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

Hello Beserkers Unfortunately it can be difficult to ship wine to my home and for a few years I have utilized All Ways Cool in Sonoma. They give good customer care, but I feel like I'm overpaying. I just this week had them ship 2 cases (with very little storage time) and at a regular ground speed vi...

Thank you for sharing...we seem to enjoy some of the same wines!

Was ITB for most of my career, including 9 years as an owner of a wine bar & bistro and found Joe to be genuine gentleman with amazing skills whose wines simply got better with age.

Sonoma Co Zin by Ehren Jordan...pleasantly surprised! Very aromatic with nice crushed raspberry and bing cherry, alcohol is prominent but not at all overwhelming, a bit of acidity and skin tannins, and on balance has a bit of elegance. Overall I found this a pleasure to drink and will be buying a fe...

I adore new world Pinot and there are 4 that I'm lucky enough to be on the mailing list and every year I buy as much as I can afford. Number 1 is Rochioli "small block". It took me 12 years to make the list and I will buy as much as I'm offered. Earlier this year I was offered 6 different cuvees for...

wow, let's try again...my email says the 14th.

y bad...myemail says the 14th.

Curious how people would differentiate their style from PM. Knowing Kutch is Santa Cruz Mt I figured they would be very different from Jamie's...

Didn't see this mentioned anywhere....January 15 is the early offering. This fall I didn't quite make the cut, though I appreciated that I was offered 3 bottles of Hyde Bros (which I promptly bought). Currently my favorite Cali Chards are Kutch and Peter M.... I'll buy at least one of each of their ...

These guys are very talented...didn't receive the initial offering, but was offered in the second offering. I still ordered 22 bottles, but unfortunately the SB wasn't one of them. Hopefully I will be on the initial offering next year. Could I say offering enough?

If you want to see the (growing) list of current participants (expect it to be around 80-100 by the time we are ready to go) here's the list: https://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/memberlist.php?sk=c&sd=a&username=&email=&search_group_id=30&joined_select=lt&count_select=eq&joined=&count=&ip= So I've...

I insist that all berserker owners/management owe me, or rather my bank account, an apology. I joined this site late this year (though I managed to pick up some Sandler-thanks Ed!) but this is my list from this thread alone. If anyone sees any glaring ommisions, please advise. Black Cat, Ridge, Sand...

When I'm in the ...

Thank you Kirk! Thrilled to see this note. This was my fist year to receive an offer, so I shall be receiving 8 750's along with 2 magnums and am eager to follow their maturity. Normally I like to wait a few months when I receive a shipment from All Ways Cool, but it sounds as if this will be quite ...

A case of 2013 Sandler pinot and syrah.

Ed Kurtzman is not only amazingly talented, but may produce the best wine value that I'm aware of...

To start, a full disclosure that I have been a Beringer Cabernet fan for a long time, and therefore maybe biased. Having said that I find recent PR cabs to be bigger than the good old days, and waiting for them all to come around. And, the KV regular bottling has been more of a dog than the classic...

Not new purchases, but my first shipment from All Ways Cool, as the weather was finally acceptable. 24 btls Rochioli small block (finally, after 12 years on the wait list!) full allocation 6 btls Rochioli Syrah 3 btls Aubert "Hyde'' Chard 1 btl Carlisle Cab 1 btl Carlisle Pinot 3 btls Rochioli SB 4 ...

My first year...very excited! Though I did pick up a couple cases of Sandler late...only spending 5K this year...ok, maybe $7500, but that is it! 10K and that's my limit! I'm in real trouble...

Still available?

Taking a magnum of 03 Spottwoode to a dinner with friends...this is by far my favorite Cali Cab, so I'm really hoping this is "in the pocket". I'll report back soon...

So I joined this site about the same time I joined my local Costco. The selection isn't great at all, but on occasion I come across something I enjoy at a fair price and I stock up a bit. This site has been a true joy and I check in a few times a day minimum. Anyway, I was really eager to try the 08...

Called them and they were nice enough to add on 6 bottles of OVZ to my fall order!

