be.

See tuna fish stories above. I like tuna. I like peas. I like cream of mushroom soup. I like potato chips. I won’t eat tuna fish casserole though.

You know what’s interesting is whats ur dream allocation if u can’t flip. (Assume somehow that’s controllable). Realm - Love the wines. Make several cabs. Great price ranges and value. Excellent story. MacDonald - Love the one wine they make. Story is excellent. Great caretakers of their property. ...

That is the famous Parker vs. Jancis wine, right?

Yup. Holding off on my two bottles.

That was a great video.

Watch the Netflix documentary called The Social Dilemma.

Maybe it is the secret MacDonald's Reserve that only a few of us get ?
I call bs...wait, is there such a thing?

I’m not telling but.......

Those are the wrong lists.

There are a few pieces in there that I would not mind owning.

Wish
It’s granted for one Falstaff.

Found my first every MacDonald offer by accident in my junk mail folder!!!!!!!!!!! Order in :) Good for you. That happened to me except I found it too late. Missed out on the 2013's hitsfan When I contacted the MacDonald brothers about it the following year, they made sure I was given an offer. Thi...

Pass.

Took my three pack.

As if I wasn’t going to right?

By more from the previous vintage?

Bard 15 + 9 wishlist

Feels like a lot, but I bought a similar amount of the 2016 and not a bottle left.

Yeah, its really not. I bought 15 last year and I am down to 8.

I’ve been on the Screaming Eagle waitlist for going on 14 years. I don’t know that they’ve added any new members in several years. Curious to see when active folks on here made the leap from the waitlist. Ahhhh crap! Haha I’m 2009 so if 2006 hasn’t made it yet. It’s not happening for me anytime soo...

For those looking to buy or sell, please post in commerce corner. Let's try to keep this thread on the release. It's 500 people looking to buy at release price and not a single person looking to sell at release price, LOL [rofl.gif] [rofl.gif] [rofl.gif] Why would ANYONE sell at release price when ...

When is release?

Took 14 Bards plus a 1.5L Bard and wished for 1 Falstaff. Left my Absurd, Moonracer, Tempest on the table.

No Dragon. No Rattlesnake.

Not happy today.

I'd guess that might be volatile acidity, not mega purple. To me, when I suspect I'm tasting it, it's the Welch's grape juice flavor. I very well could be wrong, though. I tend to lean in your direction. For practice, and the only reason to buy them...is to try Caymus Regular Cab and Meomi's pseudo...

First time trying Bard was two weeks ago as I wanted to see if my 2017 purchase warranted this years allocation. Couldn’t believe how awesome it was. For me, it killed a similarly priced tignanello. Very different wines of course but can’t wait to add some 2018. [cheers.gif] I’m drinking the 2017 B...

I've been buying since 2012, every year I try and pencil out the perfect purchase allocation. But, one thing holds true - you will never regret putting an extra Bard in your cart. First time trying Bard was two weeks ago as I wanted to see if my 2017 purchase warranted this years allocation. Couldn...

Now that we’re all up-to-date on the he said she said crap did anyone read what Leah wrote? They held back a few cases for doing tastings but due to COVID-19 they haven’t been able to do tastings so they are offering the wines for sale. Have at it! Everyone except Matt of course. [wink.gif] I read ...

I thought that was actually normal. I ignore it and it doesn't really bother me.

This is the greatest vintage.....

since 2017.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with Saxum...I’m still on the waiting list!

Not me, I cracked it one prior release ago.

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.
