Thanks, guys! Will let you know how it fares on Day 2.

Day 2? What's wrong with you? #noleftovers

Beautiful note, Kelly - definitely piqued my interest. I did a quick W-S search and the St. Joseph appears only on the East Coast, where shipping to me is rather expensive. Will have to keep an eye out, I guess

Also on a serious request note, I would LOVE to see Kelley Fox or Walter Scott in the lineup this year! I disagree. If Kelley Fox was included then I wouldn't be able resist buying them and I'm trying to refrain from wine purchases. I have been authorized by my wife to have standing orders at all t...

I've had a couple bottles of the '97 Chave Hermitage, and can't specifically recall whether one should argue if it is 'glossy' or 'elegant' or if those two are even that different from one another. In fact, I've read through this thread a number of times, wondering why there is argument over what 'g...

There's something up with the stylesheets from this icon. When the page is scrolled to a certain point, buttons become unusable.

I really hope there’s some half bottle offers this year.
x2

that would be awesome - not sure who has half bottles, but I think they'd do well

Krug....make it happen Todd!!!

Um, I wish...but it's not Krug, it's Louis Vuitton, and they won't exactly care about BerserkerDay!

Someone PLEASE remind me to buy more Patricia Green Pinot this BerserkerDay! +1 Been on a PGC kick, really digging ‘em, especially with some age! I just finished my last bottle of '13 Durant and it was spectacular - so bright, fresh, perfect acidity, freshness on the fruit was pure and exciting. I'...

Someone PLEASE remind me to buy more Patricia Green Pinot this BerserkerDay!

Just tried High West Rendezvous last night - awesome stuff. Worth the $60-70 for sure. Had side-by-side with the Double Rye, also good, but when side-by-side, the quality of Rendezvous really stands out

FYI the mobile formatting is a bit off since the winebid change. See the screenshot, the icons in the upper right corner of the post overlap your name. That’s been that way for me for months. It's because it is situated above an ad...which you guys don't see...hence that empty space. I could put th...

I’m somewhat new to WB and have heard lots of hype about Berseker Day, but I have no idea exactly what it is. Can someone please enlighten me?

See the first post - there's a link there that might help you

Charles Noellat Beaune 2010 for $25? Yes, please.

I can't find it in CellarTracker, and I'm afraid to add it...

Um, BerserkerDay

Thanks for posting. I was looking at the top and couldn’t find the search bar. It has been moved to a much more convenient and less obtrusive space flirtysmile I agree. I have an old winebid account that this link enticed me to update! Danger! WB costs a LOT of money - I’d be rich if I hadn’t falle...

I hate doing sheetrock work, but I love drinking wine. After a long day playing with joint compound we opened this 2014 Walter Hansel South Slope Pinot Noir . Pouring dark crimson, barnyardy garrigue on the nose. Lots of fruit in this one but not overly ripe, Dr Pepper and Rhubarb with a little ten...

I have a couple of older Dom Perignon I want to try this weekend. 1964 and 1966 Dom. I am wondering how cold to serve it? What kind of glass. How much air? Anything else? Thanks... I think the glass is a personal preference, but I generally prefer a non-flute, all-purpose white wine glass (or poten...

One new development is that we're publishing some free-to-read content, including this article about contemporary Champagne by me: https://www.robertparker.com/articles/zkCHemWaHt6fTavHQ

This article is absolutely fantastic! Thank you, William

My current favorite is the sublime 1998 Magdelaine. Without doubt one of the most impressive wines I have drunk in recent years. The 1998 is an extraordinarily elegant, precise and mineral-rich, seamless Saint-Emilion - medium-bodied, perfectly matured, a wine of total subtlety and finesse! Thanks ...

I just added some Flannery tri-tip to the menu so my wine choices can be a bit broader now...for those of us who don't like turkey (even with a bacon lattice)

Definitely open now...once it shuts down it'll likely take 20+ years to get back to where it is now (in a different way of course). Besides, notes on CT are quite positive. I love this, since I often struggle with 'am I opening this 'prized' bottle too early?' and find myself stuck in that 20-year ...

Glad to see someone listened to my ideas!! One further thought - can the winebid logo not appear on the forum home page (i.e., "Wine Talk")? It's not really necessary then (per your use case) - just when you're in threads.. Or can the location move to the lower right on the forum home? (it blocks t...

One of the main reasons I decided to partner up with WineBid on the search bar function is because of Russ Mann. Since he's taken over as CEO he has been absolutely on FIRE to change things there - he listens, he truly cares about what customers like and dislike, what changes need to take place, etc...

The new format is installed, and much better on both, even to me...who actually WANTED the search bar 'at the ready'. I'm going to eliminate many of the posts (regarding prior design) in this thread and re-do the original post so we can move forward from here and not cause confusion. I guess my beta...

Todd had the Beringer recently at a tasting and did not enjoy it. 2016 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Knights Valley - USA, California, Sonoma County, Knights Valley (10/10/2019) 2019 Hennepin Lake Charity Event (Minneapolis, MN): Better than the Rodney Strong but not in the league of the Ar...

Gorgeous color!

Interesting...sounds like when Beringer Knights Valley was a tremendous QPR. Maybe that region deserves some looking into - Knights Valley

Seems easily worth the price of admission to try it out

Directly into the sink? https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=154746 Wow, that's disconcerting! I have no '10, nor have I tried it, but I have some '12s I'm now worried about... I wouldn't worry. If you read the follow up comments from Mark and John G they feel the 2010 is an abe...

I've got a mag of 2007 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules Domaine des Héritiers that might be smart to open? I bet that's drinking incredibly now - did you buy that from the $47.50 sale years ago? I last opened one in 2012 and it was young but fleshed out with air. I paid $70 so obviously ...

I fear I"m stuck with 'traditional Thanksgiving' which means all the standard items (boring, have to work hard to spruce up turkey, stuffing, and potatoes) and served all at once on the 'good china'. I like the course-by-course idea

L'Evangile is consistently among my favorite Bordeaux. With 2010 I think you'll be fine opening it for 6 hours or more, full decant.

I think the trick to a good importing business is to sell everything pre arrival at really competitive prices, then go try to find it later to import.
funny

Certainly a way to make a lot of money...for a while!

After some back and forth with Karen Troisi of Jean Edwards Cellars (initiated by me), I will add a bottle of their Sauvignon Blanc to the appetizer course because I am guessing that the high acid level in the wine will go well with, and cut through, the oil in the baked brie en boule that we are s...

Fantastic to have the chance to try them with 24 hours of air, as it gives a glimpse at how great these wines will be. I know many love young cabs, and those people will absolutely LOVE these wines...I like a bit of age on mine, even just a few years, so when next I open one, I'll give a full day de...

I'm very pleased to formally launch the project I've been working on with WineBid - the WineBid search bar (version 2.0)! A little background: With what little time I have to play around Wine Berserkers and actually read threads about wine (the whole reason I started this community!), I often found ...

Cheers guys - yes, I'll probably get rid of the dozen or so RBs I have left. That Chinon sounds like a good idea, although probably quite pricey. The Loire 2005s I've tried so far have been a lot better than the Bordeaux - although very structured, less tannic and with more vibrant fruit. Sorry, to...