Just received the fall waiting list offer...I'm in for 16 bottles (at least 1 bottle of everything offered), but I assume the OVZ is part of the Spring offering. I think my local wine shop may have it, if so I'm in for a case.

Received the waiting list offer, and only having tried 1 Bedrock thus far, I managed to "only" order 16 bottles...the only one I was particularly disappointed to not being offered was the Monte Rosso Zin, but at least I secure myself a spot on future offers. Very excited!

I signed up on Carlisle's list this year and count myself as very lucky to get offered 1/1.

The wine gods are smiling on me and I couldn't be happier!!!! Opening my mailbox today and received a card/letter from Thomas winery for the first time! I'm in for The Full Monty (8 bottles of 750ml and 2 magnums). Could not be happier...

I'm really torn. We recently received some Bedrock here in Louisville (Ky is always late to the show)...I'm very excited as I've wanted to try thanks to this amazing site.So I picked up a a bottle of OVZ just to get an idea of the quality. I guess I will do a splash decant and let it get some air......

I don't have the chard but have 10 bottles of the 13 Pinot- SC, Falstaff and McDougal I'm looking to sell. Been stored in temp cellar since receiving from Jamie. If your interested I'll reach out and connect.

interested

Still looking...

Louisville KY.....maybe $75?

Huge fan of Kutch, but never tried...will pay top dollar. You can PM me, email, or text. Thanks in advance...lenstevens02@gmail.com....502-299-0260

Any Kutch and I'm interested...502-299[0260

I'm almost embarrassed how excited I am after reading some of the ballers on this site, but after finally making "the list" this year, i was able to acquire 3 bottles of Rochioli Syrah...have long wanted to try.

Does anyone know if Costco will transfer a case of wine between stores? There is so SLD in Louisville, so are they able to obtain a case from another store??? Any help is appreciated...

Thank you for the reminder!

Thanks to you, I went and shopped, but never got an email from the winery.

Odd.

When I saw your post, I got palpitations!!!

Glad to help Anton!

I am beyond thrilled! As I've previously posted on here, this is my favorite wine (esp the West Block) and waited 12 years to make "the list". I ordered some of the Chardonnays earlier this year, but purchased all of the Pinots (6 different blocks totaling 24 bottles and wish listed 2 more West Bloc...

I'm nearly speechless...I can't thank you enough for sharing your experience and tasting notes. I was fortunate enough to be on Jamie's mailing list for his initial offering and remained for several years. Some personal issues caused me to skip some years, but I have since re-joined and absolutely a...

Len - East and West blocks are definitely the class of the group, although East was pulled out after the '08 vintage for replanting. 3 Corner is also a favorite. Perhaps less structured but such beautiful, pure, hedonistic pinot fruit expression. And don't confuse hedonistic with big. All the wines...

Looks like you're either on the list or you're not. Those allocations are identical to mine, and I've been buying since I think the 2001 vintage. Although I usually take only 12-18 bottles, which is always less than I'm offered. 15 years...that's impressive! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the va...

If anyone is a fan of Rochioli fruit, I would highly recommend Castalia. This is a wine made by Tom Bering, Rochioli's cellar master for the last 25 years or so...he"s a great guy and his wines are 100% Rochioli fruit and very fairly priced.

After nearly a 12 year wait, I finally made "The List"...this is my favorite domestic wine, so I am thrilled. I purchased some Chardonnay earlier this year, but this is what I've been waiting for...very excited. I will be taking my full offering, plus hope to hunt done some more West Block on the se...

D@vid, it's remarkable how our preferences seem to be so similar...don't be alarmed should you notice someone lurking in the shadows of your home, it's just me trying to weasel myself an invite to your next wine!

I signed up and will anxiously await the fall release to see if I made the cut...given the pedigree, I'm excited!

Unfortunately I didn't make the cut for Aubert, but they did send me a nice email and offered my 3 bottles of the Hyde Vineyard, which of course I gladly accepted.

So, as we pass the half way point this year, what offerings are you still eagerly anticipating? I have two that I have put my pennies away for...the Rivers-Marie Cab offering (which comes out later this month, 3 cuvees is what I'm told since there won't be a Herb Lamb offering this year, but will re...
