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

Having just become familiar with this winery approx a year ago thanks to this site, I'm already up to 5 cases. The recent podcast didn't help as I ordered every cuvee offered! The only exception was the LL Zin, but i wish listed a bottle and thus far I've been offered my wish list items.

I feel like I showed a lot of restraint, but I ordered 2 bottles of everything except the 2 Cabs, which I ordered 3 each. This is quickly becoming my favorite winery.

Thanks to this site, I've become a huge Bedrock fan and will probably order a minimum of a bottle of each cuvee and I'm guessing a total of 2 cases or so total. Monte Rosso Cab? Oh yeah, I'm way in!!!

I'm a HUGE RM fan...am taking the full allocation plus, thanks to Beserkers, also picking up 9 extra SC, 6 OV Summa, and hopefully a few Platt. Not to mention 9 older OV Summas from a very generous berserker.

The label is pretty cool as well...

Hi

I was lucky to find a few Beserkers last year to help,,,so I thought I would put it out there before next Tuesday's offer.

Offer
$125 for Platt

EDIT-now only seeking Platt

Wow...nice note Dan! Reminds me of McHenry. I'm in for a case. Only $18/btl plus free shipping!

Any contact info?

In a brief chat with Will Segui, he mentioned that it was both his and TRB's opinion that the gap between the "old vine" and regular bottling of Summa is getting closer and closer. This is exciting news to me since I find the OV Summa one of my 5 favorite domestic pinots.

Really disappointed in Aubert. Didn't receive my "save the date email" a couple of weeks ago, after receiving and purchasing twice last year, so I gave them a call. They looked up my account and said I definitely would be receiving an offer this last Tuesday. It came and went with no offer...

As always, I'll take my full allotment (18 bottles plus Platt wish list request) abd will post a request on Commerce Corner for more Platt, OV Summa, and SC!

Nice to see some buzz for Accendo Cellars as I think it’s well deserved. Thought I would add a little color commentary for those who are interested. In full transparency, I feel lucky to consider Bart Araujo a friend and mentor. I remember walking the Eisele Vineyard with Bart somewhere in the mid-...

Len - happy to introduce you to Mikael Tigrett and send him a note introducing you. I'm sure he will be able to accommodate something. Have had the '15 and '16 and they are incredible. Nigel Kinsman and Francoise are doing great things there! Mikael did indeed reach out and what a class act! He is ...

So I recognize that by no means am I a "know it all", but until reading Galloni's Vinous, I was not familiar with this winery. I'm shocked, but happy to have found it. Now I have an 1100 bottle cellar, was a wine bar owner, and was fortunate enough to pass level III of the MS, but no knowl...

Since I didn't receive a "save the date"email from Aubert, I called the winert yesterday. They confirmed I will be getting an offer on Tuesday. I just made the list last year so I was thrilled. It's one of two of my favorite Chardonnays (though very different in style, Kutch is my other). ...

I can't thank Roy and Russel enough. The sharing og their knowledge is one of the primary reasons I adore this site and check in daily!

And that is why Roy is the best!

Like a lot of Beserkers, I too had slowed down my buying, but couldn't turn this down. This was case #25 for the record.

I spoke with Roy Piper yesterday on the phone. He said he will be adding his general impressions on '19 on here. There is no body better IMO!

I assume it was TRB at the helm! If that man ever forms a religion, I will be the first to volunteer for priesthood.

I must track one of these down!

I too had the same questions.

Thanks to this board, I'm now familiar with this wine and picked up a few on CC. I will be loading up on berserker Day!

I too was curious if someone could talk about the difference in the single vineyards vs the Napa? I'm definitely going to pick up 6 of the Napa and am pondering 3 each of the SV...thoughts?

Most of my faves have been mentioned with the exception of Kutch. Though his '18 Trout Gulch is a bit tight now, I think it will develop into a quasi-legend in 3-5 years, similar to his '14 SCM which is my favorite domestic I've ever had.

So I don't need an OVZ, even from 70 yo vines even if it's only $9 per bottle plus shipping! I repeat, I don't need

(thanks for the note, sounds terrific!)

Could not agree more! I'm a TRB fan and have been on the fence, but at this price, who am I kidding?

All were 15.0%...just not my style of Pinot.

Well after that experience, I sold the remaining 7 bottles I had. 2 Sonoma Coast and 5 single vineyards to a fellow berserker.

I enjoy their Chardonnay, just not a fan of the Pinot. The usual caveats about buyer taking ownership upon mailing. 3 Sonoma Coast 1 CIX 2 UV-SL 2 UV $540 below my cost direct from winery) plus shipping. I live in Louisville KY. Include your zip code with email and I will give shipping cost. I will ...

So last night I had dinner with a friend. We have both become big fans of Holy Grail steaks and were trying the rack of lamb for the first time. I decided on 2 wines for the evening. I didn't take detailed notes, but these are my general impressions. Our first wine was the 2018 Kutch Trout Gulch Cha...

Yeah, he said the same to me via a nice phone call. Said later via text to expect my order today and surprise! I received my "full monty" yesterday! I'm thrilled that the '18 is 13.4% as well!

14 is my favorite domestic Chard, though I have a case of '18 Trout's Gulch that I've yet to taste. Jamie thinks it might be as good potentially as the '14!

I had a friend bail out on me, so here's what I'm offering... 3 bottles of each...the usual buyer takes ownership upon shipping...I will ship via UPS and confirm shipping cost when I receive buyers zip code. No 65 2018 Willamette Pinot Noir No 66 2018 Napa Cab No 70 2018 Chehalem Mt Willamette Pinot...

So this was my debut with this particular wine and...Wow! First a bit of background which will only confirm what an amazing gentleman owner/winemaker Will Segui is. On Roy Piper's strong recommendation, I had ordered a case of the W&M's proprietary red as well as 6 each of his Merlot/CF blend an...

More than a little surprised that Rochioli has Not been part of this discussion. IMO, one of the very best Pinots (the SVD’s) in California. Drank a 96 West Block last year, and it was singing, and could have gone ten more years. Still have most of my 04’s - looking forward to them. When I got on t...

was granted 2 LH and 1 Oakville...very happy!

Only allocated one as well, my 4th bedrock order. Allocated 1, my 11th yr purchasing. Morgan mentioned in the release letter that it would be highly allocated due to low availability. Just wanted to chime in here regarding the low allocations on the LH. This is an almost impossible wine for us to a...

I've enjoyed a few Kirklands, but last night tried the new RRV Pinot...not good at all IMO. A bit hot and simply monolithic. I tried to stick with it, but couldn't. Poured it down the sink then opened an '18 Rochioli. Same grape, vintage, alcohol (14.5%), AVA. Yes I realize Rochioli is one of the be...

This was my third order and I'm in for a case. Unfortunately had to wish list the Gewurtz and Oakville cuvee. Not very optimistic.

I actually have a 6L of '79 Mondavi Reserve Cab (a decent year as I understand) and the winery told me they only produced 3 that year. What the hell am I going to do with it???

Honestly for me, it's been a pretty impressive show. By the end of next week (assuming they follow through with the schedule) I will be down to 3 Wash wines. I'm quite satisfied with this performance. Well done Cameron!

I emailed customer service about two early purchases I hadn't received yet (no.'s 4 & 7) and Mickey was great and said they will be shipping tomorrow.

Yep, this is going to be expensive.
[/quotThis may be the funniest post I've seen on this site...as well as incredibly accurate!

I have a lot of thoughts, but I feel it's best for me to wait. Let me say that I am a former owner of a wine bar & bistro restaurant and was active in the Court from 04-08 and my 2 study partners went on to become Masters (including 1 who is currently on their board). I am very proud of them and...

This...and I'm lucky enough to have a case of Sheflitt. (sp?)

Wish it weren't quite so hot, but seems like a value play...

So this yar this site has been helpful in the discovery of Kelly Fox and Walter Scott...so it is my plan to add Goodfellow this January!

So the only 2 wines I purchased early that I haven't received yet are no 4 (Napa merlot) and no 7 (SRH Pinot)...anyone receive yet? Sofar I've received 13 cases, so I'm pleased with the shipping.

What type of shipper did they use? An 8 bottle or full case?

Cheers.
